EMERGENCY SHUTDOWNS

1. CARME motors: Q key on keyboard while on workspace 1 of appc218 (right of this double-monitor setup)

2. Internal target:

ELOG

Each shift should put all information relating to the shift in ONE elog entry unless a significant change occurs during the shift i.e beam off, target off, run change, detectors out etc.

Elog entry should be named by the shift - morning/afternoon/night followed by the current run number

TO DO FOR THE SHIFTERS - CHECK EVERY HOUR AND POST TO ELOG WITH SCREENSHOTS. ELOG should be updated with current beam energy, injection beam intensity, system checks OK/not, FEE temperature OK/not, Statistics OK/not, Merger OK/not, tape server data rate, Motors OK/not and min/max motors potentiometer value. The time of each update should be noted in the elog. Screenshots of important screens (detailed below) should also be uploaded to the elog.

CARME DAQ

CARME computer has 6 workspaces (WS), two monitors for each WS.

WS1 : left monitor - fee power

          right monitor - Detector Bias control, fee power server (just a terminal, do not close)

WS2 : left monitor - DAQ controls

          right monitor - DAQ server (just a terminal, do not close)

          Most important tabs (DAQ controls)

• Run control : shows daq status, stopped / going
• Fee temperatures : temperatures of fees labelled aida01, aida02, aida03, aida04, aida05, aida06, aida07, aida08, aida09, aida10, aida11, aida12, aida13, aida14, aida15, aida16. Hit reload, temperatures will update and should all be green. 1-2 C above safe limit (top) is OK. More than that - warn expert shifter immediately.
• Statistics : shows the statistics for each fee. Make sure ADC Data Items is selected in the left hand menu. Hit update all  (SCREENSHOT once, if no changes record OK in elog)
• System wide checks : checks for the setup. Click on 'Check Clock Status', 'Check ADC Calibration' and 'Check the White rabbit decoder status' to run checks. (SCREENSHOT once, if no changes record OK in elog)
• Spectrum browser : loads histograms for fees and fee channels from preset layouts. select layout from 'layout ID' then restore layout from 'Arrange functions' drop down menu. Check layout 1, Select log scale and change xmax as 128 . This displays the data rate per strip. If any strips are a lot higher than the others, or very different from previous entry, make a note in the ELOG. (SCREENSHOT once, if no changes record OK in elog)
• Asic control : sets asic parameters

WS3 : left monitor - Merge control, Tape server

          right monitor - servers (just terminals, do not close) , data being written to file

• Check NewMerger tab. Hit reload button and see if 'current links with data' and 'current merged data rate' are updating. All links should go green, but not necessarily at the same time. Keep hitting refresh until you see all of them going green at least once.
• Data rate, hit reload should be around 100,000. Record data rate in elog
• Check tapeService tab. Hit reload button. Check data rate in Kbytes/sec box. Record data rate to elog. This is where the current run number is displayed
• On the right-hand monitor, bottom right terminal, check the current run fragment (sub-run) is being written and is slowly increasing in size. It refreshed automatically every 5 seconds.

WS4 : Leakage current plot

• Check leakage current plot is stable. Transients will occur during motors movement but baseline current should remain consistent. Make sure it is updating and time is correct. (SCREENSHOT once, record OK in elog if no changes) Check present values on WS2, CAEN window

WS5 : Online data monitoring

• Check the following plots are updating for each DSSD
  • LowEnergyXYTotal (right click - col - colz). This shows the total number of events, per pixel, since the code was started / re-started.
  • LowEnergyXYRate (right click - col - colz). This shows the rate over the last 20 seconds.
  • LowEnergyExRate (double left click. Right click on y axis - Log scale on y). Rate over the last 20 seconds
  • LowEnergyExTotal (double left click. Right click on y axis - Log scale on y). This shows the total energy deposited on all X strips since code restart.
  • LowEnergyEyTotal (as above). as above, Y strips. (SCREENSHOT of each per DSSD per shift. If significant changes are observed screenshot again)

WS6 : Browser, ELOG

-->IMPORTANT NOTE: MIDAS DAQ can respond slowly. DO NOT try to change tab or give new command while the previous one is being executed. Check activity in right-hand part of tab currently in use. Do not double click on buttons.

Motors computer (Computer to the right)

• Check motors cycle is running. The code will cycle through the loaded motors instructions. When an instruction is being done it is highlighted in bold. Check the bold highlighting cycles through entire set of instructions.
• Check potentiometer is reproducing same max/min values for each cycle of instructions.
• Detectors are on LEFT and RIGHT arm.
• No need for screenshots, but record in the ELOG you checked this.
