<p>Loaded new frimware into all 12 FEE64s in the system. IWR_Dec19_4.bin </p>
<p>Booted ok after power-cycle. </p>
<p>RESET/SETUP/GO all fine.</p>
<p>system wide checks ( SWC ) clocks, white rabbit ( WR ) OK, ADC calibrated : aida10 failed. Couldn't get them to calibrate.</p>
<p>Checked aida01 waveforms for ASIC1. set threshold for LED to 5000 to stop triggering in the noise.</p>
<p>Set White Rabbit register SYNC Rollover Target ( 14 ) to 0x4000 instead of 0xe to reduce the data rate to better understand the waveform activity.</p>
<p>All FEE64s are set to enable all channels of ASIC1 with low thresholds so a lot of data moving. Checked activity using statistics window.</p>
<p>Checked waveforms working for ASIC1 of aida01. Noisy but capturing the pulser pulse.</p>
<p> Enabled all the waveforms on aida01 to see if they all function ok. After a few seconds waveform readout stopped. Not sure of the reason.</p>
<p>STOP, change all four thresholds to 5000, Check ASIC controls : all ok, GO. No activity.</p>
<p>RESET/SETUP ok.</p>
<p>SWC : clock failed, ADC failed , WR ok ????</p>
<p>Power-cycle...... concludes ok, RESET/SETUP ok, SWC : clocks all failed, ADC all failed, WR ok.</p>
<p>Checked WR status browser page for aida01. WR timestamp 0 ! status : 0xA should be 0 .</p>
<p>Checked tcl for SWC WR check and it doesn't check the status. Changed at DL and at GSI and now it does.</p>
<p>so SWC WR check no all fails.</p>
<p>Contacted NH and he found Fatima VME crate with WR source in had been switched off. It was powered on again.</p>
<p>RESET/SETUP , SWC: clocks all ok, ADC all ok, WR all ok.</p>
<p>set aida01 and all odd number LED thresholds to 5000 and aida02 all even number thresholds to 10000 and activity of statistic Wave Good Events is similar across the system. </p>
<p>Checked each of the Waveform capture controls pages ( only shows the status registers for ASIC1 ) and all are fine, nothing sticking.</p>
<p>enabled all the ASIC waveforms on aida01 again and it sticks, clear out three ASICs and operate the waveform reset in the System Functions and it restarts and runs.</p>
<p>So a qualified success. Don't enable too many channels at once ?</p>
<p>left running at 18:00 UK time and checked at 21:30 UK time , still operating ok.</p>
