10.30 : Turn off AIDA FEE64s 

        Prepare a ground cable for snout - M10 terminal on one end for copper bar. Will affix with Cu tape for now (no free screws)

Plan for today:

Remove extraneous ground cables
Check ground of all FEE64s esp. 05 and 07 - include on FEE64 side.
 14:42 - Done all grounds seem snug, extra ground cables removed. Try power on and check

Try powering just DSSD1 FEE64s
 - No change (aida01 125k, aida02,03,04 - 400k)

Try grounding snout
 14:59 Connection to snout very bad as tape does not fix well to thick copper in braid. nO difference either way.

Probe PSU output with Battery DSO if available
 - See figure 2

Try shuffling FEE64 power allocation
 - 15:32 - Now as 1 X 3 X 2 X 4 X
                  5 X 7 X 6 X 8 X
(Also FEEs on own pair)
   No difference to rates

Multimeter voltages for last socket of PSU1 (paired with aida04):
  1 : 6.02 V
  2:  6.02 V
  3:  6.02 V
  4: -6.44 V
  5:  7.74 V

Similar on PSU2

Voltage between right (GND) pin 5 and 1 (pin 5 is COM) is -0.4 V, similar if pin 4 is COM. Pin1-3 are 0 V when paired
  

Spectra layouts for 2x DSSSDs can be found in directory ~/LayOut/2xDSSSDs

Attachment 1 - DSSSD bias & leakage current - OK

Attachment 2 - ADC data item stats

Attachment 3 - FEE64 temps - OK

Attachments 4-7 - aida01, 02, 03 & 04 2.*.W spectra

Noise observed for asics #1 & #2 of aida02 consistent with no cable attached - confirmed by visual inspection - ribbon cable disconnected from Samtec header of adaptor PCB

To Do list

1) re-connect ribbon cable to aida02 adaptor PCB
2) good quality ground to snout - use screws at inter-stage
3) install heavy duty grounds
4) ...

13:30 - Attach heavy duty ground to AIDA 

Attachment 11 - per FEE64 rate spectra - slow comparator 0xa

Try power cycle as system ground changed significantly now

Try to reattach aida04 TTY connector - still wrong

Archive old tty logs (ttyUSB*) to zip and delete them, makes easier to track startup 

Attachment 12 - per FEE64 rate spectra - slow comparator 0xa

No major difference, aida01 quieter than before

aida05 has some missing channels - loose ERNI?

Attachements 13 & 14 - Waveforms

Temporarily raise to 0x64 and test merger for DTAS synchro test later... all works good to MBS 
Change NETVAR MERGE.LinksAvailable to 8

Notice one copper screw touching aluminium, add some kapton tape behind it to isolate it. No difference

Voltage diff between aida02,aida06 < 1 mV
Voltage diff between copper bars < 0.5 mV (but not 0)

A comment from DTAS people that they observed a large increase in noise recently - perhaps from accelerator
May indicate current power/gronud oddities?

Attachment 15 - Rates at 0x1f (= 310 keV)

DSSSD#1 reasonable (aida04 a bit bad), but mostly just pulser (25 Hz)

DSSSD#2 much worse esp. p+n sides (aida05, aida07)

ERNI connectors pushed in and feel fully in

2x MSL type BB18(DS)-1000 installed

DSSD stack will be as follows

1      3208-7  1019       125              upstream
2      3208-13 1020       120              downstream

First start checking bias pins on both detectors
These are pins on the *bottom right* of each 68 pin connector (C-2299)
Expect finite resistance

3208-7: 
  Top and bottom: 22 Ohm
  Left and right: 22 Ohm

3208-13:
  Top and bottom: 22 Ohm
  Left and right: 22 Ohm

Conclusion: All bias bond wires are intact on both DSSDs

Visual inspection is both DSSDs look good with no damage or bond wire issues

Installed in snout: full stack

3 mm bPlas 1
17 mm Air
1 mm AIDA 1  (645 mm from base of snout)
9 mm Air
1 mm AIDA 2 (655 mm from base of snout)
12 mm Air
3 mm bPlas 2

The n+n FEEs were all removed to adjust the platform back to the single configuration

After some confusion we found the orientation of the frame to position the single detectors and moved back

Faulty AIDA cards aida05 and aida14 were removed to be returned backi (ASIC damage)

The cables for aida10 and aida12 were moved back to the left-right side and the n+n cards were installed and reocnnected

p+n cards moved to bring aida11 and aida09 above aida03/aida07 and aida01/aida05. Also move a different card to replace old aida05

While doing this it was noticed the HDMI for aida13 was very loose and actually fell off (I guess the cable was pulled incorrectly)
It has been removed and will eb sent back to be resoldered 

The copper grounding bars and ITEM frame were removed due to conflicting with the single snout layout
The bolts are slightly too short to hold the frame where it won't conflict so we loko for longer bolts to reattach the system
Some new ground cables will be made to reach the extra n+n FEEs

Aida13-Aida16 removed from the PSU

Second switch will stay in S4 and has now been screwed in properly below the switch 1 and the hdmi cables entrance

DHCP *not* updated

Relay is powered *off* so FEEs cannot be turned on, alL HV channels disabled

Tomorrow is a holiday so no work will be happening @ GSI

09:00 - Remove bias of DSSDs  and pwoer of FEEs

Remove snout from S4 so DEGAS frame can be mechnically removed

      Plan for the morning is once beam is lost is Ge group will enter and place source on the snout to perform efficiency measurement.
      Once they have left the area and are taking data a pulser walkthrough will be performed.
      Patrick can then have access to the system

08:16 Beam taken away
