In preparation for the dry run the following *temporary* changes to the FEE numbering have been prepared
These should be reverted after the dry run to ensure cable->fee agreement again

AIDA09 => AIDA06
AIDA11 => AIDA07
AIDA12 => AIDA08

This will allow the merger to run with 8 FEEs for 1 DSSD

dhcpd.conf updated

The 2023Oct19-13.46.30 should work with this numbering (check tomorrow)

As should layout GSI_triple_test_renumber 

AFTER dry run:

Revert DHCP and prepare for full 16 FEEs 

Make new ASIC settings key for 16 FEEs and prepare the aidaXX folders

Prepare a new Layout.mlf set

Last week there was a power failure in Messhuette (FRS control room) - AIDA-3 and MBS were affected.
AIDA itself and S4 equipment is on UPS and was not shut down.

AIDA-3 has been restarted and MIDAS restarted. All seems OK

S4 conditions: 24.2 C / 33.5% RH / Td = 7.1 C 

There was a power failure in the morning of 24.08.2023 in the Rhein-Main area affecting GSI

The Aida workstation (aida-3) has been restarted, it is unknown if the Pis in S4 rebooted as well (there is a UPS)

29.8.23 TD Both RPi systems rebooted four days ago.

Attachment 1 - 4 socket input connectors ( from sensor to interlock box )

Attachment 2 & 2 - 24V dc relays and internal wiring

Attachment 4 - 3 socket input connector ( from interlock box to USB-controlled ac mains relay )

Labelled PID plots.  Note that the A/Q calibration is shifted by +0.02 units, and Z calibration is offset by about +5.

There was an error in the printouts for Cd isotopes, but the below attachments are corrected.

The Z-depth (color, not nuclear charge) is log scale.

01:02

Aida04 was zero not reading had to call Tom to fix it.

02:00 checked all good and attached.

Its been running good after that till 7:30 again the same problem happened and Tom fixed it.

Investigating AIDA noise with a TA041 differential probe and oscilloscope 

AC Mains (DESPEC platform AC, L-N)
Probe attentuation = 1:100

Fig 1: Main AC waveform [X: 5ms/div, Y: 100 V/div]
Fig 2: Zoomed in at peak (20 V FSR, any less and the waveform clipped) [X: 10us/div, Y: 20V/div]
Fig 3: Longer time base and FFT of 0-5 MHz. No significant frequency harmonics noticed [X: 5ms/div, Y:20 V, FFT X: 500 kHz/div, Y: 10 dBm/div]

No significant noise or distortion present, fully within any AC specification. 
Note that at the moment there is almost no load on AC
Equipment on on DESPEC rack: AIDA NIM, AIDA Raspberry Pis, bPlas PC (+ WR) + 2x DESPEC NIM crates
 No autofill, VME crate or detectors
All big machines at GSI (SIS, FRS) off (suspect pumps are on)

Ion catcher not on (I think under repair)

FEE PSU studies
Probe connected to 5V exposed power pin on FEE64 (+v) and to grounding crimp on FEE64 (-v)
No adapter board connected
Attentuation = 1:10


Fig 4: FFT when FEEs are *off* - essentially probe+scope noise [X: 5ms/div, Y: 100 mV/div, FFT: X: 500 kHz/div, Y: 10 dBm/div]
Fig 5: FFT when FEEs are *on* - notice 1.4 MHz peak in FFT, also seen on ADC waveform readout before (fig 6) [X: 5ms/div, Y: 100 mV/div, FFT: X: 500 kHz/div, Y: 10 dBm/div]

Fig 7: 500 ns/div 5V output on FEE, single FEE on the PSU [X: 500 ns/div, Y: 100 mV/div]

Note average max voltage is 5.31 V (power on) and ~ 70 mV "peak to peak" -might be from probe/scope?

Also see voltage changes with FEE power draw:

Power on  : 5.45 V (different scale to above)
SETUP ran : 5.51 V 
FADCs off : 5.86 V
ACQ Go:   : Unchanged; ASIC threshold 0xa: Unchanged

Also check situation on a fully loaded PSU (8 fees connected and powered on)

Power on:   5.29 V (fig 8)
SETUP ran:  5.36 V (fig 9)
FADCs off:  5.64 V (fig 10)

All X: 500 ns/div, Y: 100 mV/div

Both cases observe voltage rises as current draw drops (as expected for voltage drop along a cable)

Noise on 'scope seems to get slightly worse with reduced current (and higher voltage)

No sign of strong 100 kHz noise as seen in ADC traces beforehand

Todo:

- Check -6V and 7V rails
- Check 5V and noise when front-end card is added and pulser/HV connected
- Check between two FEE64 grounds 
- Check direct out of PSU vs ground to see if 1.4 MHz appears on PSU side or FEE64 side

-
11.10.22 Updates

Attachement 11 - 5V PSU on upper PSU with no FEEs attached whatsoever. No 1.4 MHz (on FFT) but clear low frequency beats from switching - presumably low/no load behaviour

Attachement 12 - 5V PSU on aida12 with 8 FEEs on PSU. Longer time base to allow lower frequencies in FFT. 1.4 MHz switching spikes visible but nothing around 100 kHz region

Attachments 13-16: 5V PSU on aida12 at 20 mV/div vertical and 1, 0.5, 2, 5 us/div horizontal respectively

12.10.22 Updates

Attachment 17: -6V PSU on aida12 with 8 FEEs on PSU. 2 us/div timebase. 20 mV/div amplitude
Attachment 18: 10 ms timebase and FFT
Average voltage: -6.21 V

Attachment 19: 7V PSU on aida12 with 8 FEEs on PSU. 2 us/div timebase. 20 mV/div amplitude
Attachment 18: 10 ms timebase and FFT
Average voltage: 7.46V

Measurement between AIDA12 ground and Reference ground/copper bar
+ve (red probe) attached to copper bar at ground point (not strong connection at present)
-ve (black probe) attached to ground crimp on aida12 (connected to cooling plate)
aida12 no adapter board connected: connections are PSU, Ethernet, HDMI and TTY only

Attachment 21: 5 us/div 100 mv/div waveform, big oscillations present. Not seen before FEEs turned on (8 FEES, 1-7+12)
Attachment 22: 10 ms/div for FFT, sharp peak at exactly 100 kHz observed...


Attachment 23: Between 5V PSU (+ve) and 19" rack (-ve) with  no FEEs connected to PSU
 See strong 100 kHz oscillations too, note that voltage isn't 5V as PSU is floating w.r.t. ground
 Looks to be common mode noise (on both 5V and Return of PSU)

Attachment 24: Same as 21 but using thick crocodile clips on probe to ground and aida12. Noise is attenuated but still present

- aida06 not connected to DSSSD ( cabling broken  - will be replaced later this week )

- LEC ( 20MeV FSR ) data ADC offset corrected 
   ADC offsets available for 489 of 512 channels and are included in the analysis - 23 strips for which no ADC offsets could be calculated ( usually because there was 
no 
pulser data ) are not included in analysis 
- LEC ( 20MeV FSR ) front-back strip energy difference cut +/- 50 channels ( c. +/- 280keV )
- HEC ( 2GeV FSR ) front-back strip energy difference cut +/-200 channels ( c. +/- 1120MeV )

- LEC ADC data: 13 < channel < 188 ( c. 73-1053keV )
- HEC ADC data: > 13 channels ( c. 73MeV )
- FEE64 hardware thresholds: LEC c. 100keV, HEC c. 200MeV 




Attachments 1 & 2 - per pixel HEC-LEC event time difference spectra - 4.096us/channel

Attachments 3 & 4 - per pixel HEC-LEC event time difference spectra - 65.536us/channel

Attachment 5 - DSSSD x-y hit pattern: HEC-LEC event time difference < 4.3s
 Majority of events associated with 'hot' p+n junction strips - few plausible decay candidate events - as expected.
 z-scale - semi-logarithmic - scattered events are single counts ( blue )
 1 count => rate ~ 1/2355s ~ 0.0004Hz, the great majority of pixels have zero counts

Attachment 6 - LEC ( decay ) and HEC ( implant ) events - 262.144us/channel ( 65536 channels = 17.2s ) 

HEC implants channels 12000-25000 = 216 counts => HEC rate ( in spill ) 63.4Hz
LEC decays channels 12000-25000 = 3865 counts => LEC rate ( in spill ) 1134.1Hz
LEC decays channels 25000-38000 = 2790 counts => LEC rate ( inter spill ) 818.7Hz

Attachment 7 - per pixel HEC-HEC event time difference spectra - 4.096us/channel

Attachment 8 - per pixel LEC-LEC event time difference spectra - 4.096us/channel

Attachment 9 - variables.dat
This is a ( Fortran ) Namelist I/O data file containing of the ADC offsets, FEE64 configuration, LEC and HEC energy difference windows 

The ADC offset channel number is calculated as

channel = channel_ident + ( module * 64 ) where module = 0-7 corresponding to AIDA FEE64s aida01-aida08

and is used as follows

ADC data = INT ( RSHIFT( ABS( 32768 - data( i ) ), 3 ) - offset( i ) + 0.5 )

where data(i) is the ADC data item for channel i, offset(i) is the ADC offset for channel i

An ADC offset of -9999 means there was no pulser data for this channel in data files R5 and R11.

 DSSSD #2 ions stopped in DSSSD #2 *and* in transmission (can establish which ions stop in DSSSD#2 from DSSSD#2 HEC energy versus DSSSD#1 HEC energy - see https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/DESPEC/672

DSSSD#1 HEC energy (20MeV/channel) versus HEC-LEC dt (1s/channel)

DSSSD#1 LEC energy (20keV/channel) versus HEC-LEC dt (1s/channel)

DSSSD#1 HEC strip # versus HEC-LEC dt (1s/channel)

- Observe # events in every third channel is lower 
- Probably reflects implant-decay correlation livetime
  For example (choosing some numbers for illustrative purposes)
  on spill: HEC livetime 75%, LEC livetime 75% (FEE64 deadtime common for HEC and LEC data) => implant decay correlation livetime 56%
  off spill: HEC live time 75%, LEC livetime 100% =>  implant decay correlation livetime 75%
- Observe 'hot' x channels 315, 318, 321, 324 - disabled for further analysis
- Do not observe any 'hot' y channels

DSSSD#1 per pixel HEC-LEC time (1s/channel): x,y,z gated to select 166Tb events

Naive (parent-daughter decay only, flat background) fit for data t=0-26s ( t1/2 = 27.1(3)s )

Fit ignores data for t=0, 3, 6, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22s to avoid bias of differences in implant-decay correlation deadtime

Suggestion of structure at c. 30s period? Does this reflect spill stucture? 10x spill cycles (30s), 9s spill off, ... etc

Sum of x,y,z gated HEC events (s2112 - see attachment 19) = 670441

Elapsed time of dataset 4h11m = 15060s
# pixels = 100 x 70 = 7000
=> # x,y,z gated HEC events per pixel = 670441/7000/15060 = 0.0064/s or mean time between x,y,z gated HEC event = 157s (estimate needs to be corrected for HEC deadtime)

Sum of implant decay correlations (s2220 - see attachment 21) t=0-150s = 273508 - flat background estimated as 150 x 500 = 75000 = 198508

=> efficiency c. 30% (presumably low due to implant-decay deadtime, LEC multiplicity, per pixel correlations and no clustering)


Summary

$64,000 question - what is the origin of the high instantaneous rate on spill  for DSSSD#1 ? On my to do list.

LEC multiplicity with/without HEC data in event

per DSSSD LEC p+n junction multiplicity versus n+n Ohmic multiplicity
per DSSSD LEC p+n junction multiplicity versus n+n Ohmic multiplicity z_hec=1 and z_hec=2


With HEC data

DSSSD#1 p+n junction multiplicity ~ 17, n+n Ohmic multiplicity ~28
DSSSD#2 p+n junction multiplicity ~ 40, n+n Ohmic multiplicity ~23

Assume 200Hz HEC events => DSSSD#1 LEC rate = 200 x ( 17 + 28 ) => 9k LEC data items cf. >100k LEC data items (attachments 8 & 13)

i.e. not due to HEC events

Please note that for the forseeable future the system function in the menu on the System Wide Checks browser page labelled as 

"Collect the Timestamp RAM values"  and "Start the Readout Timestamp error tracing" 

Are for the use of engineers only unless otherwise instructed. 

There is no harm in using them but the results may be confusing and it is not possible, at present, to detail a definitive set of instructions for their use.

An interesting find with the new sum inverter is that with the pulser at default settings the pulser peak on the n+n side is above the range of the ADC.
We have checked signals from the sum inverter and pulser and both are equal in magnitude.
We therefor determine it is over range as the charge is spread over 4 FEEs vs 12 on the p+n side.
This possibly wasn't an issue with the previous inverter if it produced a lower amplitude.

For tests going forward p+n voltage will be 2V. n+n voltage will be 0.5V - Attachment 1
Going to look into a 20dB attenuator

Seems there were issues with the lemo cables in the n+n pulser chain
