00:23 206Hg setting - No beam in AIDA yet
AIDA not writing to file
|
Fri Mar 5 22:53:05 2021, OH, Thursday 5th of March
|
There has been no beam for much of the day. It was lost at 13:00 and not regained until 22:00 German time.
At some point during the day the White Rabbit timestamp cable was unplugged from AIDA. This caused it lose correlation with the rest of the system.
At first a reset and setup was performed to try and regain correlation but that did not prove successful.

Thu Mar 4 11:16:13 2021, OH, Further cases of possible database issues 
|
During testing for the S452 experiment yesterday we were running through the steps of a restart.
The FEEs were not powercycled at this stage but the MIDAS server was restarted.

|
The ground cable (LEMO00) in aida07 was disconnected, it has been reinserted and the waveforms now look good.
(All data below taken with thresholds 0xA for all)
|
Sat Feb 27 12:47:57 2021, NH, AIDA Rates/Situation 10x
|
Updated figures as of 27 Feb 2021 - S4 is now closed for experiments but may open on Wednesday.
Snout has been grounded and all FEEs are seemingly grounded properly.

A background run has been started to check the AIDA channels.
It is in /TapeData/BGFEB21

01.02.2021 - Four new sets of PSU, HDMI & Ethernet cables were ran from the DESPEC rack to the AIDA frame, in preparation for 4 new FEE64s.
A new 7 port USB hub has also been placed for the last few serial connections.

Tue Nov 24 13:10:42 2020, NH, Waveforms with frame grounded   
|
AIDA Frame is now grounded to platform (will add photo later)
Waveforms improved from April (c.f. https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/DESPEC/125) but comparison not truly fair (other systems may be offline now) |
Tue Oct 6 15:48:06 2020, NH, nnrpi kernel update
|
FYI:
The SD card on nnrpi2 was full again causing issues, the log files in /var/log (kern.log & messages) were *huge* and filled with the same error many times |
Tue Jul 7 08:50:27 2020, NH, nnrpi2 does not boot
|
MIDAS was not working properly on nnrpi2 - power cycled. Now system does not boot properly, it gets stuck trying to login claiming "PAM critical error"
- probable file system corruption?
Will investigate if SD card can be checked and repaired |
Tue Jul 7 08:04:57 2020, NH, Power failure in Messhuette
|
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.
|
Wed Mar 18 18:02:37 2020, PJCS, New Firmware loaded in all FEE64s

Loaded new frimware into all 12 FEE64s in the system. IWR_Dec19_4.bin
Booted ok after power-cycle.
RESET/SETUP/GO all fine. |
