  518   Sun Jul 16 09:32:57 2023 TDFirefox browser proxy setting change
Firefox browser proxy setting changed to 'Auto-detect proxy settings for this network' ( Firefox -> Edit -> Settings -> Network Settings -> Settings )
  397   Tue Mar 1 08:29:19 2022 OH, NHFindings from the upgrade to centos7 from SL6

Required packages not included as default

  • csh (For running MIDAS scripts)
  • xinetd (Runs the rdate server for the FEEs)
  • Telnet (Communication with the FEEs)
  • dhcp

Configuration changes

  • FEEs uses NFS2 which is no longer enabled by default
    • Must edit config in /etc/nfs.conf to uncomment the following lines:
      • [nfsd]
      • vers2=y
  • /etc/xinetd.d/time-stream must be edited by uncommenting
    • disable        = no

  • Many services such as xinetd and dhcp will not automatically start at startup following a restart of the system

    • To enable this must enter `systemctl enable dhcpd` or `systemctl enable xinetd`

    • Likewise can check status with `systemctl status $SERVICE_NAME`

  • Also need to check the firewall status of the ethernet port connected to the FEEs.

    • Easiest solution is to set the port to be trusted

Optional extras

  • For top bar icons similar to SL6 can use the gnome extension "Frippery panel favorites"
    • Then just need to create desktop icons for each of the startup scripts within /usr/share/applications - Attachment 1
    • Can also add screenshot to this - Attachment 2
  • Gnome tweaks also allows the number of workspaces to be changed
  • Also recommend setting workspaces to span displays

  222   Thu Apr 15 12:23:22 2021 NHFast Discriminator Masks
It is possible to get good rates with the fast discriminators with a few hot channels mask in aida03 and aida10
Threshold is 0x20 = 3.2 MeV

They can be tested in beam to see performance, especially note the first setting will involve alpha emitters to check in AIDA

All FEEs:
AS01 01, AS3 07 10 13 are masked

aida03: 
AS0 12 and 14 are masked in addition

aida10:
AS1 10, 11 and AS2 05, 06 are masked in addiction

Have modifuied AIDA@DESPEC  ASIC seetings and saved using DB key 2019Dec19-16.19.51
  388   Thu Oct 21 16:18:51 2021 OHFEE and Adaptor board groundings
During investigations into the noise today by NH and OH a couple of findings were made on the grounding of the FEEs and Adaptor boards.

- The adaptor boards have no connection to the FEE ground over the ERNI connector
   - Currently we are providing one via a ground cable between the FEE Al cooling and the Lemo ground on the adaptor board
- The Al cooling plate is not electrically isolated from the copper plate on the ASIC and both are connected to the electrical ground on the FEE
    - Verified with 0 resistance between plate and HDMI ground shield
- The FEE is electrically isolated from the frame but when cabling is connected they show 0 resistance
    - With electrics disconnected but water still connected they show 200kOhm
- With the bias core going to FEE14 and the braid going to FEE8 better performance in FEE14 is obtained by disconnecting FEE8 adaptor board from the ground
    - The cost of this is the rate of FEE8 goes up to 300k
    - It is essential to have the adaptor board ground on the FEE ground but unsure why having both adaptor boards connected to their respective grounds makes one worse
- The resistance between all FEEs is not zero. Some show a 5Ohm and some show a 35Ohm resistance between each other

The adapter boards have ERNI ground pins, and the FEE64 has a grounded plane on its ERNI connector, unfortunately the orientation means the ground pins do not touch the plane on the FEE64 and hence no contact is made
Would require installing board "upside down" but then the ASIC connections would be wrong. A new adapter board layout would be necessary to correct this

Tomorrow will investigate direct connection of all FEE64s to mechanical ground via dedicated copper cable. 
Currently FEE64s get ground via Pulser(->NIM) ((weak ground)), HDMI(->NIM) ((possibly?)) and Power(->PSU) (primary grounding)
HV Bias is floating at NIM side and so does not provide ground path (intentional)
TD may have ideas to isolate pulser from AIDA FEE ground
Unsure if HDMI ground is a problem

The ground quality via the power may not be ideal over long cables of relatively thin wire. (5 * 20 AWG) and then unsure how ground of PSU connects to mechanical ground
Explicit grounding may help keep resistance between FEEs < 1 Ohm.

Will also mount a DSSD and see situation without pulser, with/without mechanical grounding and maybe with various LK jumpers.
  29   Thu Mar 21 14:10:10 2019 NHFEE Temperatures

All 12 FEEs powered up, and temperatures are OK.

Passed ASIC checks and system wide checks - now checking cabling and to mount snout.

  541   Tue Mar 19 10:17:30 2024 NHDry Run 2024 - 19th March 24
AIDA has 8 FEEs and 1 DSSSD 

Aida08 (HDMI#12) had no WR again, I moved it to a different MACB and now it gets WR
The MACB (currently with jsut HDMI#10) seems issues, check/replace the upstream HDMI and thent eh MACB (after dry run!)
 
DSSSD#1 biased to -120 V, leakage current 5.6 uA (fig 1)
 (also on Grafana)

Temps OK fig2

System Checks (fig3-5)
 Clocks OK
 aida07 fails calibration, others OK
 WR OK (aida04 0x10, seems OK)
 FPGA OK

Did "Synchronise ASIC clocks" to align ASIC clocks

(Notes for scalers: SC41L HDMI 5, SCI41R HDMI 9)

18:12 FRS is taking beam, AIDA is powered off and unbiased

  719   Mon Oct 13 15:04:53 2025 JPB, NH, GB, MPDismount AIDA and realign the cables
We have dismounted the AIDA stack and bPlast and realigned the cables so that they can fit into the adaptors.

The plan for the next couple days is the following:

- Alignment -- done
- Remount cable -- ongoing
- Fix position w/o bPlast mounted -- 
- Remount bracket for the last stage -- 
- Remount AIDA 1 & 2 and the 207Bi source with the source holder -- 
- Mount the snout and take data --

The tests we want to perform are the following:

- Energy distribution in x and y for ADC items and cluster
- The cluster size from conversion electrons
- ADC offsets with the 207Bi source after performing a pulser walkthrough
- Threshold test /w a 207Bi source - varying the threshold as while the source is in place and seeing when the 207Bi peaks are cut off. 
- Background run without the 207Bi source (after the above tests)
- Possible test with a 152Eu source as well to measure conversion electrons from Eu could also be an option but we would need to discuss how to do this since all the 152Eu source are closed. We could possibly measure the compton edge from this 
data.

  69   Wed Oct 30 11:51:08 2019 CA, TD, NHDetector biasing
12.51 - detector bias and leakage currents - detector 3 has no current
                                           - other detectors ok

13.13 - tried changing from HV3 cables to HV4 - still open circuit 

      - tried different permutations of moving HV-4 braid and core cables (high voltage to ground connections)

       (dssd3)

      (all directions defined as if looking upstream)

      - core -> bottom, braid -> left     open - circuit

      - core -> top, braid -> right       trips at 8V

      - core -> bottom, braid -> right     open - circuit

      - core -> top, braid-> left          trips at 8V

      - removed jumpers - still trips

13.36 - testing continuity of bond wires on dsssd 3208-14 & 3208-15

      - observe 20 ohm resistance on p+p and p+n bond wires 

19:41 - dsssd 1 and 2 not biasing, 3 ok.

      - changed bias configuration -> HV core 1 & 2 now on top, braid on right

      - ribbon cables for DSSSD #1 & #2 p+n junction strips down were misaligned

      - all detectors biased succesfully

HV cable configuration (looking upstream): HV-1 Core -> top-inner (FEE 1)
                        
                                           HV-2 Core -> top-middle (FEE 5)

                                           HV-3 Core -> bottom-outer (FEE 11)

                                           HV-1 Braid -> right-inner (FEE 2)

                                           HV-2 Braid -> right-middle (FEE 6)

                                           HV-3 Braid -> left-outer (FEE 12)

  639   Wed Jun 5 08:34:47 2024 JB. AM, MP, MYDetector bias tests

We are trying to bias each system on its own and in sequence biasing each other detector system to see the interdependence.
 

HV OK. TEMP OK. Attachment 1 &2.

9.43 bPlast unbiased, BB7 unbiased. Attachments 3-6 is the noise situation with only AIDA biased (bPlast was biased but turned off after AIDA was biased.)

10/16 FEEs < 20k noise. Max noise is 250k. Downstream AIDA appears to be seeing additional noise since S100.


11:21 Returning after an hour the noise has increased significantly in many channels. Scale changed to 10000 in histograms, it appears that the problem is from a couple hot channels.

11:41 'Power' cycled AIDA turned off. bPlast turned on, on its own, then BB7. bPlast doesn't seem to notice anything.

12:21 bPlast and BB7 on. AIDA ON. Rates and histograms given by attachment 7-8. More FEEs noisy, but same level as 11:21. There appears to be the same noisy channel in all of the FEEs (?) Some grounding not properly accounted for, or a wire touching somewhere (?)

13:55h: AIDA & BB7 on. Rates and histograms given in attachments 9-10. Same level as bplast & AIDA on. Same noisy channels in FEEs. According to Nic, these correspond to the end of the ribbon cables & is normal.

13:59 AIDA, bPlast & BB7 on before lunch. Same levels of noise as in previous combinations (attachments 11-12).

So it seems we can run with the three sub-systems biased simultaneously.
