  578   Thu Apr 18 13:59:55 2024 TD, JBWR timestamp OK, readout time not OK
WR timestamps appear to be OK but readout times fort aida03, aida04 and aida09 appear to be out of sequence. Attachment 1-3.

Reseated HDMI cable of aida09 and performed complete powercycle. Check the MACB HDMI port (appears to be loose) - still no change aida09 not collecting WR timestamps. Attachment 4-5.

11.25 System wide checks OK except aida06 clock fail status 6 - attachments 1-13

      ADC data item stats - attachment 14

      FEE64 temperatures OK - attachment 15

      DSSSD bias & leakage currents - attachment 16
  
      DSSSD#1 OK. DSSSD#2 leakage current has increased from c.5uA to c. 11uA overnight.


11.43 per FEE64 1.8.W spectra - 20us, 200us, 2ms, 20ms FSR - attachments 17-24

      per FEE64 1.8.L spectra - attachments 25-26
          aida12 1.8.L pulser peak width 143 ch FWHM
          aida02 1.8.L pulser peak width 439 ch FWHM

      Per FEE64 rate spectra - attachment 27

12.00 Cycled DSSSD#2 bias from -100V to 0 to -100V leakage current -7.7uA but ramping slowly (c. 5nA/10s ... ?)

13.26 DSSSD#2 bias -100V leakage current -8.54uA

15.46 - Noticed that DSSSD#1 braid no longer has filter, DSSSD#1 core still does. DSSSD#2 is unfiltered on both.

      - Swap FEE64 power connectors #3 with #4, and #6 with #7, this means both n+n FEE64s are on the same paired channel

      No significant change to stats

      - Notice braid was only connected to FEEs 4 and 8, which meant beam-left bias guard ring 0v was floating. Use T to bring bias braid over to FEES 2 and 6 as well.
        Middle bias guard ring 0v is still floating

      No significant change to stats, amplitude of 100 kHz waveform in n+n waves seems attenuated though

     aida12 1.8.L pulser peak width 76 ch FWHM
     aida02 1.8.L pulser peak width 438 ch FWHM

      attachment 30 - aida05 1*H spectra - aida05 asic#1 is producing HEC data

      attachment 31 - aida05 also producing disc data

      attachments 32 & 33 merger and tape server OK - 14MB/s to disk - no data to MBS currently? 


18.36 Disconnect ribbon cabling from adaptor PCB - continue to observe HEC events from aida05 asic#1
      Disconnect test inputs from adaptor PCB - continue to observe HEC events from aida05 asic#1

      Conclude aida05 asic#1 has probably failed in operation and should be replaced. Other FEE64s are currently in CRYRING hall and measurement is in progress - ML says we should be able to access Monday.

Analysis of file GSIJan19/R1_0 (white rabbit data)

attachment 1 - overall statistics

attachment 2 - verbose output listing all data around first six identified timewarps

attachment 3 - analyser.f (old version for 48 bit timestamp)

attachment 4 - analyser.f (new version for 64 bit WR timestamp)

Observations

1) File does not commence with information type 4 & 5 data items

   DAQ/TapeServer start sequence issue??

2) DAQ RESUMEs observed for all FEE64s - DAQ PAUSEs *not* observed

3) Number of information type 4 & 5 data items for each FEE64 *not* the same

4) reported idle & elapsed times incorrect - presumably analyser.f bug

  67   Mon Oct 28 17:02:11 2019 TDAIDA @ DESPEC cable length estimates
AIDA snout length 37cm (from end of AIDA snout support assembly)

downstream scintillator (assembly depth 1cm)   36cm

downstream dsssd (#1)                          35.2cm

                 (#2)                          34.3cm

                 (#3)                          33.4cm

upstream dsssd   (#4)                          32.5cm

upstream scintillator (assembly depth 1cm)     31.7cm

Cable lengths required are therefore

downstream dsssd (#1)           35.2 - 10.5 + 2.15 + 5 + 22.5 = 54.35cm 21.4"

                 (#2)           34.3 - 10.5 + 2.15 + 5 + 16.5 = 47.45cm 18.7"

                 (#3)           33.4 - 10.5 + 2.15 + 5 + 10.5 = 40.55cm 16.0"

upstream dsssd   (#4)           32.5 - 10.5 + 2.15 + 5 + 4.5 = 33.65cm 13.2"

length of RH Kapton PCB coupler = 10.5cm (Carlo can you check please?)

turning the corner at the base of the AIDA snout support assembly 2.15+5=7.15cm
(see Peter's drawing)

distances to FEE64s 4.5, 10.5, 16.5 and 22.5cm
(see Peter's drawing)

f we use 3x DSSSDs then the cable lengths required will be as follows:

downstream dsssd (#1)           35.2 - 10.5 + 2.15 + 5 + 16.5 = 48.35cm 19.0"

                 (#2)           34.3 - 10.5 + 2.15 + 5 + 10.5 = 41.45cm 16.3"

upstream dsssd   (#3)           33.4 - 10.5 + 2.15 + 5 + 4.5 = 34.55cm 13.6"

Double peaking normally indicates periodic baseline variations with period comparable to shaping time

Quote:

aida10 (no alpha rate recorded) has a strange pulser peak - looks like double peak?

Pulser terminator checked and OK...

All others "OK" but noise quite bad (see previous entry)
