TD, JB | WR 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

attachments 26 & 27 1.8.L spectra
aida01 peak width 112ch FWHM
aida02 peak width 485 ch FWHM
attachments 24 & 25 1.8.W spectra 20us FSR
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. |

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

TD | AIDA @ 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" |

TD | Aida10 Unusual Pulser Peak |
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)
