 Tue Jun 4 09:19:10 2019, NH, AIDA Interlock
|
Currently AIDA's interlock is off (no lights) and hence AIDA cannot be powered on. Under investigation - power supply has been replugged but seems
ok.
Update: It seems the interlock is correctly stopping AIDA from being powered on due to high humidity on the cooling lines. Am currently trying |
Mon May 20 13:51:45 2019, NH, HowTo Verify WR Times 
|
The latest version of MIDAS has a new page to check the WR timestamp of each FEE.
In AIDA Hardware control click: GSI White Rabbit Control
In expert options click: Collect all Timestamps |

Wed Apr 10 14:53:50 2019, NH, Report - FEE stops sending data 6x
|
it seems a FEE somtimes enters a confusing state and stops sending data
the current merger requires all FEEs to be active and so this stops the entire system from proceeding.
On MIDAS the page reports the module is "undefined" |
 Fri Apr 12 15:15:33 2019, NH, Report - FEE Kernel Panics (Update on 48)
|
Update on issue #48 - the "confusing state" is that the FEE has restarted and hence is undefined again.
An attached TTY log from the pi shows that the module is kernel panicking.
I have seen a couple of FEEs panic with the same error now. |

Wed Apr 10 12:33:58 2019, NH VP, AIDA Firmware Update
|
All AIDA modules have been updated to a new firmware 0xd330701 which should fix the merger issues.
A new GSI WR timestamp page has been added to MIDAS - the SYNC rollover is suggested to be 0xe for now.
(VP is working on lowering the rate of WR SYNC infowords) |

Wed Apr 3 15:24:06 2019, CA, TD, report - low inquire save state
|
| On Save/Restore Module Settings Tab - "inquire save state" returns an error. See attachment 1. |

Wed Apr 3 13:29:20 2019, CA, CB, TD, report - high DAQ stall
|
aida10 runs very fast for a period, then stops.
Have to restart Merger and TapeServer to get it running again.

Fig1: FEE temperatures from 26.03.2019 all OK
AIDA has been on today and merger setting fixed (see previous ELOG entry https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/DESPEC/36)
Still diagnosing issues with MBS (figure 2) but local data acquisition should be functional. |

Tue Mar 26 14:58:09 2019, NH, VP, How to reset merger
|
If the merger doesn't show "xfer Links => Merger" at the top, it is probably the merger setting has been corrupted somehow. This is
how to reset it
If you go to the web page from which you started the Merge and TapeServer |

Mon Mar 25 14:44:33 2019, NH, Merger issues
|
Plastic electronics have now been installed.
Water is not leaking still.
FEE64s powered on at 15:00 to test MBS connection (fig1: temperatures) |

Fri Mar 22 15:44:20 2019, NH, End of 22.03.2019
|
End of the day - Detector unbiased and FEE64s turned off for the weekend as they won't be monitored.
Water will remain on. |

Extra FEE information:
HV braid (0 V) goes into FEE10 (beam left) with LK1 jumper
HV core (-160 V) goes into FEE09 (top) |

|
Pulser widths of AIDA modules, resolution is fairly typical. AIDA09 still noisier than other DSSD channels.
