|
Yesterday we spent time essentially performing a dry run to get AIDA DAQ and bPlast into the time sorter, there were some issues with the AIDA mbs PC
x86l-119 which was related to some boot issue, it was booting to a newer version of debian while the Relay for AIDA to MBS is on an older version (scratch)
(the machine is quite old). We spent a bit of time getting the thresholds correct for each of the ASICs. In the end we just elected to have a blanket level |

Thu Aug 15 14:09:39 2019, NH, AIDA Waveforms 10x
|
Noise seemed less strong today, unsure of cause. I had re-taped snout as tape was not sticking well.

Thu Mar 21 13:59:08 2019, NH, AIDA Water
|
The AIDA water system has been repaired and not leaking.
The interlock did not light immediately, but power cable reconnected to box and now it works.

The snout endcap has been sealed with new copper tape over the red tape
Observe significant drop in leakage current on DSSD #2 down to 7 uA (about 0.5 uA above DSSD #1) as it looked when the black cloth was on

Mon Feb 1 15:19:07 2021, NH, AIDA Status Feb 2021
|
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.

Wed May 22 20:10:19 2024, NH, CC, HMA, MV, ZC, KZ, AIDA Snout Remounted 9x
|
AIDA and the Snout have been remounted in S4
I had a check of the AIDA connectors and all looked good, the kapton PCB connectors were sitting comfortably above the interstage and I saw no stressed/loose |
|
Tue Aug 30 13:48:32 2022, NH, AIDA Single Switch Configuration
|
The second switch was moved back to CARME so AIDA has been configured back to using a single switch
aida02/aida04/aida06/aida08 updated back to first switch as per https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/DESPEC/433

Wed Mar 20 15:35:10 2019, NH, AIDA Setup @ GSI
|
Currently
- 1 DSSD and Plastic is in the AIDA snout, which is not mounted
- The FEEs are offline due to a water supply issue, this will be repaired early 21/03/2019 |

Mon Feb 22 18:18:47 2021, NH, AIDA Rates/Situation 8x
|
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.

Mon Apr 8 10:23:16 2024, TD, JB, AIDA Noise optimisation 30x
|
In the morning we reinstalled FEE64s aida06, aida13, aida07. The rails of the FEE64 boards were found to be incorrect (that of the rails that were used
in CARME).
After replacing the rails on the abovementioned FEE64s we powercycled AIDA and found the following results in the histograms and statistics. |
