Fri Apr 9 16:45:29 2021, NH, HA. GA, GZ, OH, TD, AIDA Noise 6x
|
AIDA snout was reconnected and we saw originally a very good reduction in noise from S452 (fig 1)
Occasional bursts of increased rates were noticed, perhaps related to works in S4.

A spreadsheet of ambient conditions and water temperature in S4 for AIDA.
Will show the distance to danger points (interlock shutdown and condensation on the pipes) |
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 |

|
Remove all DSSD ribbon cable braid ground from FEE64s to check n+n ground loops
Removing all on n+n side only and test resistance to ground: 4, 6 and 8 show continuity to ground, 2 shows no connection (braid ring terminal to copper |
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) |

|
Some plots of AIDA dead time (From PAUSE/RESUME data items) against time.
The histograms are binned in intervals of 100 ms, with the blue bars corresponding to dead time in the FEE - the y-value is the percent of the 100ms interval |

The following runs are now copied to lustre
If necessary they can be removed from AIDA HDDs for space.
There are also spare HDDs that can (and should) be swapped for the current ones

Sat Apr 24 03:13:05 2021, ML, AIDA DAQ Reset
|
AIDA PC crashe completely at ~3:30am CET.
Tom was called and he Restarted the AIDA system at ~4am with Run 52.
Not sure what cause the crash but AnyDesk remote connection was suddenly lost and once reconnected all Terminal sessions were gone. |
