  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"

  65   Fri Aug 16 15:09:05 2019 NHAida Waves (All FEEs)

Included waves for all 12 FEEs

FEES 1, 5, 9 all show this HF noise on it, and are all located at the top of the AIDA mount.
Connections: HV from DSSD (-ve) is in FEE9
Pulser input is in FEE9 (non-inverted)

Resistance between FEE cooling plate and LEMO connector for all 3 FEEs is a few Ohms, as is resistance between copper braid on DSSD cable and the LEMO connector.

All FEEs show some noise but mainly those 3 and all four with DSSD. Will try to check DSSD connections in case something is messed up.

FEE layout for reference: (Beam's perspective)

  64   Thu Aug 15 14:09:39 2019 NHAIDA Waveforms

Noise seemed less strong today, unsure of cause. I had re-taped snout as tape was not sticking well.

Figures 1-4: Waves for all 4 FEEs connected to the DSSD
Figures 5-8: Zoomed in on region 400-600
Figures 9-10: Rates in DSSD

Note in particular fee09 has a clear noise pickup somewhere. Also appears when no DSSD voltage.
Peak distance = 6 channels = 16.6 MHz.

Fee09 is connected to HV bias core (-160 V)
However unplugging the HV cable from it shows no difference.

Must be related to something else.

Update 16:29 CEST:
Distance is more like 5 channels (20 MHz)
Fee09 picks it by far most strongly but all fees you can make it out
Additionally can see a slower waveform especially on other fees... approximately 40 channels = 2.5 MHz

Checked with multimeter that low resistance path between FEE cooling plate and ground LEMO connector
also low resistance between ribbon cable copper shield and ground LEMO connector.

Noise seems to appear even if pulser cable unplugged at pulser end or when attentuation is increased weaking pulse.

  61   Tue Aug 13 13:55:45 2019 NHNew Merger/MBS Test Runs

AIDA Finally working again so can test VP's added WAVE histogramming mode.

Fig 1. Waveforms for FEE12 ASIC 1. Sample rate = 10, Threshold = 10500
n.b. lots of "blank" wave channels for unknown reason, all low-energy channels show pulser so it's not a DSSD signal problem?

Fig 2. Pulser spectrum for FEE12 ASIC 1. (10 peaks 0.1 -> 1 V)

Fig 3. Waveforms for FEE10 ASIC 3.

n.b. WAVE channels frequently stopped updating, needed start/stop DAQ or restart WAVE readout option. Unsure if it's related to high rate/odd signals.
Might be related to issue in FEE12 too. WAVE good events statistics lower than empty FEEs.
All rates quite high, looks quite noisy at the moment.

Fig 4. Pulser of FEE10 ASIC 3.

Note that FEE10.3 has poor peaks, in WAVE we see:
Some normal looking pulses which are merely noiser than other channels.
Some pulses which look very odd (baseline really low, etc).

Will recheck ground for noise issues, but the huge peaks are confusing to me. (3.5.W, etc)

Quote:

New merger has been worked on by VP which fixes the timewarp issues and MBS integration.

Currently no WAVE capture is supported, VP will re-add WAVE histogramming for startup testing.

The other 6 FEEs were powered on one at a time to check no issues. None found.
All 12 FEEs plugged back into the PSU.

Note: The FEE temperatures reported on Friday were before a Reset/Setup of the DAQ, which means the ASICs run very fast and the hence run hotter.
Reset/Setup shows more sustainable temps (attached)

These temps are similar to those observed in Sep 2018 but warmer by ~4 C than those observed Dec-Jan and April.

  59   Fri Aug 9 12:33:14 2019 NHAida Test 9/8/19 - FEES 1-6

The water issue has been resolved - merely incorrect temperature guages (replaced). Water is 20 C as required.

S4 conditions at 13:12 CEST

26.5 C / 47.2 % / Td = 14.3 C

Based on email by TD doing the following procedure to  ensure FEEs are OK after water issue

1) disconnect the power cables of *all* FEE64s at the FEE64 PSUs
2) re-connect power cable, power-up and check/test the FEE64s
  *one at a time* until stable operatinmg temperature is achieved
... say 30mins?

13:34 CEST: All be FEE1 unplugged. Powering on!

Vertex temp read slightly warm (67 C) so powered off. Waiting for a while for water to circulate since off for a while...

15:01 CEST: FEE1 Powered on again, Vertex reading 67 C again but it's stable and slowly going down. Watching and seeing but I think it's OK.
15:35 CEST: FEE1 has been stable around 67 C all the time. Other temps fine. Presuming this isn't a major concern. (Perhaps related to reasonably warm/humid conditions?)

15:47 CEST: FEE2 Powered on.
16:02 CEST: Temperature stable, not exceeded 60 C.

16:07 CEST: FEE3 Powered On.
16:17 CEST: Temperature stable, peaked at 58.44 C

16:21 CEST: FEE4 Powered On.
16:40 CEST: Both FPGA and ASIC reading warm: 65.5 C and 58 C. Seeming to not be rising anymore.

16:41 CEST: FEE5 Powered On.
16:53 CEST: Temperature stable, at 64 C

16:56 CEST: FEE6 Powered On.
17:12 CEST: FPGA temp is ok but ASIC warm. Tmax ASIC = 56.88, FPGA = 55.38, PSU = 27.44

17:15 Turning FEEs and Water off for the weekend
Will test 7-12 on Monday.
Might be cooler in S4.

Cooling seems to be working but temps hotter than before.

 

  58   Mon Aug 5 12:57:48 2019 NHS4 Conditions

Temp: 26 C
Humidity: 50%
Dew Point: ~15 C

There are two temperature dials outside S4, one shows exactly 20 C and one shows nearer 16 C.

Trying to clarify this discrepancy as 16 C is too cold at the moment.

In contact with developer of cooling system to confirm apparent 16 C after the heat exchanger

Today's conditions:

Temp: 26.9 C
Humidity: 48.7%
Dewpoint 15.2 C

  57   Wed Jul 10 10:46:05 2019 NHAIDA/Water 10.07.2019

S4 Conditions:

25.2 C, 35.3% RH, Td = 8.8 C

Water temperature: 20 C

-

Rotating the dewpoint sensor on the pipe seems to have made it switch over to solid red = humidity OK.
Waiting confirmation to see if we should check a FEE (as per PJCS suggestion) before water is turned back on.
Will check the outside copper after lunch.

13:04 : Copper seems warm and dry, humidity sensor still solid red.

  56   Mon Jul 8 16:02:52 2019 NH, PJCSAida 28/6/2019 - WATER OFF

It occurs to to wonder if there is now water inside the modules. If the metal of the cooling plates is damp on the outside then it is safe to assume there is water on the inside too . Can I suggest that one  of the modules is dismounted, disassembled and checked?

Quote:

The humidity sensor hasn't reported humdities under 90% yet. In order to try and help dry the pipes and turn AIDA the water has been turned off the weekend.
Sunday temperatures might reach 40 C which means it may struggle anyway.

Will consider trying to get a temperature/humidity monitor for S4 to check if the environment is fine too.

 

  55   Mon Jul 1 09:42:16 2019 NHAIDA - 01/07/2019

Water is still off.

Checked dewpoint sensor still flashing red light (indicating an error). Pipes warmed. Not what I expected. Possible fault?

I checked S4's ambient temp/humidity with a home-brought sensor: Reports 27 C/50% RH (Dew Point = 16 C)
Water temperature is set to exactly 20 C (there's a second dial showing ~18 C but I am unsure if that's the same water supply, I will ask)

Checking the dewpoint PSU with a multimeter shows a voltage of 16 V.
The PSU itself is rated for 12 V output, and the humidity sensor expects 24 V.
Regardless of which voltage 16 V seems incorrect. Might be causing issues.

Humidity is a bit lower now (4pm) the sensor has been in all day, 28 C/35% RH (Dew Point = 11 C) which isn't an issue.

Water is still off until I am sure what to do, or until the dewpoint sensor stops complaining.

  53   Tue Jun 4 09:19:10 2019 NHAIDA 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 to verify the temperature with GSI technical staff

  50   Fri Apr 12 15:15:33 2019 NHReport - 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.

(NB. The Day/time of the logs is wrong as the pi does not have the correct time - pis dont have a RTC or Internet access so the time isn't corrected)

Temperature of the modules is fine.

Aida is currently powered off (and I am away from GSI)

Quote:

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"

On the TTY console (PUTTY) it returns: do_GetState returned z=0 and 8

Resetting the DAQ in question via MIDAS works (Putty logs of the stages shown) and then the merger resumes without trouble.

  48   Wed Apr 10 14:53:50 2019 NHReport - FEE stops sending data

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"

On the TTY console (PUTTY) it returns: do_GetState returned z=0 and 8

Resetting the DAQ in question via MIDAS works (Putty logs of the stages shown) and then the merger resumes without trouble.

  47   Wed Apr 10 12:33:58 2019 NH VPAIDA 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)

Tested yesterday and Merger no longer reported major timestamp issues
n.b. aida11 and aida12 didn't update properly until today, this may have caused a few.

MBS relay is currently not functioning (data is confusing) but this is under investigation by VP ASAP.
