14:50 Checks

Leakage current  is 20.021 and HV status is Max Voltages ! Is it normal ? - attachments 1

It is quite warm at GSI today and this may be a temperature effect. Hopefully will go down latter in the day (Marc). Any way let's kep an eye it. The current threshold is set to 30uA.

18:15 Checks

Everything appears to be going smoothly 

Grafana - DSSSD bias  and leakage current - attachments 2 and 3

FEE64 temperatures  - It appears okay, nothing strange , attachment 4

ADC data item stats - attachment 5

Per FEE64 Rate spectra - attachment 6

 ucesb - attachment 7

Merger Link Data Rates  - attachment 8

 

18:16

The temperature for aida07 gave us No response - attachment 9 , I had emailed Tom to fix.

18:20  it came back to work normally

............................

20:00 Checks

Nothing new to report. All is well.

20:33 Aida02 showed as not reading - attachment 10

20:34 it resumed reading and returned to normal operation.

21:08 Aida02 was  not reading - attachment 11 , had to emailed Tom to fix it .

The shift crew have restarted ucesb and AIDA  is now showing OK - attachment 12

so Tom guess the problem really was at their end . They may still have a problem with the FRS DAQ.

ADC data item stats and Merger etc  appear to be going smoothly - attachments 13 and 14

...........................................

22:00 Checks

Still running smoothly.

DSSD bias and  leakage current - ok

FEE64 temperatures - ok

Per FEE64 Rate spectra - ok

ADC data item stats - ok

Ucesb - ok

.................................

23:00 Checks

 Nothing new to report. Everything is going well , and I have captured screenshots of each one

Leakage currents dropped a bit See attachment 15

.............................

23:50 Checks

All seems smooth.

This appeared in the system log:

Apr 26 16:30:51 aidas-gsi smartd[1076]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors

Apr 26 16:30:56 aidas-gsi smartd[1076]: Device: /dev/sdd [SAT], 257 Offline uncorrectable sectors

These messages seem to appear sporadically.

18:10 Link 3 is giving rates of zero (see attachment 3). Is this normal?

18:15 daq error on ucesb (attachment 4). Zero rate through event builder. Emailed Nic & can see he's now on Zoom.

aida07 rebooted itself, but WR out of sequence still
manually reboot aida07, still out of sequence
do full powercycle of aida... now all FEEs are in sequence again. Resume running to disk and alert DESPEC shifters

Thanks Nic!

22:14 AIDA DSSD 2 HV status = 99 on grafana (attachment 6)

22:43 Noticed that aida02 ASIC temperature reading is now 0.00 instead of 511(!) that it was previously - see attachment 2 in #608. It was similarly high earlier in this shift too.

 

  645   Sun Jun 9 16:38:30 2024 Norah , Muneerah, JB16:0-00:00 9 June 2024

AIDA02 and AIDA06 gave zero attachment 1. After connecting with Tom to fix it, now it works.

17:00

DSSSD bias & leakage current - attachment 2

FEE64 temperatures OK - attachment 3

Statistics  attachment 4

 

17:39

Most of AIDA0 gave zero. I followed the instructions that Tom gave me to fix it, and now they work.

23:19 Flange removed. Starting to take beam.

First checks of shift. All looks ok.

Screenshot of HV, temps, rates, Merger attached. Attachments 1-4.

Screenshots of all spectrum Layout IDs taken before zeroing at 16.35. (Attachments 5-12)

 

checks at 16.00 - merger has crashed - aida01 dropped out  - Tom tried to stop DAQ but got an error. Restart servers restarted at 16.09 

Reset 01, restarted DAQ, and restarted as R16.

16.15 Data seems to be collected but spectra not being incremented in aida01. Timestamps look to be out of sync. Tom restarting aida01 again.

Did not fix, power cycle all FEEs - all spectra reset. aida3,6,11,12,14,15 wont calibrate adcs so wont have waveforms

RUN17 STARTED 16.51|

 HV, temps, rates, Merger looks ok 17.00. Plots saved as attachments 13-16.

 

20.47, all looks ok - see attachment 17-20. Rates are higher in attachment 20 than in attachment 2 from start of shift

21.59 aida02 (link aida1) stopped taking data and dropped out of the merger (see attachment 21). Came back to life after about 15 miutes. Tom logged in remotely to investigate. Seems to be ok. see attachment 22 for timestamps

22.48 - things apear ok. (Attachments 23-26)

15:04 bPlast was left powered over night. Powering up to check noise conditions - also to check shifting of Germanium baseline (no change observed).

          TEMP OK.

          Noise condition the same as yesterday when platform was moved in. Noise in aida01 and aida09 due to single channel failures (?). Attachments 1-3.

          9/16 <20kHz, max 176k

15:30 Changed drainwires ground from 4V (Ch3) -> 29.5V (Ch4) out on R&SMP4040 PSU. Attachments 4-5.

          No change in noise observed.

          9/16 <20kHz, max 187k

15:49 Connected PN 300 ground to R&SMP4040 4V (Ch3) output. Noise decreased in many channels aida09 does not have a noisy channel anymore (??). Attachments 6-7.

          10/16 <20kHz, max 158k.

 

Current bPlast grounding scheme in attachments 8-9.

15:00 Platform in, biasing detector. Temp OK Attachment 1. test - Pulser OFF.

           Rates somewhat worse than last night - probable contact on grounding of snout. Attachment 3.

           Histograms okay, some FEE64s now have hot channels. Attachment 2.

           9/16 aidas < 20kHz - max rate 162k

 

18:06 - powering down detector for the weekend. Overall system is fine, some channels (hot channels) definitely picked up noise, but condition is overall stable over three hours. See atachments 4-5.

 

TO-DO (kicking the can down the road):

- Some work to do on noise, but we might have to accept the situation as it currently is.

- Implement bPlast trigger scheme. Set bPlast thresholds, get bPlast current draw undercontrol - observe AIDA noise.

- Try different grounding configuration:

    - Grounding drain wires to frame. Observe AIDA conditions.

    - Reconnect 4V out to R&SRMP4040 common ground with PN 300 PSU as well. Observe AIDA conditions.

 

  571   Thu Apr 11 08:27:21 2024 JB, TD11 April noise tests
TO-DO for 11.04.2024

- Try bringing bPlast drain wire ground back to the PSU ground for PN 300 and R&SRMP4040.

- Recheck the downstream detector bias and ground scheme.

9:27 Restarted AIDA and hit go at 9:54. Situation the same as it was in the evening of 10.04.2024. 10 out of 16 FEE64s in good condition. Waveforms of aida16,

        TEMP OK - HV OK. See attachments 1-6.

 

10:20 We grounded the output of the R&SRMP4040 to to the drain wire ground of the bPlast ribbon cables and the output of the PN 300 PSU that is powering the booster boards. Results given by attachments 7 -11. We only saw a marginal improvement in the overall noise condition.

10:32 We connected the ground of the frame to the drain wire ground, that is also mutually connected to the ground of the R&SRMP4040 output ground and PN 300 output ground. Results given by attachments ???. We did not see any improvement in the overal noise condition.

17.15 bPlas ON -

        Current bPlast ground configuration:

         bPlas current ground configuration - drainwires of all ribbon cables excluding short side (cont. with snout) are grounded back to the bPlast R&SRMP4040 PSU, on the 29 V output. 4 V PSU to booster boards are floating, output of PN 300 is grounded to the PSU. The mesytec PSU, that also powers bPlast SiPMs at

         29V is not grounded to anything but the frame. Snout is currently light tight, I suspect internal radiation from FATIMA.

         It is noted that bPlast current draw fluctuated significantly (+/- 300 mV) as a result of thresholds set to the detector. I tried to set the thresholds HIGH to stabilise the bPlast detector as the power draw is fluctuating greatly.         

          AIDA noise very good

            12x < 20k, max 83k (aida04)

To Do list

- separate 29V (low current) and 4V (high current) return paths/ground refs

- The mesytec PSU that powers the bPlast detector  is running to frame, it might be an idea to ground ribbon c

Just another manic magic Monday, ....

Taking over Betool's AIDA shift. All is good.

This shift's first hour has been eventless. Temperatures, Rates, bias, all look good.

01:15: AIDA04 is down again. DAQ shift crew informed.

14:52 Attachment 1 shows low energy spectra. AIDA06 shows strange baseline, possible double-hit?

15:06 Systems checks fine.
      Master clock failed (no master clock)
      all checks passed
      memory checks all around 38k as normal

      Attachment 2: Temperature check all normal except aida01 virtex temp slightly over 65 degrees

      Attachment 3: Good event stats seem normal except downstream SSD seems to be high around 200k

      Attachment 4: leakage currents seem normal at expected values

15:16 Merger working for all FEEs
      tape server is on but no storage
      data rate is around 25 MB per second (high but consistent with the high stats of downstream SSD)

ASIC settings file 2019Dec19-16.19.51 but some others are on 2019Oct31-13.24.23
  Did not seem completely reproducible?
  We carefully checked all the individual FEE and ASIC settings, and they are all the same (except shaping reference), with NO 0xad

Now we made sure they are all using 2019Dec19-16.19.51 (which we had saved first on a good one)


19:15 Update

There is a safety interlock box in S4 to monitor humidity, dew point, temperature, etc for safety.  
It had a loose solder connection, and when someone moved it out of the way, the interlock was tripped.
After some debugging, the interlock is now in a more stable condition, but a lot of power was cut from AIDA systems

One unusual thing was that one of the RPi systems got a full /var/messages (or similar) and ate all the available disk space 
  This meant that ssh -X (to, e.g., activate putty) could not work, giving a permission denial error (ssh connection was allowed, but not X11 forwarding)

Now we have brought back up the AIDA systems and should run through the checks

Most system checks look good (except some calibration errors)

Temps were running high until we reloaded the ASIC settings, then the temperatures began to cool

Bias and leak currents attached as #10

Temps as #11

Stats as #12

19:50 Started writing to disk so that we can do an implantation depth profile. Will analyse near online using AIDASort.

21:45 Stopped writing to file -> Runs where AIDA thickness were investigated corresponds to R3_62 to R3_72
      A rough method using the rates histogram was used to judge roughly when depositing in each histogram - see attachment 12 (Stopping in 2)
      Can match to the FRS files to work out degrader thickness with timestamps (File stopped at Mon 09 Mar 2020 09:44:51 PM CET
