Elog went down around the end of the last shift, so final screenshots were not uploaded at that point.

However, AIDA appears to have contuned running smoothly in the interim (at least until 22:00).

 

Attachments 1 - 6 were taken around 16:00, 7 - 13 at around 18:00 , 14 - 18 at around 21:00.

 

Another set of sceenshots taken at around 23:00 - attachments 19 - 26.

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:

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

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)

Clock status test result: Passed 12, Failed 0

Understand status as follows
Status bit 3 : firmware PLL that creates clocks from external clock not locked
Status bit 2 : always logic '1' 
Status bit 1 : LMK3200(2) PLL and clock distribution chip not locked to external clock
Status bit 0 : LMK3200(1) PLL and clock distribution chip not locked to external clock
If all these bits are not set then the operation of the firmware is unreliable


Calibration test result: Passed 12, Failed 0

If any modules fail calibration , check the clock status and open the FADC Align and Control browser page to rerun calibration for that module

Clock status test result: Passed 12, Failed 0

Understand status as follows
Status bit 3 : firmware PLL that creates clocks from external clock not locked
Status bit 2 : always logic '1' 
Status bit 1 : LMK3200(2) PLL and clock distribution chip not locked to external clock
Status bit 0 : LMK3200(1) PLL and clock distribution chip not locked to external clock
If all these bits are not set then the operation of the firmware is unreliable
	
Calibration test result: Passed 12, Failed 0

If any modules fail calibration , check the clock status and open the FADC Align and Control browser page to rerun calibration for that module

  573   Sat Apr 13 14:04:44 2024 JB13 April Noise checks

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.
