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 |

p+n peak widths
averact around 100 channels
n+n around 1000 at 0xa threshold

Wed Mar 2 16:00:01 2022, OH, NH, Noise tests - 2nd March
|
An interesting find with the new sum inverter is that with the pulser at default settings the pulser peak on the n+n side is above the range of the ADC.
We have checked signals from the sum inverter and pulser and both are equal in magnitude.
We therefor determine it is over range as the charge is spread over 4 FEEs vs 12 on the p+n side.

DAQ was found yesterday with none of the FEEs reporting any good events on any FEE - attachment 1
Temperature menu is still responsive and all FEEs report a temperature
Looking at the white rabbit timestamps aida09 has a gibberish timestamp - attachment 2

Wed Feb 16 10:32:52 2022, PJCS, AIDA software changes and some suggestions
|
The Pi console monitor program now outputs a full date/time to file for each line of report.
The System Wide Checks has been upgraded to include a check of the PLL lock monitor counters. A baseline is taken when the software starts, or
at the users command, then subsequent operation of the command compares the current counter value with the baseline. There are two PLLs on the pcb, LMK3200, |

Plan for the day was to connect a mechanical ground to the FEEs connected to DSSD0 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 and 12
This was done by connecting thick copper cable to the mechanical ground wires on the AIDA frame (These ground wires are connected to the platform ground |

After tests in the Daresbury T9 system.
Disabling the waveform ADCs in an FEE64 which is running with the FPGA over temperature will drop the FPGA temperature by 10 degrees.
To disable the ADCs open the Local Control browser window and set the ADC Control register , @2, to 0xFF |

After both powercycles and telnet reboots we were still seeing 0 in the statistics but did note that the counter was > 0
The last check we did was a restart of the merger server. This solved the issue.

AIDA not writing to file

Fri Mar 5 22:53:05 2021, OH, Thursday 5th of March
|
There has been no beam for much of the day. It was lost at 13:00 and not regained until 22:00 German time.
At some point during the day the White Rabbit timestamp cable was unplugged from AIDA. This caused it lose correlation with the rest of the system.
At first a reset and setup was performed to try and regain correlation but that did not prove successful.

For MBS integration AIDA forwards its data to an MBS Foreign Data Receiver (FDR), currently the PC assigned for this task is x86l-94.
To start the MBS system do the following:

Tue Nov 12 14:10:18 2019, NH, OH, CA, Aida10 Unusual Pulser Peak
|
aida10 (no alpha rate recorded) has a strange pulser peak - looks like double peak?
Pulser terminator checked and OK...
All others "OK" but noise quite bad (see previous entry) |
|
Wed Nov 13 01:54:00 2019, TD, Aida10 Unusual Pulser Peak
|
Double peaking normally indicates periodic baseline variations with period comparable to shaping time

Mon Nov 4 13:17:12 2019, NH, Report: aida10 database corruption
|
Often aida10 database seems to get corrupted (ASIC values are all 0xad)
Unsure why it's only aida10, might be related to weird alpha rate behaviour at the moment.
|
|
Tue Nov 5 10:02:45 2019, NH PJCS, Report: aida10 database corruption
|
This looks like the Options not the ASIC data. That will be in the CONTENTS file of the FEE64 named directory within the dated EXPERIMENT directory.
Looks like the latest is at /MIDAS/DB/EXPERIMENTS/AIDA/2019Oct31-13.24.23/aida10 ?
A quick look at this file and it looks normal , not all 0xad ? |
|
Tue Nov 5 10:32:21 2019, NH PJCS, Report: aida10 database corruption
|
Hi, see the attached files in the original comment. I think the BACKUPCorrupt is quite old now.
The Options data gets corrupted and for example the ASIC folder gets set to 'undefined' which I think is why the ASIC data loads incorrectly.
|
|
Tue Nov 5 11:15:41 2019, NH PJCS, Report: aida10 database corruption
|
If ypou now check the actual values in the aida10 Options screen are the correct ?
It can happen that corruptions once loaded are propagated when Options are generally saved.
Looking at the dates the files were modified does that make sense to you. It doesn't look as if the corrupted database was changed except |
|
Mon Nov 4 08:48:18 2019, NH, Alpha Status 04.11.2019
|
Alpha run has been running over the weekend. Stats looking positive with notable exception that aida10 is not sending much data. Will attempt a powercycle.
Temperatures and Leakage Currents very good to excellent
Noted that the slow rate of aida10 seems to be slowing down the rate data is sent to tape - perhaps being buffered until an ADC event arrives? |

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?

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.
