Tom thinks everything appears ok with AIDA

Have converted WR timestamp to data/time - see attachment 40

At the ~second timescale AIDA WR timestamp looks OK, i.e. no gross errors. Will need to check correlations with other detector sub-systems to confirm WR on the ~us time timescale.. 

However, ~10us offset reported by DESPEC online crew is correct (AIDA timestamps data at a later point in the signal processing cycle than other detector sub-systems). Have suggested online crew contact Nic or Calum to check what the AIDA WR timediff spectra should look like.

  660   Thu Jun 13 21:06:44 2024 Robert Page16:00 to 00:00 shift on 13/6/2024

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.

2:30am: AIDA02 FEE stopped working. DESPEC main DAQ was alerted and remobe AIDA from timestitcher while I was restarting AIDA DAQ.

2:45am: AIDA02  FEE is back and AIDA has been added to the timestitcher again in the main DAQ.

The AIDA runs at the time of the crash to look at are R7_348, 349.

All spectra were zeroed at this time and checked.

6:30 the nearline/offline analysis team reported possible noise issue in DSSD#2 and asked if the threshold were changed at any point. I can't find any mention of changes in the elog. 
I've not done a setup of the all DAQ when AIDA02 fee crashes earlier this morning. I just did a setup of the merger. Thus I don't think the threshold have changed when I stopeed and restarted the DAQ.
I can see that currently slow comparator threshod are set to 0xa for most of the DSSD2 fees except for AIDA06 which is set to 0xf. I'm not sure this is the thershold we would need to increase. Something to check during the next shift.

In the UCESB window I can see that the number of decay in DSSD2 is double the number of decay in DSSD1 while the number of implant is similar. Looking at other shift it looks that this was alsready the case in prvious shifts.

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

  644   Sun Jun 9 13:32:48 2024 TD[How To] Recover DAQ when one FEE64 stops sending data - short(er) version
1) Select 'No Storage' [workspace 3, display 1, browser tab 'TapeServer']
    If already in 'No Storage' mode please ignore this step

2) STOP DAQ [workspace 2, display 1, browser tab 'Run Control']
   all FEE64s should change status from 'going' to 'stopped' *except* whichever FEE64(s) have a problem - typically their status is 'going' or 'error'

3) Restart Merger by selecting the Merger icon [workspace 3, display 2]
    terminal window showing the startup will popup

4) Setup Merger by selecting 'SETUP' [workspace 3, display 1, browser tab 'NewMerger Control']

5) Start Merger by selecting 'GO' [workspace 3, display 1, browser tab 'NewMerger Control']
     all data links will be inactive (red)

6) Start DAQ by selecting 'GO' [workspace 2, display 1, browser tab 'Run Control']
     check that DAQ is *actually* going - if not repeat 'GO'

7) Check data is being transferred to Merger and TapeServer

    Select 'Reload' [workspace 3, display 1, browser tab 'NewMerger Control']
     you should see a non-zero 'current merged data rate' and all links should show as green at least some of the time (requires observation over several reloads)

    Select 'Reload' [workspace 3, display 1, browser tab 'TapeServer']
     you should see 'Blocks written' and 'kb written' counters increase

8) Check AIDA data is being forwarded from the TapeServer to MBS [workspace 3, display 2, command terminal]

9) Unselect 'No Storage' [workspace 3, display 1, browser tab 'TapeServer']
    If already in 'No Storage' mode at the start of this procedure please ignore this step


   If you continue to have problems, please request expert assistance.
