10:21

Aida05 was zero not reading had to call Nic to fix it.

10:34

Now, Aida05 is running well.

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

12:00 Checks:

Everything appears to be going smoothly, and I took screenshot of them.

 

12:28, Aida02 showed as not reading , had to email Nic to fix it.

12:30, it resumed reading and returned to normal operation.

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

14:00 Checks:

Everything is going well , and I have captured screenshots of each one.

01:02

Aida04 was zero not reading had to call Tom to fix it.

02:00 checked all good and attached.

Its been running good after that till 7:30 again the same problem happened and Tom fixed it.

      DSSSD bias & leakage current - attachment 28

      analysis of data file R20_33 - attachment 29
      max deadtime 18% (aida08)
      no timewarps
      HEC data item rate 4.1kHz (c. 2.4x previous FRS setting)

      Correcting for spill cycle => 5.9kHz in spill (online analysis shows no HEC events observed outside spill)
      assume typical HEC event multiplicity = 3 => implant rate ~ 2.0kHz in spill or 6800 implants per spill
      SC42 L/R currently report c. 4.5kHz

      Note that we currently see a higher fraction of events in DSSSD#2 cf. previous setting so multiplicity assumption may be low
      If we assume multipicity = 6 => implant rate ~ 1.0kHz in spill or 3200 implants per spill

      we are probably somewhere in between

Entry  Tue Apr 23 11:09:00 2024, PP, 12:00 checks 8x

Everything is OK now.

Screenshots attached.

Entry  Tue Apr 23 10:52:39 2024, PP, Aida02 down and back 

We lost aida02 at about 11:25 again. Nick fixed it about 11:50.

It is now back in the DAQ.

Entry  Tue Apr 23 10:10:31 2024, PP, aida02 is back 

Nick rebooted AIDA and aida02 came back at around 10:55.

AIDA was out of the DAQ from about 10:30 until 10:55

Entry  Tue Apr 23 09:21:01 2024, PP, 10:20 checks - aida02 is down 8x

Aida02 is down. Contacted Nick.

The rest looks stable, see screenshots.

10:53 CEST (NH): Rebooted aida02 via telnet
Resync ASIC clocks
All system wide checks look ok
ASIC threshold => 0x14

Go > All 16 writing to merger, looks OK

 

aida02 went down again 11:35 CEST
Rebooted with same procedure and is back again

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)
