16.53 aida04 stops producing data

      DAQ STOP fails for aida04
      Restart Merger to enable aida04 to complete DAQ STOP

      aida04 rebooted and DAQ restarted OK

All looks good.

We have observed a number of AIDA FEE64s stop producing data.

Everything is OK now.

Screenshots attached.

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

It is now back in the DAQ.

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

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

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

Checks 08:00-08:30

Screenshots are attached and everything looks OK.

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

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

09.14 aida04 stopped producing data - system console output - attachment 1

It is not clear (to me at least) whether the cause is radiation-induced single event upsets or
the start/stop of LN2 fills.

Nor is it clear why the FEE64 stops
- WR timestamp error (data link to Merger blocks)
- AIDAExecV10 fails
- ?

To Do

- S4 currently closed/controlled access for FRS startup

If we have access to S4 tomorrow

- switch test - to test + ( not critical )
- test AIDA interlock 
- further alpha background?

WR timestamps appear to be OK but readout times fort aida03, aida04 and aida09 appear to be out of sequence. Attachment 1-3.

Reseated HDMI cable of aida09 and performed complete powercycle. Check the MACB HDMI port (appears to be loose) - still no change aida09 not collecting WR timestamps. Attachment 4-5.
