When we took over from day shift, the hall was in controlled access to fix the RICH to try to get it back in the DAQ and to put the lumi monitors back in the DAQ as well, since it was discovered yesterday that the lumi signals were no longer in the DAQ.
At 16:25, the access is finished and we asked to go to Beam Permit and to move the target to BeO to check the beam position on startup. We also requested 2 uA as starting beam current.
At 16:52, we took beam on BeO for steering and spot check.
At 17:10, we moved to the 3He target, and took several short runs at 2 uA for another spot check. At the same time, the left arm magnet and detector IOCs briefly lost communication, we decided to reboot both. The IOC reboot caused us to lose the NMR lock, so we had to power-cycle the left-arm NMR.
At 17:27, we asked MCC for full current (13.5 uA) and took the first production run, 5158. Shortly into the run, we realized the HAPPEX DAQ was not running, so we ended run 5158 and started the HAPPEX DAQ before starting CODA run 5158.
As of this writing, at 22:22, we have been smoothly taking production data since 17:30, getting some nice ABUs.
As of this writing, there are six minutes remaining in the shift, and smooth data taking has continued...
