    ===================================================================

    EVENTS

    00:00 Shift has started smoothly. We are taking production data
    on 3He target. Target polarization at the moment is 63.1%
    The runs that are currently running are 3029/21907.
    There is still a problem with the HRS-R Q1 magnet. The
    alarm sign still turns on from time to time.

    00:24 Started new HAPPEX Run #31454.

    00:30 Half wave plate was inserted (now it is IN) between
    runs #3030(OUT) and #3031(IN).

    01:00 I have stated new Compton run #17112. Before I was able
    to do that I had to reset Coda, because previous run did
    not end properly. Coda is now running but Compton is not
    working. There is no heart beat etc. Alexandre knows about
    this problem and he told me, that he needs to reboot few
    things (when there will be some time with no beam) before
    Compton could work again.

    01:51 I noticed that HAPPEX is not working and that LUMI
    histograms are empty. This has happened during run
    #3033/#21911. Need to wait until these two runs end before
    we can try to fix it.

    02:20 Made NMR frequency sweep. New polarization is 61.98%


    02:21 After run #3033 ended I tried to end HAPPEX run #31454,
    but Coda reported that run did not end properly. I had
    reset Coda,configured it again and started new run (#31455).
    It did not help. Coda was still not counting. After that I
    checked ROCs.They all seem to be responding. In spite of
    that I rebooted ROC 26. Then I reset coda, configured it and
    started new run (#31456). Still nothing. After that I rebooted
    ROCs 26, 23 and also TS1 and started Coda again (#31457).
    Because this also did not help I decided to close all the
    windows and start everything from scratch. I followed the
    instructions on Wiki. When Coda was up again and all ROCs
    connected through telnet, I rebooted all ROCs(23,26,28)
    and TS1 again. After successful reboot I configured coda again
    and started new run #31458. Now Happex seems to be working.


    03:14 When I came to start new Compton run I relaized that Coda
    counted only 5 events. Since we know that Compton is not
    woking I decided just to start a new run. When I tried to
    end previous run it did not nd properly. I had to reset
    coda, reconfigure it and start a new run. At that point I
    got warning messages:

    EB0,1,2,5,6 did not reported status for xx seconds.

    and after a few secconds a error message appeared:

    Prestart failed!

    I killed coda and used "coda reboot" command. After
    the successful reboot I started a new run #17114. Now coda
    seems to be counting, but there is still no heart beat.


    04:50 Right after the start of runs #3039 and #21917 the left Coda
    stopped counting and Datamon was showing 100% dead time.
    We stopped both runs. Left arm coda reported "End-of-run
    failed!". We killed left coda and restarted it. After
    successful restart and configuration of coda, we started new
    runs. It seems to be working again.
    Runs #3039 and #21917 are JUNK!


    05:08 New Compton Run #17115

    06:52 Started new Happex run #31459. We also did the NMR frequency
    sweep. New polarization is 62.9%


    07:32 New Compton Run #17116
