Owl shift summary: Miha Mihovilovic (SL), Diancheng Wang (TO)
===================================================================
EVENTS
23:55 We have noticed that Compton Coda was not counting events
and that the Heart beat and the Photon counting rate were
also not changing. We discovered that the ROC1 and ROC2
crashed. We rebooted coda and started new run #16767. Now
Compton seems to be working properly again. Because of
these problems is run #16766 JUNK!
00:00 The shift has begun quietly. We are taking production
data with 10uA beam on polarized 3He target
(current polarization is 61.3 %)
00:40 Started a new Happex run #31309
02:10 Started new Compton Run #16768
04:10 Started a new Compton Run #16769
00:40 Started a new Happex run #31310
06:10 Started a new Compton Run #16770
06:30 At we had some problems with the DAQ. The Dead time for
the left arm was 100% and the LEFT Coda wasn't counting.
We have killed both codas. We have checked if ROCs are
alive. They were. The only problem that we encountered was
with TS0. The connection with it was lost. The message was
saying that the connection was closed by a foreign host. We
were trying to connect back to it but our connection was
REFUSED. In spite of that, we started both codas again.
While we were configuring the left arm, the error messages
in the status windows start to appear that ROC9 and ROC10
did not report status form more than N seconds. When we
opened the ROC windows again in order to reboot them, we
realized, that they are already rebooting. Therefore we
waited until this process finished, and in the end checked
if ROCs respond. Then we restarted left Coda again and
started new runs: #1756 and #20662. Now everything looks
normal again. The dead times are 6% and 12% and rates are
700 and 500 events/s
These problems appeared just after we started runs #1755
and #20661,therefore are these two runs JUNK!
