* Take 3-5 beam polarization measurements with different Wien filter angle settings.

* To plot and fit spin dance results use one of kumac file, like:

~paw/moller/spin/spin_prec_21.kumac

* Values of beam polarization, errors, wien angles - are defined inside kumac file. It used 'wave.f' function to fit spin dance points, like:

WAVE=PARA(1)*SIN((X-PARA(2))*3.1415/180.*period)
 +
 +
* To run it, set beam polarization, errors, wien angles, range in kumac file, then in PAW type:
 +
> lc spin

> exec spin_prec_21

* Remote Threshold setup for modified Discriminator PS708
 +
<ol>
 +
Modified NIM Discriminator PS708 (8ch) (left NIM crate slot #12 [[https://hallaweb.jlab.org/equipment/moller/pictures/DSC_0222crop.JPG photo]]) and VME board DAC VMIVME-1440
 +
are installed in the Hall A as spare discriminator with remote control.
 +
Software to setup thresholds for PS708 is only low level for today.
 +
But it allows to setup thresholds from VxWorks shell terminal,<br>
 +
like:  set_thr_708(channel,threshold_in_mV).
 +
<ol>
 +
To setup threshold use command from VxWorks shell:
 +
<pre>
 +
  adaq1> telnet hatsv5 2004
 +
  -> set_thr_708(0,200)    set threshold 200 mV to channel 0 (channel, threshold_mV)
 +
  -> get_thr_708(0)        get threshold from channel 0
 +
</pre>
 +
</ol>
 +
 +
28 May 2019. Measured threshold value on T check point of discriminator PS708 vs setting threshold for DAC VMIVME-4140:

Target motion

3 July 2019 from Ethan

Power Switch to reboot Target Magnet Cooling and Motion Systems: 

IP address is 129.57.188.130 ( in web interface: http://129.57.188.130 )
Username: hacuser
Password: as for hacuser

The outlets are labelled: 

Outlet 1: Lakeshore 218 (temperature monitor)
Outlet 2: Raspberry pi (the IOC) ( magnet temperature and compressor readout)
Outlet 3 and 4 are empty
Outlet 5: Moller Target controls (not the motor drives though)
Outlet 6: Power supply controller (Probably should NOT reboot this remotely. If this is rebooted, the power supply will likely need to be rebooted as well)
Outlet 7: Portserver
Outlet 8 is empty

Start CODA Moller database (msqld)

Login to adaq1 (since January 2016 we have moved our old DAQ from adaql1 to adaq1) as moller and check if msqld daemon is running: 

 adaq1> ps -u moller | grep msqld

if output like that: 

 22600 ?        00:00:01 msqld

that means msqld is running.
If not, type to start it: 

 adaq1> run_daemon_db msqld &

CODA LED test run

  • To take test run with LED, select "test_LED" in CODA configuration.
 Configuration file for Detector settings in 'mpc' program: 
 "File"->"Load"
 and select file "LED_2019"
  • Dead time measurement with LED generator [diagram ] .
 Select "test_LED" in CODA configuration.
 Configuration file for Detector settings in 'mpc' program: 
 "File"->"Load"
 and select file "LED_dt"
 SET threshold for "LedDiscriminator" to value that was used with "beam_pol" CODA configuration.

Check Helicity signals and scalers data in CODA data file

In ~/paw/moller start paw.
To check helicity, QRT signals type in paw: 

 paw> exe run run=15623
 Run=15624 is attached to lun=21
 paw> nt/sca //lun21/1 nsca>0 50 1 ! itick itrig(1) itrig(6) itrig(8)

This is output for 30Hz helicity (pair):

	   ch:(4-7) - Calorimeter Right (1-4)
  slot #6: ch:(0-3) - Aperture Left  (1-4); 
	   ch:(4-7) - Aperture Right (1-4)
  • HV prediction (printout predicted HV calorimeter values for energy e0):
 paw> exec hvlg e0=7.3 set=0
  1. Tune detector HV
  2. Start CODA run
  3. Check signals peak position at ADC channel.
 paw> exec run run=15625
 paw> exec lg_spectra run=15625
  • Change HV for calorimeter in order to align the Møller peak position at ADC channel 300 for each block.
  • Repeat from #1
  • FADC DAQ: check signals peak position on online monitor 'mollmon'

Thresholds tuning

Polarization measurements

  1. Start dbedit on adaq1, select "mollerpol_l" database and set in "beam_pol" configuration table in row "code" parameter "adcevents" from 9 to 2: " ... adcevents=2"
  2. Make at least two CODA runs in order to use both coil polarities.

Data analysis

  1. old DAQ: adaq1:~/paw/moller/ 
      > paw
  paw> exec run run=15625
  paw> exec lg_spectra run=15625
  paw> exec time run=15625

Bugs To Fix in Software[1]

Results presentation

  • Results of all runs from "asym19" stored in files: runs.tab, res.dat
  • These files are not rewritable (just add new lines)
  • Do copy these files to paw/moller/meas:
 > cp runs.tab meas/runs.tab.#RunBeg-#RunEnd
 > cp res.dat meas/res.dat.#RunBeg-#RunEnd
  • 1. To plot and average results, edit file: ~/paw/moller/asym_avt.kumac
    comment old beam polarization data and add new one, modify output of 'ps' file and titles with date then run it.
  • 2. To plot and average results, run (plot is stored in file 'paw.ps'):
PAW> exec asym_avv run1=#RunBeg run2=#RunEnd

Spin dance

~paw/moller/spin/spin_prec_21.kumac
  • Values of beam polarization, errors, wien angles - are defined inside kumac file. It used 'wave.f' function to fit spin dance points, like:
WAVE=PARA(1)*SIN((X-PARA(2))*3.1415/180.*period)
  • To run it, set beam polarization, errors, wien angles, range in kumac file, then in PAW type:
> lc spin
> exec spin_prec_21
> lc ../
  • It produced plot file:
 ~paw/moller/spin/spin_prec_21.ps

Troubleshooting

  • Power Switch to reboot Target Magnet Cooling and Motion Systems:
IP address is 129.57.188.130 ( in web interface: http://129.57.188.130 )
Username: hacuser
Password: as for hacuser

The outlets are labelled: 

Outlet 1: Lakeshore 218 (temperature monitor)
Outlet 2: Raspberry pi (the IOC) ( magnet temperature and compressor readout)
Outlet 3 and 4 are empty
Outlet 5: Moller Target controls (not the motor drives though)
Outlet 6: Power supply controller (Probably should NOT reboot this remotely. If this is rebooted, the power supply will likely need to be rebooted as well)
Outlet 7: Portserver
Outlet 8 is empty

  • Moller target softIOC reboot
    You can reboot it from jtabs. Here are the steps: 
          ssh hlal00
    jtabs (or jmenu)
    select System Experts
    select Control System
    select Individual IOCs by Area
    select Hall A IOCs
    and select  iocsofthahfm
    push button Reboot

    Or you can call MCC to have operator reboot it for you.

  • HV control
    HV GUI is running on adaq1 computer.
    To check measured voltages of detector go to directory and type 
      adaq1> cd ~/daq/coda2/scripts   
  adaq1> get_hv hatsv5:2003
    To disable or enable HV channels for Moller detector type: 
      adaq1> ch_ce.sh 0   (disable all channels)
  adaq1> ch_ce.sh 1   (enable  all channels)


  • Remote Threshold setup for modified Discriminator PS708
    Modified NIM Discriminator PS708 (8ch) (left NIM crate slot #12 [photo]) and VME board DAC VMIVME-1440 are installed in the Hall A as spare discriminator with remote control. Software to setup thresholds for PS708 is only low level for today. But it allows to setup thresholds from VxWorks shell terminal,
    like: set_thr_708(channel,threshold_in_mV).
      To setup threshold use command from VxWorks shell: 
       
   adaq1> telnet hatsv5 2004
   -> set_thr_708(0,200)     set threshold 200 mV to channel 0 (channel, threshold_mV)
   -> get_thr_708(0)         get threshold from channel 0

    28 May 2019. Measured threshold value on T check point of discriminator PS708 vs setting threshold for DAC VMIVME-4140: 

     
 #set_thr_708()    Measured value on "T" point of PS708, V (10 times of real threshold)
