• Updates
  • HCal
    • new TI swapped
    • all fibers connected
    • Bryan will make the HCal config
    • TDC reference time working now
    • extra FADC with copy of trigger ( reference ) ( make sure the shaper is in and it is the good one ) , 10 supercluster analog sums - might need different latency for the reference time
    • need to check linear fan/in for offsets
    • need double check no capacitive coupling in wrong place
    • might need to add capacitor on some channels if needed
    • 10 ns cable extension to JLab PMTs - clusters line up better
    • can check with LED, but LED not yet ready
    • is there air flushing on PMT ? Not
  • Bigbite Shower
    • finished pulser test for shower and preshower

(look up table of ratios : some modules have isses in shower and still investigating preshower )

• • • could not find any linear fan in/out - need check to Bogdan or Jack
    • might be modules in LHRS that might not be in used
    • connected cables from BB discrimator to HCAL DAC, threshold can be changed remotely
    • installing 2 FADCs in hodoscope crate for sum monitoring
    • one FADC channel was not working 1-4 - will remove FADC to be repaired
    • coincidence trigger : can work with Bob and Scott today - pulser ready
    • continue to debug and take cosmics overnight
    • need clean up area
    • all scalers plugged and to F1 - some features in TDC might be odd
    • need FADC trigger cables
  • Bigbite Hodoscope
    • noise issue figured out
    • could take data with DAQ and troubleshooting
    • 4 data runs at 4 different HV, of lower detector, next middle and upper third
    • still couple of channels to check
    • will try to add to full DAQ when not in use
  • GRINCH
    • setting up timing set up, using hodoscope trigger - signal was too long - shorten cabled - ADC gate working
    • everything reading out - some decoding issue - to look at the data
    • OSP submitted to work on upper half of detector - all ADC channels working
    • few TDC/ PMTs
  • LHRS
    • no major updates
    • waiting for cables
    • will try with TS
    • different modes : running mode with and with fastbus
    • Bryan tried run slave config
  • CDet
  • GEM BigBite
    • took*

• • RF time
  • need add TDC
  • HV
  • Scalers
    • need cabling
    • need work on readout
    • need one SIS set to 3801 for helicity, rest 3800
    • G0 scalers than can be used for detectors - need width at least 10 ns as input
    • FADC for BPM/raster + helicity signal
    • can add readout list
    • 3820 cannot get it to work so far, will take it out - and work on it in TEDF
  • Recoil polarimeter
  • EPICS
  • BCM
    • plugged signal in analog receiver for upstream - 30 uA - will check signal in counting house
    • DAC input for VtoF
    • digital receiver - cable should still be connected as before

• • Helicity
    • erverything plugged in LHRS - still need L1A patch to scaler
    • code merged to readout list - can test it
    • last piece of helicity scaler from TEDF to be ported over to LHRS
    • finishing podd module for readout
  • start / stop / EPICS script
    • working on tedbbdaq for test setup
    • will update scripts on adaq

• On-going tasks
  • Network setup ( done ) - SBS MPD side might need few cables - need pull network for SBS side (0%) - should check when bunker is setup
  • Scaler crate setup (90 % - Steve - need add readout) - Steve could not talk to CPU (done) - IP fixed with DHCP - need change fan tray - CAEN ( done )
  • documentation of VME crate names to power cycle - need to make sure all VXS are in dhcp -Bryan ( done ) https://hallaweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/SBS_Network_Devices_in_Hall_A
  • 3 rd GEM VXS crate install router moved up ( 100% )
  • need power and network in GEM bunker ( done )
  • boot VME controllers (100 % done - need ask hostname TS crate )
  • TS cables - all fibers plugged (done) - will post informations -hodoscope / grinch/ shower separate - can be combined at any time now everything plugged to TS

- new firmware for LHRS TI -

• • detector cabling ( 100 % - debugging )
  • new MPD production - about to start - FPGA received by Paolo - need check when production starts
  • MPD VTP readout - on-going in daq lab - still having issue getting APV sending data to MPD - events going through high speed link
