Latest revision as of 12:07, 6 September 2024

  • Updates
    • HCal
      • working on FADC scalers
      • GUI not working working
      • Need to get set up for trigger
      • Main CODA not working TS offline
    • ECal
      • Need 3 SDs and 2 VTPs for all ECal crates
      • put FADCs from GRINCH and ECAL in VXS crates
      • Hanjie finished cosmics trigger - 7 firmware for each crates - synthetized and pass to Ben to put in firmware - need to get SSP processing -

need to check with Ben , best place for SSD - cannot go in TS crate - maybe one ECal crate - 2 SSPs in cabinet

      • position dependent thresholds
      • cluster thresholds - column thresholds ? X and Y position from target
      • Kip plan to put together a document for cluster information - document in progress
      • lookup table for coincidence - to be generated too
      • Andrew has link for documents : https://sbs.jlab.org/cgi-bin/DocDB/private/ShowDocument?docid=590
      • Chi-Ying working with Jiwan and Simona - will work on software to do calibration and produce the thresholds for the DAQ
    • CDet
      • Low Voltage supply : Mark building for CDet - Mark wanted to reach out to Ben to ask question about control of LV ,bringing engineering student to help with that too - 3 crates in small bunker - need to have connected to internet
      • cable making on going
      • 4 modules to be retroffited
      • HV cables laid out at pivot to the setup
      • bring TDC cables to be laid next week
      • will install VXS crate - starting to make VETROC ECL adapter
    • Beamline
      • need to recable beamline
      • Ciprian can work on it in November, Paul will come to upgrade parity DAQ crate could help with beamline after
    • Helicity
      • helicity decoding board - Paul has one to be installed - can be added when recabling beamline crate
    • GEMs
      • histogramming method : need to setup VTP and optical to VXS in INFN clean room to test
      • testing MPD and APVs low level - Front tracker looks good, a few APVs causing issue maybe due to HDMI cable - is there a way to test HDMI cables ? HDMI tester - check reflection and bandwidth - HDMI tester not working - can do testing with MPD ? fisheye test might be a way to check the cable - using know good cables and APV and replace -

      • test resistance of cable : small test setup to check for poor contact
      • checked with Ben to reload firmware at each
      • work on GUI to reset APV, MPDs
      • more LV channel to be installed by Lars

    • Need reference time from trigger
