Latest revision as of 11:45, 27 August 2021

  • Updates
    • HCal
      • All ADC and TDC working, all signals seems ok
      • adding new FADC for reference channel and supercluster
      • F1 TDC with reference time, still need to check to get it to work - hope to finish today
      • will take cosmics
      • pulser setup for coincidence trigger check next
    • Bigbite Shower
      • finished mapping checks : turning one column at a time, found a couple cables swapped, fixed, done
      • pulser test : pulser at detector end and look in FADC, compared amplitude of FADC with scope to evaluate attenuation
      • issue with summing module
      • one FADC not working
      • one fan in /out module not working
      • debugging
      • estimate few days to finish debugging
      • after look at calibration code
      • fan/in out module : F428 - two main locations : cabinet outside SBS bunker detector 1 or 2 and 1 cabinet in LHRS - might need
      • starting discussion of coincidence trigger with Bob and Scott
      • cosmics run take - but still need to check plots
    • Bigbite Hodoscope
      • TDC extension installed, TDC look good for every channel
      • ADC cables look goof
      • new LV for NINO received ( goes up to 20 V ) NINO working
      • HV working with telnet, Steve fixed EPICS issue
      • will set HV as before
      • Mark setup trigger for cosmics
      • can take data
      • SBS offline updated software will be installed
      • working on How-to for shift takers
      • still hoping to get compress air for housing of PMT to avoid He poisoning
      • Mark setup hodoscope trigger
    • GRINCH
      • all channels connected and look ok with HV
      • debugging a few empty TDC channels
      • ADC repaired one ADC cable : all ADC cable should work
      • run CODA
      • just need to set trigger and gate for cosmics
      • two NINO cards need to be replaced ( at top of GRINCH ) need fall protection set up, might need to use lift
      • found connection for LED and pulser working
      • CODA working
      • old gate should still be set up
    • LHRS
      • Fiber to TI connected, need to get new firmware for the TI received this morning.
      • will need updated TI library and can give it a try
      • running cables from LHRS, BCM to SBS bunker, will add a new cable tray, see HALOG
      • new router installed, HRS DAQ working fine after
      • can use with one VXS crate with current firmware / library
    • CDet
      • reviewed all pixels on half module, will revised resistors of some of them
      • new data with new resistors take and will be analyzed
    • GEM BigBite
      • all electronics connected working
      • INFN has noise issue being investigated
      • HV on one module
      • UVA side everything connected and looks file : took data for 2 days, can see signals but full analysis still on-going
      • all cosmics data taken with VTP : 20 M events
      • took overnight data without zero supress, last night was taken zero supression
      • could 5.2 KHz with zero supression as long as we don't reach 900 MB/s
    • RF time
    • need add TDC
    • HV
      • Issue with CAEN HV for Hodoscope with EPICS
    • Scalers
      • need cabling
