- Helicity
- Beamline/scalers
- HV
- On-going tasks
- EPICS / start End of run logging script (Bob 99% ) - just need to add configuration - will make a test configuration - need to make sure we have all variables - and variables to add at begining / end of run and during the run (EPICS 131 event - need to add to analyzer ) - Provokar gave scripts for some variables to be added : HV for all detectors - issue with ET - Paul checking if there are scripts submitting event as Beginning Of Run event - might be reason for hang-ups
see all events in data stream -
- David readout scalers fine and are in tree - from LHRS - still need SBS side will check with Steve
- script check MPD sync ( Ben , Andrew 20%) - code to unpack information already written - need run with those data - timestamp need some work
- sync check scripts other modules F1, 1190, FADC ( Andrew , Alex, Mark 20%)
- (90%) reference channel to all crates - need HCal and Shower + RF - need to add RF to HCAL - 3 cables - in hodoscope crate - if shower FADC available can add
separate - need RC box for shower and hodo if possible
- (new) Trigger latch TS to TDC ( Bob,Ole 100 % ) - trigger bank has latch
- event type decoding in analyzer - ( mention at analysis meeting ) - need to check with Ole - decoding done and will get in the tree
- need to look at MPD timestamp make sure they all agree
- Possible new tasks
- User event inserted at each split with timestamp, spectrometer information - should discuss with andre
- autoanalysis at end of run - ( Paul has something setup 75 % but still need to be tested ) some issues launching jobs automatically - could have 3, one on each machine
- setup laptop for CH blujeans and Slack - need fix hard drive
- Possible new tasks
- GEN RP
- Unresolved issue
- (need to test)FADC bad channel - FADC replaced but problem could not be reproduce - need to test more ( on going - low priority ) - FADC in test lab - DAQ setup - need to feed signal
- (still there)warning PEB ROC - Bryan checking with Dave - might incorrect flag - not sure why - but data still in sync since only happens - still happening - not sure if it is an issue
- HV can put documentation for other non EPICS control
- (50%) near 100 MB/s limit for FADC crates - Shower window was divided by 2 - HCal windows - could do 150 ns - Move FADCs to top crate ?
- (cannot be fixed - been that way forever) Raster X1 vs Raster X2 anticorrelation
- EPICS insertion : working better but still hangs for long runs
- ROC19 busy fiber : issue became worse - MPD23 disabled - firmware fixes to be implemented for reset
- (new) ER1 hangup - related to ET issue -
- (new) TDC errors - just one run though - https://logbooks.jlab.org/ent
ry/3923168
- (new)HCAL flag file crashing ROCs : file too long ? - max file length to add -
- (fixed) Raster saturation ( fixed with 20 db attenuator )
- No clear signal in GRINCH - latency was adjusted
- HCAL fifo overflow https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3925327 - will check HCal people
- (new) issue with 50 k scripts making entry - logentry script puts a limit on java memory - 50 k and 5 k scripts were changed to use it - might want to use this new script to avoid issues - HALOG from Paul -
Logentry script: https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3933875 - is that a ulimit issue ?
- 3820 scalers : issue to address - will get more as spare - and need
