• Updates
  • Rate tests
    • [1]
    • [2]
    • [3]
  • HCAL
    • Progress new HV - was using amplitude - will use integral instead
    • will start calibrating HV
    • cosmics paddle setup on top, second paddle - under HCAL - will try to have cosmics trigger for calibration - can also get timing resolution
    • will work on coincidence
  • Bigbite Shower
    • replaced module - signal consistent
    • most FAN IN/OUT found in bad shape - only 3 good ones
    • need FADCs for sums - will check with Chris
    • FADC slot 6 replaced - broken given to Bill Gunning - tested but did not see - channel 7 of FADC
    • Additionnal SD board for FADC from ED
    • issues with F1 TDC at high rate, DMA errors, TI output about 20 ns, will switch to OT#2 so we can try larger gate
    • Bryan check with Ed, width should be fine
    • trigger from TDC output might be double pulsing - will switch to OT#2 - and put in scaler
    • coincidence trigger BBCal and HCal -
  • BigBite Hodoscope
    • Good date at 4 different HV setting - need upper third
    • pedestal fitting and can tune HV
    • trigger on other detector for timing calibration
    • need to use fast trigger , Ralph will check with Mark
  • GRINCH
    • OSP to access detector : 2 NINO cards replaced - fixed all empty channels mostly loose cables - 1 dead PMT - both ADC and TDC working
    • trigger setup last night
    • cosmics data - all ADCs cables - top 16 channel still weak - replaced with a spare
    • setup ADC cables on front-end and long cosmics run
  • CDet
    • power outage test lab
    • working on quality check on data
  • Bigbite INFN GEM
    • trying to fix noise issue - applying shielding to one INFN module - will take data to see if it is better - done on detector
  • Bigbite UVA GEM
    • running smoothly - data look normal - discrepancy between offline and online common mode
    • XY and UV taking
  • Scalers
    • testing scalers on sbsvme29 SIS3800 and G0 scalers up to slot 10 - some not working -

Discriminator scaler working but mapping wrong -

• • Beamline
    • last check on BCM and VtoF, cleaning the fan out module, will do current test of unser
    • still need to run cables -cable from green wall to SBS weldment - 25 cables
  • LHRS
    • 4 cables from LHRS to weldement
    • connection to LHRS and TS
  • HV
  • RF
    • plug in FADC ?
    • can add F1 TDC -
  • Helicity
    • changes to be put in
  • EDTM study ( Bob can help )
  • Reference channel

• On going tasks
  • Cable to weldment ( Jack ? )
  • cabling scaler/beamline crate ( David , Bob 0%)
  • HRS to TS and timing ( Bob, Maria 0% )
  • EPICS / start End of run logging script (Alex, Bob 0% 09/15 )
  • script check MPD sync ( Ben , Andrew )
  • RF (Alex, Bob )
  • sync check scripts ( Andrew , Alex )
  • Hodoscope v1190 clock ( Alex , Mark , Ralph)
    • check if calibration is needed after switch
  • Full configration all crates ( Alex, Bryan )
  • data rate test with new computer and 3 VTPs ( Alex, Bryan )
  • test GEM zero supression ( Sean, Holly )- done
  • GEM cosmics ( Sean, Holly )
  • Shower cosmics (Arun, Provokar )
  • HCAL cosmics (Scott)
  • GRINCH cosmics ( Bradley )
  • Hodoscope cosmics ( Ralph )
  • DAQ documentation ( Alex, Rachel )
  • suggest taking all detectors cosmics every night
  • add scaler crate to full config
  • coincidence trigger
  • EDTM
  • BB CAL and HCAL at TS - delayed after coincidence

• Issues
  • Shower FADC bad channel - FADC replaced but problem could not be reproduce - need to test more
  • HCAL ROC16 fiber - will double check if fiber 5 enabled - use slave5
  • warning PEB ROC - Bryan checking with Dave - might incorrect flag -
  • Shower F1 issue at high rate - need to check with OT#2 - check at sync event implemented - DMA error might come from multiple pulsing - might

• Status software in a-onl@aonl1
• GRINCH
  • still need to install - need to check if commits were merged
  • still running locally -
• Shower
  • installed
  • one script working with TS files
• GEM
  • Andrew tried already
• Hodoscope
  • installed
• HCAL
  • setup and can look at data

• All crates
• Bigbite config : GEM GRINCH Hodoscope
• need add HCAL and HRS
