From Hall A Wiki
- Updates
- HCAL
- monitor trigger, overlapping clusters, 1 cable to FADC
- HCAL cable tray layout : ~300 cables from PMT to front end
- Bigbite shower
- same plan as HCal
- waiting for cable trays to be installed between set of racks
- waiting for cable trays on ground
- railing on Bigbite platform
- 2 FADCs have issues : one repaired ( resoldered lemo ) will bring second one chan 7 bad
- Lecroy HV was flakey : Arun will switch to another crate rpi18 with Provokar
- Bigbite hodoscope
- still focusing on software
- GRINCH
- Developing an offline monitoring script for shifters to use, working on event display, ADC calibration script
- LHRS
- cabling A1 aeorogel
- improvement in software, usual
- coincidence trigger setup for HRS
- Beamline
- spot ++ on github and working, build tool using cmake
- David on site August 24th, will start
- Helicity
- got ring buffer working
- work on seed calculator to put helicity in data stream
- could try soon to setup system in HRS
- new helicity decoding board : some delays in getting it
- GEM INFN
- set up SSP readout on the GEMs in the INFN test lab. We will be able to test some raw channel readout every N events to check things are working ok when we run common mode
- GEM UVA
- HCAL
- Discussion scalers
- we have barely enough scalers , could buy more 3500 $ -
- option to use VETROC as scalers - done for Compton DAQ
- number of SIS scalers : 4 + 4 from LHRS + 6 olders scalers (CAEN+1151) + Hall C might have 3820 ( 2 ) + G0 scalers ( with large width more than 10 ns )
- would like to buy 4 SIS
- do we need scaler event by event ?
- helicity scalers scheme same
- Bigbite scalers : 64 channels will get
- 1 for
- Rack layout
- On-going tasks
- Network setup
- Scaler crate setup
- 3 rd GEM VXS crate install router moved up
- detector accounts setup
- boot VME controllers
- detector cabling
- new MPD production
- MPD VTP readout
- Bigbite - HCal trigger setup
- TS setup
- Beamline crate setup
- HCAL cabling
- Outstanding issues
- 2 bad FADCs Bigbite
- SD delay -
- need to adjust for HCAL transit time with different PMTs
- status of cosmics paddles
