Communicating with the wire chambers¶

Running the Wire Chamber Mini-DAQ¶

setup ftbf
cd ~ftbf_user/experiments/mc7
Look in instructions.txt

When you have a few seconds before a spill (in case you want to type a comment before you start the run)
./daq-mc7.py

This daq fills one data file, appending each spill, until the user stops it.

Looking at the data, Beam Study¶

ssh ftbflx01
setup cern
cd ~ftbf_user/experiments/mv7/BmStud

How to do a hard reboot of the WC¶

If the wire chamber controller at ftbfwc02 starts refusing connections it may need a reboot:

• from a browser go to http://ftbf-pdu00.fnal.gov
• User: admin Password: <on the board in the CR>
• Navigate to this screen:

• click on "Outlet 6" and then choose "Immediate Reboot" from the menu at the top
• The state will change to "Off" but will be pending. Wait a little while and refresh the screen or log back in. The WC should be back on.
