NDOS Status / Installation Plans:¶
- Mat:
- Karen is continuing with the filling operation.
- The vent-port filling head didn't work as planned.
- Were able to get modified nozzle head to fill some modules that couldn't be reached..
- Will finish off verticals by tomorrow afternoon. Still no procedure for topping off horizontals.
- Hooked five new DCMs into timing chain. Master-slave TDU has not been tested.
- Should DCM timing tests be part of DCM checkout? Leon: yes. But this is not part of Sue's DCM validation script.
- Andrew: hardware supports ability to verify timing data, but software doesn't exist yet.
- Andrew: spoke to Rick and Vince re: checkout of TDU master-slave operation. They'd like Ron R. to work on this. Peter and Leon
- Mat: do not have data cables run for muon catcher because there is no map for how we'll hook up FEBs on side DCM. Andrew will work on that.
- Mat: would like FEB validation script run on DCM 3-3-1, would like to install APD tomorrow. Peter: can be done today.
- Leon: still on schedule for CAP boards.
- Mark: still missing ~26 FEBs. Mat: lower priority. Cable-ectomy is probably best approach, but list needs to be reviewed.
DAQ/Electronics Status & Plans:¶
- Peter: need to update development software today
- Gennadiy found that missing triggers are not due to DDS.
- Qiming started work on watchdog program
- Peter created an ntuple-maker that mines Ganglia data and DCS data.
DCS Status & Plans:¶
- Athans: testing apps on test-stand since last week. Found DDS server has been crashing every ~12 hours. Will try
- Chad: will install RTDs this week. Will begin this afternoon; patch panels first, will connect existing devices to panel (will need to rewire some).
AOB¶
- daqlogs disk was full on Friday; DAQ group will work on a cron-job to take care of this.
