Run Configuration¶

Summary¶

Currently, we are taking noise data with the detector with TPC Cathode and Wire HV OFF. PMTS are also currently off. Outside active works periods (i.e. runcos/experts on the platform + in the control room), shifters should take 5-minute noise runs (config 633) once every two hours.

Run Control¶

Configuration	Config ID	Time [min]
Zig-Zag Noise Run Configuration	633	5
ASIC config to unmask noise on FT6	630	5
ASIC config to return FT6 to normal operation	631	5

Configs 630 and 631 are misnamed and will be deleted after this period of works is over. They are not to be used for the 5 minute noise runs; only recorded here for posterity when we want to come out of the zig-zag testing configuration.

Notes on current operations:¶

• MiniBooNE is down until 9/18.
  • Do not fill out the miniboone checklist.
• We've been getting dewpoint alarms. The alarm limits are set more conservative than the cryo system's heater control. Therefore this is only a problem if the alarms persist for more than 30 minutes.
• Similarly, the ZMON has been throwing frequent alarms. The relevant expert has been informed and investigations are ongoing.
• While Jose is transferring SN data (he'll notify via the gchat), some seb*_memfree alarms may occur intermittently.
• CRT Crate Rails alarms (uB_CrateRails_CRTUtil*) can be ignored until this line is removed from the run plan.

Additional Shifter Requirements:¶

• Please follow the Shift_turnover procedures
• At the end of your shift, please post a plot of the last 8 hours of variable: uB_Cryo_IFIX_1_0/PT102
  • Minor oscillations below 0.1psig are indicative of the LN2 dewar refilling. This is normal.
  • A small spike every 7 hours is expected. Example: http://dbweb6.fnal.gov:8080/ECL/uboone/E/image/47025/Screenshot%20from%202017-08-14%2014-57-26.png
• During access to the detector:
  • Please fill out a Beginning of Detector Access and End of Detector Access Form.
  • If the "keytree" alarm occurs, and the persons accessing the platform have not called the shifter first, then call LArTF to find out who is accessing the detector. If no one answers, call the runco.
  • Detector platform access must be cleared by runcos.
  • At the end of detector access, please acknowledge the keybank incomplete alarm.

In Case of Cryo Alarms¶

All the cryo related alarms from either iFix or slow controls should be documented by shifters in ECL with the alarm variable names.

If a shifter does not receive a call within 15 minutes of seeing a MAJOR cryo alarm:

• Call the Run Coodinator
• If the Run Coordinator cannot be reached
  • During Daytime Operating Hours (8am - 10pm CDT)
    • Call the cryo experts in the order listed on the expert call list: http://www-microboone.fnal.gov/at_work/expert_call_list.html
  • During nighttime hours:
    • Email the cryo experts
