NEWS:
The shutdown is on schedule. We might have a beam injection as soon as this
Thursday. Steve said the Beam Division had a big reorganization recently.
More people are involved in opeations and there will be permanent run
coordinators.
DOCUMENTATION:
John urged the experts to review the instructions of their system before we
start data taking. Dan Ryan promised to move some of the PSM
instruction files in the local PC to the B0 online computer.
CCU:
The muon scintillator group recently wrote new codes to build an excutable.
The result is shocking. This runs 200 times faster than the old version
which runs on interpreter.
TRIGGER INHIBIT:
The National Instrument software were installed in MUON3, Muon Scintillator
and CLC. This will enable us to provide low voltage signal lines for the
trigger inhibit. We plan to have one output for each system instead of having
a few system ganged up as before.
CLC:
The system is upgraded with a new PC. The codes compiled ok but there is some
problems with A1303 interface card.
PISABOX:
Irina is having some problem with the Xenon Flasher excutable which was
being rebuilt after the upgrade. The compile errors like 'can not handle
tags ...' pops out. Margherita and Yeongdae gave Irina some ideas. Also Steve
strongly suggested Irina to modify code such a way that the button colors
of the central calorimeter sytems should stay green on the global alarms page
while readout cycle is on.
ICICLE:
Margherita was requested to include run numbers in the database. She said run numbers should be indexed somehow.
PSM:
Marcin masked off the stuck bit problem with a readout chain before he left. Dan is interested in tracking down the origin of the problem. He said the problemed readout chain is configured differently from others. He said the chain is directly connected to COM 1 port while others were done usual way. He hope this is a clue for the problem.
