Goals for PrexII running

Main Article: DAQ To-Do List

  • Work on the Parity DAQ to bring the Trigger Supervisor (TS) into its proper overseer role
    • ✓ This requires shifting from COMPTON to ADAQ3 computer and verifying all connections and .crl files behave as expected (completed in 5-23-2018 meeting)
    • ✓ Set up Trigger Supervisor DAQ to communicate correctly with Injector DAQ from ADAQ3 computer
    • ✓ Set up Counting Room DAQ and add to TS (should be easy)
    • ✓ Set up RHRS DAQ and add to TS (completed in 5-24-2018 meeting)
    • ✓ Set up LHRS DAQ (completed in 5-25-2018 meeting) with new QWeak ADCs, connect it to RHRS, and add to TS (completed in 5-31-2018 meeting)
  • Commission DAQ
    • 3/4 ✓ Deploy all ADCs needed and test each channel (completed all but Injector ADC testing in 7-30-2018 meeting)
    • ✓ Build various DAQ configs with subsets of the DAQ crates
    • ✓ RS485 cable between HRS to build full system (completed in 7-29-2018 meeting)
    • Timing diagram, check timing of external signals and readout
    • Check the 7200 scaler setup at injector, find a spare 7200
    • Test rate limit, ensure deadtime zero
    • Pedestal studies, aka cross-talk
    • Test spares (Ye Tian is working on this)
    • Add a scaler to R-HRS crate
  • Improve DAQ software
    • Ensure that ET system is fast enough for feedback
    • Revive the synchronization-check system
    • Combine Prex.crl, Prex_ts.crl, and Injector.crl functionality into one modular CRL
    • Implement Bank structure
    • Green Monster maintenance
    • Eliminate the so-called "dirty trick" if we can (clean up CRL)
  • We want an automated system that will vastly simplify the life of WACs (Fall 2018) - see June 1 2018 afternoon meeting for more
    • It should read information from CODA, EPICS, and shift operator schedules as runs start and stop
    • It should make standard analysis plots
    • And it should display these diagnostic and physics results on a collaboration viewable webpage
    • This will likely involve mimicking the existing ELOG automated systems
  • We should rewrite the existing PAN (Parity ANalyzer) into JAPAN (Just Another Parity ANalyzer)
    • This is partly to update the codebase to incorporate the QWeak analysis updates
    • And also to build expertise and familiarity in the current collaboration
    • JAPAN is currently in development at www.github.com/JeffersonLab/Japan
