Agenda
- Bob : Fix Trigger Supervisor DAQ to communicate correctly with Injector DAQ from ADAQ3 computer
- Bob : Fix Counting Room DAQ (should be easy)
Minutes
- Morning - 9AM - Bob : remembered that the DAQ database was set to run on COMPTON computer, not ADAQ3, so fixing that helped
- Using the ROC24/Injector ADAQ2 and adding it to the CODA 2.6.2 databases works.
- Also updated the CODA3 (rudimentary version) Database (msqld is CODA 2 database system, cool is the CODA 3 database system)
- Also set tsP variable to 0 globally at boot to prevent symbol-undefined complaints
- Also made sure to turn on the ACONS console server so that it can be used to monitor rebooting process of trigger supervisor and DAQ computers
- The CODA ROC (Read Out Controller) in the Injector dies frequently (due to the injector's rate being too high - 1.1kHz, so we called the accelerator people and they reduced to ~50 Hz)
- To Fix the CODA ROC (running VXWorks on a powerpc) Bob has installed a small rasberry pi computer (rpi12 on the network, accessible through ssh) and it serves as a serial port connection into the ROC that allows for remote power cycling using the Minicom software (similar to telnet, but doesn't require buying a console server)
- Morning - 11AM - Bob : including the counting room injector into the mix
- Using the ROC23/Counting-house ADAQ6 to the trigger supervisor (TS) (it didn't work without the trigger supervisor) by editing configurations and the like.
- Just updating the configuration to use the counting room ROC worked (checking to make sure the bits point to the right ROC helped verify, also unplugging the TS cable and seeing the signal stop helped verify)
