Agenda

1. runlist
   • What do we need to do before we're ready to respin all of the concurrent running
     • New param files from operations are merged into develop, and stability/beam-trip cuts are working "better". See HAPLog/3708 for beam trip performance.
       • Did we get all the param file changes into operations that we had planned?
     • Possible other merges:
       1. Pair analysis: tree production is working, do not yet have pair-based running sums
       2. Prompt summary: Basic functionality is there, but formatting needed work.
       3. Aggregator: Is this ready to be used on the respun runs?
       4. Post-pan regression: Is this ready to be used on the respun runs?
     • Do we have a "process a run" analysis chain ready? Do we want to set it up as a script?

cd rootScripts/aggregator
source setup_camguin.tcsh
./panguin_wrapper.sh -r <run_number> -f analyze.cfg -n 1 

1. "Operations" branch
2. Pull requests
3. online plots
4. pair analysis
5. regression analysis
6. feedback
7. Green Monster
8. VQWK adcs
9. DAQ issues
   • Event mode DAQ status
   • EPICS run-start and fast logger (and EPICS decoder to slow tree)
   • bmwClient has issues with not pausing when CODA isn't in progress, being stopped and restarted, and to have parameters changed
     • PK was going to send an email with ideas, but hasn't

Bob's DAQ tasklist

 TO-DO list for Parity DAQ
   updated Jan 4, 2019

Cameron & Bob: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13
Tao & Cameron: 8, 9
Bob: 3, 6, 10
Cip, Cameron, Tao: 13  
1 Doing - Timing: mostly understood, still small mysteries (LNE)
2 Doing - Synchronization-check system. w/help from Ed Jastrzembski
5 To Do - Clean up cabling, labels, fasteners - First need to examine all signals
6 Clean up CRL -- eliminate so-called "dirty trick"
7 Check the 7200 scaler setup at injector, find a spare 7200.
8 Doing - Pedestal studies, aka cross-talk.  
10 Green Monster maintenance.
11 Doing - Test spares.  Repair bad modules.
12 Doing - Document everything.  Circuit diagrams, cable map, "how to".
13 Online software, a bit undefined since software is changing.
    (a) automatic production of run-dependent database
    (b) alarms like end-of-run voice (Bob)
    (c) feedback
    (d) coil-pulsing aka modulation aka dithering (Victoria)
    (e) panguin (GUI showing real-time plots)
    (f) prompt analysis
    (g) e-logbook entries 
    (h) archiving EPICs data
