Overview of Shift Tasks
- Ask the expert (back room) if something is unclear.
- Start / stop runs using the Parity DAQ (apar@adaq1). Keep runs <430 K events or ~0.5 hour at 240 Hz.
- Verify that Charge Asymmetry feedback is running. The data are practically useless if not.
- Verify that Beam Modulation is running
- Look at the Panguin ("online analyzer") plots
- Analyze ("fast prompt") each run and review the prompt plots.
- (new, Aug 19) Run the Compton DAQ
- (new, Feb 28) Run the Compton Counting Mode DAQ
Taking Data
- Starting CODA
- Starting a Run
- Starting the Compton CODA
- Starting, Ending & Analyzing a Compton Run
- Starting the Compton Counting Mode DAQ
- Taking a run
- Online analysis How-To
- HRS_DAQ
- Podd Analysis for Q2, Optics
- Take a spot++ run (High current or low current)
- How to go to cavity lock with low current - this is NOT required for CREX
- Doing a calibration run
- Taking MAIN detector Counting Run (Alignment Check)

Target
- TargetOperation
- How to Find the 90-Degree C-Hole
- How to establish beam on a lead target
- Thermally break-in the target in case of long beam down
Detectors
- Trouble-shooting the High Voltage GUI
- Checking the GEM Gas panel
- Checking the HV
- Check-list For taking Counting runs and Going back to Production
Fast Feedback
