Start of Shift Notes:  

Store 3263 (inst luminosity 1.5E31) and run 159506 (Silicon in, COT in degraded mode) in
progress
 Mon Mar 1 17:11:47 I have restarted ResMgr (Resource Manager) to pick up a small bug fix. More details can be found in the database e-log link here. - W.Badgett

brief psm alarm with everything in alarm state (red). received trigger inhibit. cleared within
30s. everything back to green.
 - ian :: (run 179506)
Mon Mar 1 18:12:10 runSummary.html is blocking for run 179506 (works for other runs/store); called Bill Badgett; he will take a look - Stephan :: (run 179506)
Mon Mar 1 18:15:49
Change in plan - no access tonight (in favor of a 6-8 hr access for D0 later this week). But still 4 hrs of Tev studies.

Mon Mar 1 17:13:54 comment by...JPM -- The access into the experimental halls between stores has been canceled, there will be a longer access on Wednesday or Thursday. After Tevatron end of store studies finish, go directly into shot setup.

Shift crew, please do a test of JET_ST3_DECOUPLED[1,433,403] during beam studies or between stores:
  • Start with AAA_SHOTSETUP configuration. Don't care about HV. Don't care if there is beam or not.
  • To select decoupled trigger table: Edit or View Run Settings / go to Triggers menu / L1,2 Special Trigger Types (decoupled from L3) : choose L1/L2 plus L3 tagsets
  • Run 5 minutes.
  • If the run fails at any stage, try a 2nd time to see if it is a reproducible error.
  • If HV is off, usually no triggers other than 1.7 MHz of MB_XING. If there is beam, you might also expect some calorimeter or diffractive triggers. However, there should always be at least the minimum 1.7 MHz rate L2 accept rate
Mon Mar 1 18:22:48 Cryo on shift called, pointed out MCR has canceled access experimental access at 2 am. They plan to go directly into shot setup after store. - Stephan

Restarted the tomcat server on b0dap61.  That seems to have  
made the RunSummary database access a bit faster.  Note that  
there is a backup running on this machine, soaking up most  
resources.  Things won't improve much until the backup  
finishes;  note that a more powerful server is in the works... 

DAQ Ace also has access to restart the TomCat server.

Mon Mar 1 20:11:40 Some SVX power supplies all from the same crate read out zero voltage on digital channel, although the current looks fine at a first sight. Please refer to the entry in silicon logbook for more info. answering e-mail from Rainer. Probably aces should be informed. - Saverio D'A.

Dear Aces, 

    We are leaving a first version of DQMon running to  
check its stability....please report (mmp@fnal.gov)  
possible red boxes (besides COT...already RED)

Mon Mar 1 21:51:41 MCR (Dave) called: people are ready to start Tevatron studies at 10 pm. Will end the run and bring down HV except for CLC. - Stephan

Mon Mar 1 22:01:54 
for eos studies: 

turned cot off, left clc on, put others regular between store settings.

Tevatron studies: 
   - called Taka regarding SVT studies; he is in 
   - called Alberto regarding level 3 farm; will come in 15 min 
   - HV in standby 
   - informed MCR

-- Mon Mar 1 22:08:06 comment by...rainer --  please also page silicon main pager and ask her to hockerize crate #5 (or have ace hockerize crate #5 with her support on the phone) - it reads non-sensical bias voltage readings. Please be aware to take down corresponding wedges first (i.e. switch to OFF - hockerize - switch to standby). if in doubt, page silicon SPL.
-- Mon Mar 1 22:28:55 comment by...Stephan --  
   - Alberto is in
   - Silicon paged; Florencia called back;

-- Mon Mar 1 22:33:54 comment by...Stephan --  
   - Taka finished work on the SVT

Mon Mar 1 22:39:28 Run 179506 RUNSTATUS: 
Marked Bad, explanation:
CCAL: CHA TDC hit width bad in object mon
PCAL: PEM & PHA TDC timing bad in object mon
 - cdfscico
-- Tue Mar 2 02:04:48 comment by...Vadim --  Please, do not mark run as bad because of slight shifts in some of the Time Monitor histograms. Such problems are compensated by proper calibrations. Also that monitor doesn't even write its decision into the Consumer Endrun Summary Database. We are working on a histogram checking procedure which is less confusing.
Mon Mar 1 22:45:01 
 I cabled final SVT MRG to slot#13 GB (which has new firmware) to  
check the new firmware functionality. This will be readout by 
SVDD bank from slot#6 GB ch#2. Main stream data should have no  
harm since we only use split data. 

 This is the final test of this firmware with massive real data. 
If this succeed, we'll install this new firmware.

Mon Mar 1 23:04:07 I hockerized crate 5 with Florencia's help. See the silicon elog.  - ian
-- Mon Mar 1 23:15:20 comment by...rainer --  ... which indeed fixed the readback problem. thanks. (just hit reset trips on the PSGUI if you get a chance)
-- Mon Mar 1 23:21:14 comment by...ian --  
ok i hit reset trips

   - level 3 reboot complete
 - Stephan
-- Mon Mar 1 23:59:44 comment by...Alberto --  The whole L3 farm has been rebooted. No problems at all with the nodes, a test run has already started.

Mon Mar 1 23:56:48 Shift Summary: 
Store 3263 (inst lumi 1.2E31) and Tevatron studies in
progress 

   - continued data taking with low lum PHYSICS_2_03[1,431,435] 
   - nothing major 
   - SVT completed work during Tevatron studies 
   - level 3 reboot completed 

Plan is (after level 3 work is complete) to: 
   - test trigger table JET_ST3_DECOUPLED[1,433,403] 
   - run level 2 torture 
   - when store is dumped, take calibration and cosmics
