Official Meeting AgendaAttending: R. Demirchyan, M. Ito, D. Lawrence, V. Mochalov, D. McNulty, I. Nakagawa By phone: S. Danagoulian, A. Gasparian
Mochalov. Software Tasks in Testlab: (see 3rd link in above Official Meeting Agenda page) |
Understand the incorrect mapping of HV channels between the DataBase and the HV Crate. --D. Lawrence says: need to modify mySQL DB to be correct then upload the necessary info into HV Crate. Also, maybe some problems with the mapping of Detector Name to Detector Channel. |
Add the possibility to turn on(off) specific board HV (part of the board); important for testing the baords. --Sombody says: E. Clinton will look into this. |
Cables resoldered, so we need to make necessary pin assignment changes in "primex_online" DB. --Jar Underwood is doing this work. |
Hardware tests to perform: (1)Add third fastbus crate, (2)Pedestal, (3)LMS, (4) Trigger Cable test, and (5) Prepare list of "bad" channels. --for (1), I. Nakagawa still looking into low Voltage (+/- 5V) problem; D. Lawrence says it should be trivial exercise to install last fastbus. --for (2) and (3), R. Demirchyan, V. Mochalov, and D. McNulty will work on this. --for (4) OBJECTIVE: To check each channel's dynode trigger signal (individually) by sending to an ADC...PROBLEM: There is no extra output at 1st stage fan-in, but there is one at 2nd stage fan-in, however, at this stage there are from (6x30=)180 to (6x36=)216 channels summed together and we need to look at one individually. SOLUTION: We need a script that will ramp down 7 of 8 channels in group. E. Clinton or M. Ito will do this. --for (5) There are some already known to have no booster supply. The usual suspects will work on this. |
Nakagawa Leftover from last week--D. Lawrence's responsibilities from Dry-Run II |
--ET to ET not working. |
--rootserver crashes when client sends ls request (except for hycal_calib and ps_calib). |
--Need to setup ET system in testlab |
Ito Online area announcment |
We now have a directory for our online files. It is /usr/local/primex |
This directory can be used for any files that we need to have to support datataking. We should all make sure that files under this tree are group read/write-able and are owned by the "primex" group. If we stick to that, then CVS should work for all of use. |
One caution about CVS. Do not use a remote, ssh-based CVSROOT when checking out files. That will shut out others from all CVS operations on the checked out directories, including informational operations. The /group/primex area is mounted on the clons, so "setenv CVSROOT /group/primex/CVS_REPOSITORY" is the proper choice. |
Right now there is only a "builds" directory here. I am building rel-4-8 there as start. |
SOFTWARE MEETING TIME MOVED TO TUESDAY 3:30PM |
