Objectives • Improve connection reliability with crates in the pit 2) Enable remote monitoring of HV parameters 3) Enable remote control of HV parameters 4) Enable possibility for HV status logging 5) Allow possibility to send warnings to expert in case of malfunction

DELOCK OHC computers, Topd ~ 90CHF Not as elegant as Terminal Servers, but cheap!
Aging problem • Communication problem persist with TOF-R crate 4! • Problems are typical aging problem (bad contact between connectors, chips and sockets etc…) • Decide to open Crate 4 in very bad working conditions • Communication restored, but we lose 2 HV distributors!
Before: 34 bad pixel (random) After: 30 (random) Before: 34 bad pixel (random) After: 30 (random) Before: 34 bad pixel (random) After: 30 (random) ToF-R bad pixels Before: 34 single bad pixel (random) After: 30 single bad pixel (random)
ToF-R bad pixels Additional 59 bad pixel (4 already in random!) Crate 4, distributors 3 and 6 – 37 new bad pixel Crate 1, distributor 5 – 22 new bad pixel (HV Off!)
Summary At the end of 2011 proton run ToF-L : 87 (bad pixel) (9.7%) + 17 (suspicious) (1.9%) - ------------------- 104 (11.6%) Before intervention: ToF-R: 34 (random bad pixel) After intervention: ToF-R: 30 (random bad pixel) + 37 (due to the intervention, Crate 4) + 22 (unknown reason, Crate 1) - ------------------- 89 (10.0%)
Conclusion • Control and monitoring hardware upgrade successful! • For ION run, remote control, monitoring and data logging of HV status will be possible • Problems: urgently needs for spare parts for CAEN HV system, TDC and QDC • Without spare parts, the future will not be bright for ToF-LR!
