Presentation Transcript

  1. Readout Misbehaviors • Hot/Dead Regions • most frequently occuring in crate x50 • generally occur in at least pairs of AFE boards • when more than one pair at the same time, they are generally from the same sequencer • data appears compromised during episode • pulse height spectra are not reasonable when hot • links look OK during episode • address via run pause, minimal download • FEBs • crate 0x50 remains rather unpleasant 100% FEB • most frequently occurring in crate x50 • address via run pause, minimal download and reinit VME • Avoid SCL init as technique to “recover” from FEBs of crates x50 through x53 • some evidence that hot and/or dead regions can be caused by such an attempt at recovery

  2. Attacking Readout Misbehaviors • CFT_GUI modifications to localize “fix” • Online Monitoring • examines • FEB_UTIL • Upgrades to SDAQ code • Data Integrity Checks • online software • offline analysis (dsdump and svxrawdump) • Firmware Review • CTS studies • Sequencer Logic Analyzer • Readout Clock Duty Cycle (and 53MHz readout) • VTM Glink synch check • VRB firmware updates to flag error conditions • C0C0 normal end of HDI string • CCCC Glink synch error • CECE Timeout (gap > 300 nsec in data stream) • CFCF Input Buffer Overflow

  3. CFT+PS Weeks in Review • Hot/Dead regions and FEBs significantly reduced • Six AFEs swapped to address weak channels • Virtual backplane swap • calibration database issue identified • returned grey cables to standard location • 1B0/1B1 calibration problems addressed • grey cable reseated at AFE backplane • PDAQ examine enhancements • most data integrity tests in place with results histogrammed • dump event feature added • AFE occupancy monitor development in progress • VRB crate x52 and x53 firmware update installed • CPS • identified CPS examine map problem • adjust bias voltages • prep to reduce gains for CPS channels • FPS • pulser issue under study • swapped 8 AFES to study dead regions

  4. CFT+PS Weeks in Review • Monitoring missing events • uMon replacing l3Xmon • Spying on Vertex Examine • L3 tracking • results sensitive to both CFT and SMT performance • trigger too • East cold block temperature issues • AFE slot 3B7 remains troublesome • cause of most FEB encountered in CFT+PS system • Power supply for AFE crate 2B • Discriminator threshold test • run at nominal +2pe

  5. Studies Period • Expect beam studies through Wednesday afternoon • update VRB firmware for crates x50 and x51 • update SCL receiver firmware in crate x53 VRBC? • Calibrations (for additional discriminator studies) • reduce CPS gains • Anticipate a 3 hour access opportunity early tomorrow morning (if we are ready to test implementation of 1553 fix) • new proms in sequencers for VRB crate x51 • document transformer status on SEQ an SEQC • install updated firmware? • Check on AFE crate 2B power supplies • AFE board swapping • 3B7 • mono and 254 challenged boards • dead channels (SVX and discriminators) • VSVX firmware update? • FPS pulser testing
