Study Report (11th June, 2009)

Today's Meeging

• 10:00~: N-Lab Meeting (could not participate because of the high rate test)

High rate test

• 9:00~: start to establish the same environment as yesterday.
  • ROD configuration failed because of IS server problem
    • could not update information after disable SSW8 (Inner) from FE link 9 on ROD on the TGC parameters panel.
    • discussed with Daniel and fixed by removing the repository (e.g. tgc.TgcRunParameters_RodC11) by hand from IS monitor panel.
  • C02 could not be configured because one JRC route for PSB (0x02830003) SLB0/1 could not taken in 10 times.
    --> run with C03, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 11, 12
• SFI complained again because of the inconsistency of BCID between TGC ROD and CTP ROD.
  • the inconsistency was happened when we change L1 prescale key on the fly from 10kHz to 50kHz
    --> need to discuss with Thilo and Lorne.
• SEU on C05
  • When the SEU was detected on ROD status panel, non-zero values were observed by using JtagAccess command.
    --> Disabled from global. (Before disabling the sector, we should shoot the PsReset and check the behavior...)
• BCR delay on TTCvi
  • In the oks xml file for tdaq-01-09-01, it was defined as 125.
  • But the latest one is defined as 25. --> difference is 100. (consistent with the report of SFI yesterday)
  • I don't know who changes, but I'll change it to the original value (125) and the offset on ROD (3563). --> not yet.
• 15:00~: run with 50kHz except for C05
• 17:00~: test new ROD firmware (don't know the detail)

TGC Online SW

Configuration SW

• Migration to tdaq-02-00-02

  Compile	OK (except for ROD, Gnam package)
  OKS xml	OK
  State Transition	OK (TTC and FE, No HW Access mode)
  Drivers	Not yet (ask TDAQ people after compiling all packages)

• Migration to SLC5
  • Not yet.
  • Start to discuss with the muon online sw experts.
• Bug
  • Some values are reported as ERROR even though the read back value is equaled to the reference value (tdo = tdi).

Configuration Database

• Check out parameters from Oracle with the latest API --> OK
  • Some bugs/modifications are requested to Daniel.
    --> mainly inconsistency between Text and Oracle.
• Download parameters to real ASICs/FPGAs using TDAQ IGUI --> OK
  • Elapsed time to download parameters from DB
    

    Text	~1.2 sec/sector
    Oracle	~ 8.4 sec/sector

  • ~25 sec/segment --> ~150sec in total to configure

Physics

• Daily discussion:
  • No discussion today...
• My interests
  • No study today...
• Today's HEP arxiv
  • All-Order Corrections To Higgs Boson Production In Association With Jets
