8-pack control system working group Meeting Notes
28 October 2003
In attendance: E. Andrikopoulos, R. Chestnut, J. Frisch, R. Hall, K. Kim, J. Nelson, S. Smith
Note taker/typer: J. Nelson
8-Pack
Status Items:
Mods
for better SIS resolution – JF/SS/&c
Plans are still being
decided, but might include amps on the input signals and tweaking the SIS
electronics, such that full scale is +/- 100 mV instead of +/-1V.
Trickle Down of Sled and
Phase Numbers
Tested and A-Ok! Works great!
SLED/LD Databases/Panel Mods (incl
plots)
Janice reported that
there are some purple statuses at the bottom of the SLED panel, and suspects a
misplaced colon.
Proc loop panel – need
an on/off button and get rid of the 4 buttons across the top from the left and
replace with just one button that is a summary display of the 8 interesting
values on the ADC >db panels
Dm2k plot with just
one ampl and phase – Janice started this, but had CVS
problems. Will also need a panel with
~40 buttons to call this display for all the A&P WFs. Ron thinks we can force the x-scale, which
might also help.
(Ron will
release Janice’s panel mods and Janice will ask for
more unix quota, hoping that’s the cause of her
problem.)
Hardware Deadman
Steve will test the hardware
hook to RF chassis.
IQAs
and PHITs
Janice reported that 5
of 6 IQAs are out there, but IQA5 has a bad daughter
board. Also, when two IQA channels are
stolen for the two load forward powers, we won’t bother to change the software.
PLC/EPICS
No change- still panel
work and testing to do. Cassel will be modifying the PLC in the next couple weeks
and will most likely add status bit that we’ll want in EPICS.
AB Purple Status
(no change) The EPICS
timeout was changed a week or so ago.
Judy will check cmlog to see if the frequency of the purple status has
changed.
Peak Power Meters
Labview
exists to pull out the waveforms, but has yet to stuff them into the CA
server. Maybe soon?
Knobs for Controlling SLED
Movers
Janice made these and
used them and they worked great.
Calibrate IQAs and generator (get SIS testing for free)
Calculate ADC conversion values
Processing loop with real
values
RE/vac/proc
loop/etc trips, also diode SW reset
Check and test that all
interesting channels are being archived appropriately.
NLCTA
MacNair
Digitizer Support
Kukhee is almost
done. Maybe later this week we can start
testing.
Janice reported that the
FONT SISes are working great. Thanks!
Joe has a request for all
the space DAC channels in TR01. No need
for panels, just need database/PVs. Ron will look into how many spares and
setting up the database.
Bob reported that both margetdata and taoutdata work ok
for getting waveforms from Oracle, provided the datasets are sufficiently
small. Janice will give Bob the start
date and PV names so he can get the data directly from Oracle and put it in a
file for Janice.
