<pre>XFT Finder design for COT SL4 (XFT SL2) changed from 3-miss to 1-miss.  It'll probably stay this way for a week.  The rest of the layers are still in 1-miss.</pre>

<pre>Changed linker roads for new beam position. 
Before, the beam offset was 0.25 cm, and linker board 8 was set to the zero  
position.   This configuration was for the beam position of x = -0.23 cm, y = 0.14 cm. 
 
Now, the beam position is an aesthetic  (-0.15, 0.15) cm.   
This gives us a beam offset in r of 0.20 cm, and a board offset of 9.  
So, the following files were loaded : 
 
For crate b0xft01, slot 4 loaded with b9_r_0p2.rbf 
For crate b0xft03, slot 4 loaded with b17_r_0p2.rbf 
For crate b0xft05, slot 4 loaded with b1_r_0p2.rbf 
 
To see a macro which calculates the beam and board offset, go to :

<pre>COT folks decided to configure the HV back to the compromise 
state (SL1,2,3 off, SL4 half gain). 
 
We updated the XFT to run with the degraded COT configuration. XFT is currently running at : SL2 (1-8 convention) is masked on, and SL4 is set to allow 3 misses per segment. SL6 and SL8 are still set to run at 1 miss per segment. We tested this configuration with cosmics with the help of ACE, and XFT looks good. Also, we noticed that cot has noise in SL4 around 250 degrees in phi, and the XFT is performing as it should and finding this noise.</pre>

<pre>Returned the XFT to its COT full voltage configuration: 
 
All layers 1-miss. 
SL2 not masked on any more, only the wires in DeadWiresDefault.txt</pre>

<!-- Comment: Thu May 13 16;39;35 comment by...K.Lannon -->
<pre>Someone can't make up his or her mind.  I've just put the XFT back in compromised COT mode (COT SL2/XFT SL1 masked on, COT SL4/XFT SL2 on 3-miss mode).  They're going to keep the COT in compromised mode.  They may ask us to switch it again tomorrow. </pre>


<!-- Date: Fri May 14 16:00:52 2004 -->
<pre>okay, this time is for real.  COT is now at full high voltage 
after gas re-circulation upgrades.  We have reconfigured XFT 
to 1-MISS for all super layers.</pre>
<!-- Author: Cheng-Ju -->


<!-- Date: Sun May 16 16:16:51 2004 -->
<pre>My previous comment was a bit too optimistic.  The COT has an 
oxygen leak problem so they've stopped recirculation.  The 
COT is back in the compromised state.  I have masked on  
entire SL2 and SL4 is in 3-miss.</pre>
<!-- Author: Cheng-Ju -->


<!-- Date: Wed May 19 14:42:46 2004 -->
<pre>Well, here we go again.  The XFT is back to its "normal" configuration:  SL1 (COT SL2) is not masked on and all layers are in 1-miss mode.</pre>

<pre>XFT Pager Schedule (tentative): 
 
Cheng-Ju is off the rotation for now due to the impending  
birth of his baby (congrats!).  We will try to work two new  
people into the schedule: 
 
08-02-04 --> 08-15-04:  Ben 
08-16-04 --> 08-29-04:  Kevin 
--(Shutdown begins Aug. 23)-- 
08-30-04 --> 09-12-04:  Nils 
09-13-04 --> 09-26-04:  Jonathan 
09-27-04 --> 10-10-04:  Ben 
10-11-04 --> 10-24-04:  Kevin 
10-25-04 --> 11-07-04:  Nils 
11-08-04 --> 11-21-04:  Jonathan 
 
During the first few shifts Nils and Jonathan take,  
Ben and Kevin will be on backup in case they run into  
something they are not sure how to handle.</pre>

<pre>Yesterday, I took a series of low luminosity data runs with the following settings: 
 
Linkers : 
For crate b0xft01, slot 4 loaded with b9_PT2_r_0p2.rbf  
For crate b0xft03, slot 4 loaded with b17_PT2_r_0p2.rbf  
For crate b0xft05, slot 4 loaded with b1_PT2_r_0p2.rbf  
These files can be found in /cdf/code-common/cdfonline/XFTbin/linker/Pt20 
 
Finders:  
SL1 :    fndsl1_4v6.hex 
SL2 :    fndsl2_3v6.hex 
SL3 :    fndsl3_4v6.hex 
SL4 :    fndsl4_5v6.hex 
These files can be found in /cdf/people1/bjk/pt2p0 
 
Run number 186052 was written to the look area.  
Additionally, the store proved to be longer than was expected, and so we have 
about 5 or 6 hours of data with the XFT in this configuration:  
runs 186052 to 186060.  
 
Please see log entries in the day and evenening shifts of Sunday, August 8th.

<pre>Water damage related XTC work during last week. 
 
Last week I tested the XTCs of the crates affected by the water damage: 
TDC | Mezz | XFT test (100k iterations) 
--------------------------------- 
550 |  27  | Failed -&gt; try XTC #87 -&gt; OK (marginal) 
170 |  34  | OK (pass) 
188 |  18  | OK (pass) 
727 |  43  | OK (marginal) 
903 |  72  | OK (pass) 
868 |  46  | OK (pass) 
864 | 231  | OK (pass) 
699 | 199  | OK (marginal) 
179 | 229  | OK (pass) 
820 | 147  | Failed -&gt; reseated XTC -&gt; OK (pass) 
873 | 168  | OK (pass) 
285 |  37  | OK (pass) 
523 |  68  | OK (marginal) 
288 | 105  | OK (marginal) 
643 |  24  | OK (pass) 
 
Did a capture test on all COT crates after installing the TDCs and transition boards in the affected crates.  The affected crates turned out OK, COTNEB-2 slot 9 failed with random errors on the percent level.  Exchanged the XTC (XTC42 on TDC166) and run the capture test again.  No improvement was observed.</pre>

<pre>Eric asked to test two TDCs (654 & 314) with XTCs on them.  He plans to use one of them in slot09 of b0cot19, as he wants to replace that TDC.  Board 654 tested marginal and 314 tested pass.  I reported to him that both are usable.

<pre>Beamoffset linker firmware corresponding to  b9  0p2 
was loaded.   Currently,  it looks like we'll need b8 0p45 
designs.   However,  from Rob Roser it looks like they 
are negotiating to have the beam position changed.  
Richard began generation of the roads in steps of 0.5 cm
to be ready for anything.</pre>


<!-- Date: Sat Dec 18 10:43:32 2004 -->
We have moved the XFT beam spot to shift = 8, offset = 0.45 cm.  This is still with the "new" (i.e. dual slope requirement) firmware.  After some initial difficulty with test vectors, we managed to check the firmware with testvectors.  Everything looks good so we've updated the database and will leave the system like this.

<pre>There is a high rate of events rejected by the reformatter that 
seem to originate from b0cot06 and b0cot07, presumably because of 
some problem with the XTCD bank not playing nicely with L3.  This 
needs to be solved but it presumably does not affect the 
measurements of the readout time.</pre>

<pre>One short run, 198642, was taken with just cot07 but not cot06. 
It might have worked... run 1980644 was taken with both cot06 and 
cot07 but the HV was turned off so there won't be any tracks.</pre>

<pre>Got paged about a problem in the phi occupancy plots.  There was a 20% dip in the segment occupangy for SL6 and a 100% dip in the track occupancy.  The dip area corresponds to the XTCs in SL6 COSWT-2 (which where replaced during the access).  At a first attempt I tried to reseat the corresponding finders (which didn't help). 
 
As a temporary fix I masked all the affected wires to on (the old dead wire list is saved as DeadWireDefaults.txt_Jun-17-2005).  This has fixed the problem, but led to a vastly increased track rate in the affected region.  I will try to run a capture test, when there is some no-beam time and then I will possibly request an access to go in and fix the problem.
