<pre>Waiting for shot setup again. In the mean time we 
are exercising the system.</pre>

<pre>We are doing Level 2 studies with RECES and Tracklist. 
G. Pauletta wants to use the plug crates and pulser crate to perform studies 
with the plug laser. We are using the rest of the system for cosmics. </pre>

I am about to do some plug laser runs. 
When the lasers run, they could generate noise in 
nearby electronics.

<pre>Called MCR. They are trying to sign off on the work they did at MC4. 
IT will be about 2 hours or so (at least) before they put bema in the machine. 
They will notify us before that and the crew chief will call us for an update when they have a better idea baout their time scale.</pre>

<pre>Start a new run with COT and muon crates. Give the PCAL crates to Giovanni. 
During cold start, get some error messages from SCPU crates (eg b0eb22 could not connect to Builder ID 35 on b0l3c16a). 
This messages were seen before and were not affecting the running, so we start anyway.</pre>

Took b0svt06 from L2 people to test the fer codes for a while. done.

<pre>Fred crate and configuration code has been changed so  
that "real" run sections are generated only when  
the dataType is "BEAM" or "PHYSICS".  Otherwise, fake  
runsections are produced by the MVME CPU every 30 seconds. 
 
This allows testing configurations to change the prescale  
on the crossing trigger without adversely affecting  
the data handling system, assuming a non-BEAM datatype  
is selected. 
 
Fred crate has been rebooted & Run Control fer package  
rebuilt.

<pre>Bill Ashmanskas wanted to look at cosmics with COT ON. 
Aseet gave permission as far as there is NO beam in the machine. 
COT was turned ON but at same time the solenoid was ramping down  
so we put COT in standby again. 
 
In the mean time I was curious why CH13 shows protons 0 at one 
moment 1.2E9 the next moment, 0 again and so on if there is no 
beam in the machine. Same is true wit the channel that shows the  
36 bunches. You see small numbers like 0.4, 0.6. 02 etc and 
you do not know if there is any beam in the machine. 
Called MCR and teh person I talked to said that they are not sure 
and will ask somebody else but this is probably "glitches". 
There is NO way they would have bem in the machine since they are 
in the cooling process. 
 
One thing we notice is taht in Channel 13 when there is NO beam, the energy 
reads negative or very low although the proton shows non 0. 
MAy be this is another way to make sure that there is NO beam in the  
machine. Propably teh best way is to watch channel 24.</pre>

<pre>Giovanni complained that 5 PCAL crates (00,01,02,04 and 09) are unresponsive. We can log in to them and everything look fine. Also, in VxWorks, they have an error status (U). 
So we reboot them and try to include them in a cosmics run -> everything seems fine then.</pre>

<pre>Just called MCR. They are still cooling down. 
It will propably be another 2 hours before they start shot setup.</pre>

<!-- Date: Wed Aug 1 19:48:49 2001 -->
Finished L2 tracklist studies.  Summary in the <a href=

<pre>The cooling seems to be progressing well. 
We are collecting the system to do calibrations atht were not 
done earlier today.</pre>
<!-- Author: vaia -->


<!-- Date: Wed Aug 1 21:44:20 2001 -->
<pre>We have done QIE, SMQIE, LED and Xenon calibrations. 
Michael will document those shortly. 
 
In the mean time called MCR. They will start teh 6 rampings  
without beam shortly and it will be another couple of hours 
before the inject beam.  
</pre>

<!-- Date: Wed Aug 1 22:04:02 2001 -->
<pre>Start taking calibrations (no beam in the machine): 
 
Some problems when starting the runs: cannot fetch new run number. Stop and start RC and Software EVB. Finally, we manage to get a run number: 
 
 
CAL_QIE 122476 
SMX     122477 
LED     122478 
FLASHPED 122479

<pre>Turn COT HV on to take cosmic run.</pre>
<!-- Author: Koji -->


<!-- Date: Wed Aug 1 22:09:29 2001 -->
<pre>We are taking "cosmics_all[2,165]" without silicon. 
COT is ON. Called silicon to see if they want to be inegrated. 
Franchesco is coming to test the system before they give it to us.</pre>
<!-- Author: vaia -->


<!-- Date: Wed Aug 1 22:15:29 2001 -->
Given that we have some time without beam, we turn on HV and take 
a COSMICS_ALL run with all the components except the silicon. 
Run starts smoothly.

<pre>Start new cosmics run with silicon integrated. L3 gets stuck in partition transition. 
We reset the run and stop and start the L3 proxy. 
Then restart a new run. This time, L3 passes partition transition, but then, get a lot of BUSY timeout when running.</pre>

<pre>Still trying to take cosmics with Silicon in. 
We keep having busy time-outs. 
Franchesco and Saverio are here and trying to  
adjust a "response parameter" related to the event size  
to avoid the timeouts. </pre>

<font color=red>Shift Summary: </font><pre>During this shift we did L2 studies, plug laser studies, 
central laser timing studies, calibrations for calorimeter 
(QIE, SMQIE, LED, Xenon) and are now taking cosmics trying to 
integrate silicon as well. 
We can continue trying to take cosmics till we have beam. 
Should find out the status of ccal08, slots 3,4,5. 
Did not manage to talk with Shower Max experts. Watch YMON 
for cal08 and page Shower Max again. 
We may need to remove it from the run. 
Just talked to control room. They plan to inject beam in 
about 45 minutes. Asked them to call us 10 minutes before they inject.</pre>
