<pre>Start evening shift. Experts (Ilya, Greg ...) are working  
on problems with new version of Level3Filter.</pre>


<!-- Date: Thu Sep 21 16:33:40 2000 -->
<pre>Run #98904 - L3Filter and L3Farm guys are testing new filtering 
schema - of L1 triggered 20916evts only 37 have been logged 
by CSL...</pre>

<!-- Date: Thu Sep 21 16:57:55 2000 -->
<pre>We wanted to test the latest Level3 exe tcl and calib combination 
(44,52,32). This is the zero bias Level3 exe for the Physics  
Table COmmisioning_Run _1.  
 
Found a problem in that no events were passed, we suspected the 
prerequisite module. After speaking to Greg Field we found a discrepancy in the L3TriggersBits that is set in the tcl  
vs what was actually being set in the TFRD bank. In tcl file 
tag 52 we had assumed that bit 23 was to be set, but in fact it was bit 21 which was being set (in the TFRD)  
 
For TEST PURPOSES only Ilya Kravchenko changed the L1TriggerBits 
variable to 21 and we saw the following; 
i) With a Prescale of 1000000 4 out of 4219 events were passed 
ii) With a Prescale of 0 1019 out of 1021 events were passed. 
 
Therefore the test was successful. 
 
After speaking with Greg Field we have learned that the bit 
set in the TFRD is going to be 21 for some time. 
The trigger database has been changed by Alexei Varganov to reflect this... 
 
and as I will make a new tar-ball for the Commisioning_run_1 
physics table, only change being the tcl file.

<pre>The run #98909 has been stopped dueto the annoying "busy" time  
out (message from XPT) this time caused by crates 
pcal08,07,10,11 . </pre>

<pre>Greg wants to take spec. run in Myron mode for Peter Wilson. 
He is currently proceedng with that ...</pre>

Note: Wrong run number, etc.
Still this run did not work ...

<font color="#CC0000">Finished controlled access about 1610 with Mike Church, 
Mike McGee, another surveyor, John Featherstone (all BD), Harry Carter 
and myself.&nbsp; We found that the corrugated steel beam pipe on the west 
side between the eastmost low beta quad and the west face of the COT had 
considerable sag.&nbsp; In addition, there appeared to be a kink in the 
beampipe in the horizontal plane near the low beta quad end; the majority 
of the beampipe appeared straight as viewed from inside the 30 degree hole 
looking east but this kink moved the beampipe toward the outside of the 
ring (1 ft, 2 ft? from the low beta quad inside the plug).</font><font color="#CC0000"></font> 
<p><font color="#CC0000">Fabricated fix from pieces of PVC pipe cut lengthwise 
in half.&nbsp; Slid the pieces under the beampipe so as to support and 
straighten out the sag.&nbsp; Also, Mike put piece in BLM support in an 
attempt to compensate for the horizontal kink.</font><font color="#CC0000"></font> 
<p><font color="#CC0000">Note the same problem does not (in theory) exist 
on the east side since the beampipe is already encased in PVC.</font><font color="#CC0000"></font> 
<p><font color="#CC0000">Since we (successfully!) made a controlled access 
only, they should be able to get back to beam in the TeV quickly and check 
overnight whether the beam aperture is improved to the point we can accelerate 
beam to 980 GeV.</font><font color="#CC0000"></font> 
<p><font color="#CC0000">Also, in this access, I turned on all the fans 
on the inside of the south muon wall, and turned off the flourescent lights 
in the same location pointing toward the central arches.&nbsp; I would 
have turned off the flourescents mounted on the 1200 T garage door pointing 
toward the north central arches, but I could not figure out where this 
circuit is available (it appears it may penetrate through the garage door).</font>

<pre>Tried Myron mode with and without L1 Early: 2 or 3 runs tried with L1 Early but got no events.  Tried one with L1 Normal, got about 600 events.  Then noticed that the TS crate had a suspended process.  Rebooted TS crate to see if that is the problem.</pre>

<pre>People should know that data is not being copied to the 
Feynman center.  This has been the case most of today, 
it seems.  I have notified the shift captain.

<!-- Date: Thu Sep 21 18:38:40 2000 -->
<pre>After Greg's special runs try to start run again -  
pcal07 can not be booked by RunControl. RunControl 
hanged - restart all things ...</pre>
<!-- Author: IGor  -->


<!-- Date: Thu Sep 21 18:54:06 2000 -->
<pre>crates cot_02,pcal_07,xft_01,03 are busy - smbdy is working  
with them locally. Exclude them from r/o fro a while.</pre>
<!-- Author: IGor. -->


<!-- Date: Thu Sep 21 19:33:39 2000 -->
<pre>When trying to start the run - Level3 Proxy died. I do not see  
that process. Called Ilya ... Ilya is presently recompiling  
the previous version of L3Proxy as this crashing one is newly  
installed today.</pre>
<!-- Author: IGor. -->


<!-- Date: Thu Sep 21 20:24:07 2000 -->
<pre>Ilya recomliled L3Proxy adequate to recent changes of fer. 
Try to start a run - b0imu01 has a problem "resetting card  
in slot 12 failed", "Statechange failed". The problem 
persists after its rebooting and second trial to start  
the run. I have to mention I had the same problems already  
yesterday... Arndt Meyer requested to exclude b0cot02 
to work with it.</pre>
<!-- Author: IGor. -->


<!-- Date: Thu Sep 21 20:37:55 2000 -->
<pre>b0xtrp00 (number 96) has "Realtime NOT DONE" of 0.5 ... 1.0 sec 
which looks quite slow.</pre>
<!-- Author: IGor & Ilya. -->


<!-- Date: Thu Sep 21 20:55:48 2000 -->
<pre>We are taking Run #98928, L1Rate=~5kHz...10kHz, HardEvb, 
NO Myron mode, SubFarm 15, b0cot002 (Arnd),b0imu01 (bad 
behaviour), b0pcal07 (was busy locally) are excluded. 
Arndt advised to exclude b0xtrp00 at all as it produces bus 
errors.So the crate is not working. Finally the run hanged  
with "Busy Condition in XPT from crates b0pcal04,10,11"- 
I ll try ti reboot them and then start a run again. 
We took only 2373evts.</pre>
<!-- Author: IGor. -->


<!-- Date: Thu Sep 21 21:05:05 2000 -->
<pre>Reset the TDC in slot 12 of b0imu01, so that the poor shift 
crews do not have to try day after day after day to run with 
that crate.</pre>
<!-- Author: Arnd -->


<!-- Date: Thu Sep 21 21:14:18 2000 -->
<pre>The 'Error Display' hanged - can not revive it ... 
Exclude crates b0pcal04 and b0ccal05 upon request from Steve  
Kuhlman. Exclude also b0pcal10,11 as producing 'Busy' condition. 
Exclude b0xtrp00 but include b0imu01 back (Arnd repaired it - 
we ll see).</pre>
<!-- Author: IGor. -->


<!-- Date: Thu Sep 21 21:55:51 2000 -->
<pre>Rin #98933, BUSY timeout - crates b0pcal07,08,10,11</pre>
<!-- Author: IGor. -->


<!-- Date: Thu Sep 21 22:17:49 2000 -->
<pre>Can not start the new run - b0tsi02 with 'DONE timeout', 
b0xft05 produced alot of errors. Try to reboot b0tsi02 .... 
Started the run - again the same Busy Timeout from b0tsi02 
and then Busy Condition from pcal07,08,10,11.</pre>
<!-- Author: IGor. -->


<!-- Date: Thu Sep 21 22:19:06 2000 -->
<pre>Took with Run #98934 again exaactly 74 evts ...</pre>
<!-- Author: IGor. -->


<!-- Date: Thu Sep 21 23:28:55 2000 -->
<pre>CSL stopped working due to a bug in distributor. 
48 messages were in distributor process and 2 in distributor queue. Fixed it and restart CSL.

<!-- Date: Fri Sep 22 00:03:20 2000 -->
<pre>After repair of CSL we finally have succeeded to start the  
run #98939 : NO Myron mode, HardEvb, L3 SubFarm #11,#15, 
57022evts, b0ccal05 and b0pcal04 have been still  
excluded upon request from S.Kuhlmann. The Run has been stopped  
again due to Busy condition caused by CSL ...</pre><font color=red><cite>(Entry started on Fri Sep 22 00:03:17 2000)</cite></font>

<font color=red>Shift Summary: </font>The evening shift is finished. We were running with quite  
low efficiency having many problems caused by timeouts (DONE  
and BUSY condition). The main source of problems was CSL. 
Also L3Proxy was recompiled by expert to make it consistent  
with recent changes of fer.
