<br><b>Wedge 6E, CEM:</b> 
<br>Nikolai and I replaced the Pisa HV distribution module for 
wedge 6E in the CEM in an attempt to address noise issues in this 
wedge.  The hypothesis is that the distribution module is undergoing a glow discharge in the elevated humidity.

Improvement in the noise observed in CEM wedge 6E.  The left figure shows the results of a cosmic ray run before swapping out
the Pisa HV distribution and the right shows the improvement after the swap.

<br>The cosmic ray data taken the night before last showed 
two dead channels.  These channels check out fine in the

<pre>Here is a summary of the work Maxim and I have performed this 
week on the CEM phototubes: 
 
     1) The new phototube we put in 6R13E was unstable.  We put 
        the original phototube back in place.  The serial number 
        of the phototube now in 6R13E is RB9551. 
     2) The three new phototubes we put in 5R13E, 3R15E, and 
        6R15E all seem to be working fine and having no spikes. 
        So these will remain in place. 
     3) We have removed the white vellum paper or reworked the 
        phototubes in the locations listed below.  Reworking 
        means the first or second attempt to remove vellum paper 
        did not cure the spiking problem for the tube.  In some 
        cases, further attempts showed no improvement in reducing 
        spikes.  The tubes worked on were 
        6R07E, 3L10W, 6R08W, 1R08W, 1L00W. 
     4) Tubes in the following locations cannot be worked on due 
        to our inability to get the necessary parts of our body 
        into working locations: 1L01W, 5L09W. 
</pre>

<pre>Also checked two tubes Rick found as providing no triggers for
cosmic ray runs.  Found the cable plugged into 4L10E was the
wrong one and that it was bad in any case.  This case no signals
from the tube.  Plugged in the correct and working cable.
Checked 6L02E by looking at dark current output from base; it
was fine.  Pulled transition board and checked that a signal
appeared at the output from the transition board.  It does.  So
problem with this tube is not cable or dead tube.

<pre>The PEI supply in b0wcal07 was replaced today because the -5.2 
volt supply was in a fault state.  The replacement held -5.2 
volts just fine, but the analog +5 went into a fault state 
immediately.  So, this was replaced by the only spare PEI supply 
that remained in B0.  Fortunately, it appears to be fine, so far. 
 
In the process of replacing the supply we unplugged all VME cards 
in the crate and plugged them back in again after the voltages 
were checked and adjusted.  It is entirely possible that I 
jostled trigger cables in the process...</pre>

<br><b>b0wcal07:</b><br> 
Got a page this morning (saturday) that wcal07 was unpingable.  ^x in minicom didn't work.  Did a reset crate.  Was able to then log in but was worried about power supply because it had been swapped yesterday.  Voltman was reading out purple (unreachable) with default +30V.  Spoke to Marcin: nobody gave him the new readout address for the supply.  I went down to check voltages by hand.  They were low: 
<pre> 
Left to right from the back of VME crate: 
5Vdig: -4.78 
+5V:    4.76 
-15V: -14.95 
-5V:   -5.0 
+15V:  14.85 
</pre> 
Adjusted voltages.  Obtained PEI readout address and will send to Marcin so he can get Voltman reading out the supply.
