<pre>We are here with Pepe. 
 
And we just do not know what to do. 
 
But perhaps Pepe can tell us. 
 
Yes, it looks like we are going to take a few runs for Saverio!!! 
 
1001 events one wedge at a time. DPS off and read all. 
 
By the way Pepe is a friend of Saverio... 
 
Pepe is telling us we can go for that.</pre>

<pre>Taking runs: 
 
First one: counter mod 250 
 Pipe (not Pepe) Depth 4 
 Ramp Trim 5 
 Bandwidth 5 
 Ramp Pedestal 6 (so std) 
 All channels (readout mode) 
 DPS is off 
North Wedge 2 (B0FIB00) 
Comment: Layer 3 not working, Layer 4 is empty, z-noise is too  
high  
File: laser489.svx 
(found that mapping is the old one - from FIB to VRB) 
 We did not init the boards and we did not communicated 
our request to the shift people on the CR (updated instructions) 
 Saverio, you can use it anyway) 
 
Start again: 
 
 
 Same conditions (asked by Saverio)  
  Wedge 2 west : laser494.svx (1000 events  
  layer 3 is off - 2 cap id errors on layer 4) 
  Wedge 3 west : laser495.svx (1009 events 
  all layers on - skip first event) 
  Wedge 2 east : laser496.svx (1008 events 
  layer 2 is off - skip first event)              
  Wedge 3 east : laser497.svx (1008 events 
  layer 0 and 2 are off  
 
 just having fun here with Pepe ... next time 
we have something going badly here we will just 
take the Glance glass cleaner by Johnson and Johnson 
and we will "crear the ploblem"</pre>

These runs have now been copied to the directory:
/cdf/data03/s1/hardware/svxii/b4_specialruns.
The file /cdf/data03/s1/hardware/svxii/B4runs.readme 
contains the information about these files.

the directory above refers to the fcdfsgi2 node.

Tried to run run control (partition 1) and b0fib00 and
b0svx00 were in error (yellow color on panel).
Called Steve Nahn (called Steve Hahn by mistake
first...).  Steve N. said:

on a new window on svxii
> xmcm b0fib00
  - new window pops up (black and red)
    type "i" in the new window
     - this will give a list of processes
        and one of them is "SUSPENDED".
    type "reboot" and this will fix it.

> xmcm b0svx00
   -new window pops up,  repeat above instructions.

We did this.  We killed RC, restarted from fresh window.  We reloaded hardware chip params (w/ dynamic thresold 1). 
Partition 1 is still active!  We killed process and started
again.  RC worked ok now (Partition 5 this time).

Sorry about submitting the above twice, the first time there were
no linebreaks!

<pre>Run 101713 had error (RXPT done timeout) crate b0svx02. 
After 9444 events.  We did coldstart, new run started. 
 
Run 101714 calibration same conditions (DPS on, no beam). 
  10939 events, ended well. 
 
Now we wrote chip params again with dynamic thresold 0 
 (DPS off). 
 
We restart RC because we are NOT SURE that the old RC 
picks up the new HW database!  Does it??? 
 
Run 101715 calibration DPS off (otherwise same as 101714).

101713 appears as 101712 in the run summary.  We (silicon shiftees) are sure that it was 101713 in the RC when ran it.
This is the run that had the crate 2 "done timeout" error
after 9k events.
<!-- Comment: Tue Oct 17 21;09;56 comment by...Lina Naho Amit -->
Run 101713 appears in the run summary as a calorimeter run.
Very strange, should be investigated!
<!-- Comment: Tue Oct 17 21;26;40 comment by...Naho, Lina, Amit -->
Never mind, run numbers appear to be ok.
<!-- Comment: Tue Oct 17 22;44;58 comment by...Alan Sill -->
To make sure that RUn Control picks up the new conditions, select &QUOT;Refresh from Hardware Database&QUOT; from the &QUOT;Parameters&QUOT; menu in the main RC window.

<pre>Conditions for calibrations runs 
101714: DPS on, thresh 5, BW 5, read-all, 
calib cont. svx396,bias on, no beam, 4 ladders 
off (L3-2E-2-26, L2-2E-3-39, L0-2E-3-39, L2-2E-2-38). 
 
101715: same as 101714, except DPS off.

<pre>Ten Bucks to whoever can figure out how to get rid of the annoying "Bookmarks have changed and are being saved to disk" message that keeps popping up and needs to be "ok"'ed.</pre>

I'll raise it to $20.


<!-- Comment: Wed Oct 18 10;22;52 comment by...Rob -->
<BR><BR>This error message occurs because there are multiple people using
<BR>the same account (svxii).  A long term solution would be to set
<BR>up a second account for the shift crew (svxii2 ?), but for the 
<BR>short term one of you can ssh to another computer and run your
<BR>netscape from there.
<!-- Comment: Wed Oct 18 15;30;40 comment by...koichi -->
Here is very bad idea. <BR>
You copy this file,  "/usr/bin/netscape-communicator" into <BR>
the home area. Then, edit so that it changes  <BR>
"browser.bookmark_file" preference in <BR> "~/.netscape/preferences.js" according to the host <BR>
you're runnig the netscape. But here is a problem. <BR>
As far as I know, every time you finish the netscape, <BR>
the netscape will update their prefereces which you were <BR>
using. So, there is no gurantee that your prefecenes or <BR>
changes what you made in your session will be saved when <BR>
you finish the netscape. Because, someone after you, <BR>
of course, overwrite this file. Then, your preferences <BR>
is gone for good. As long as the netscape complain <BR>
about the bookmarks when it finds that the bookmarks <BR> 
has been updated, this should be OK, despite of <BR>
the bad idea. <BR> 
P.S. I will forget this if I were you. <BR>

By the way, I fixed it!!!!!
