<pre>SvxMon is still giving us empty histograms when we try to analyze 
data off-line.  (Alan even tried it with the rawhide release this 
morning to no avail.)  When it runs we get a plethora of each of 
the following types of error messages: 
 
================================================================= 
SVXMon processed 985 events 
SiVrbInfoSet: chip status error, VRB 19 PC 2 HDI 2 
. 
. 
. 
================================================================= 
WARNING in SvxMonStripHisto : histogram requested but no data for 
Barrel 1 halfLadder 0 phiWedge 0 layer 2 side 1 
================================================================= 
 
The former occurs during the processing, while the latter all 
occur right at the end.</pre>

<BR>
<BR>Igor seems to think this is a problem with the .tcl file used <BR>by SvxMon.  Since the .tcl was generated by the 
<BR>
<I>svxmon_offline</I> script this needs to be investigated as a <BR>possible source of the error.

<pre>Database pedestal association was fixed for a couple selected 
entries by J.C., new ped VALID_SETS associations will be 
explained by Jack et al in email at a later time.  For now, a 
new one was set up (7 as opposed to 999) corresponding to run 
101260 which was BW=2, DPS=on, 396, bias=on, calib continuous. 
 
At the moment the only runs associated with this in the  
database are runs 101403 (00018c1b) 101405 (00018c1d).  Use 
these for offline analysis, they should now get the right peds. 
 
New peds will be generated (from 101458) and associated 
(VALID_SETS tba) at a later date.

The process name that was defined yesterday is SVX_DPS_B_TH5_BW5.
This is what the offline users should specify in their talk-to
for the CalibrationManager.

(Although I thought this was for BandWidth=5 and not 2...)

I made a new set of bad channels for barrel 4. It is written to the 
online development database, table name SVXDH, run number 100276, 
version number 3. 
 
The algorithm to find the bad channels is similar to the previous 
version but not identical. This is how it looks like now: 
 
1) Find the median noise over all strips on each side of each 
   half-ladder, N_hl. For ladders on layer 5 use the 25th percentile 
   instead of the median because the number of noisy channels on these 
   ladder is very large. Require that 0.5 ADC counts < N_hl < 4.5 ADC counts. 
   If not, tag all strips on this half-ladder side as bad. Essentially, 
   this cut just tags dead ladders. 
 
2) Find the median noise for each chip on a given half-ladder side, N_c. 
   On layer 5 use the 25th percentile instead of the median. Require that 
   0.7 < N_c/N_hl < 1.3. If the chip fails this requirement, tag all strips 
   on this chip as bad. 
 
3) The ratio between the strip noise, N_s, and the chip noise must be 
   within certain limits: 0.7 < N_s/N_c < 1.2. If not, tag the strip as bad. 
 
4) The difference between the strip pedestal, P_s, and the median chip 
   pedestal, P_c, must be between -5 and 4 ADC counts. 
 
5) The strip occupancy in the DPS mode with the threshold setting of 
   10 ADC counts must not exceed 2%. 
 
6) If there are 3 or more sequential strips which fail requirements 3 or 5, 
   an additional strip is tagged as bad on each side of this sequence. This 
   requirement suppresses channels with excessive amount of noise in 
   pinhole shoulders. 
 
Requirements 1 through 4 use the stand-alone DAQ run A20000923113059. 
Requirement 5 uses CDF run 100184. 
 
This algorithm is more stringent than any previous version. For barrel 4 
8394 strips are tagged as bad (out of 22528). The quality maps can be 
found on the web at

Oops, sorry. This somehow got carried over from one of the preliminary
versions. This requirement number 5 looks like this:

The strip occupancy in the DPS mode must not exceed 2% when the
threshold is set to 3.29 times the chip noise N_c (this corresponds to
0.05% in the upper tail of the Gaussian distribution).
