<pre>Friday - Integration day. 
Plan: Run with b0ccal 0,1, 6,7 14,15, east plug. 
Later, add b0cmu00(9 TDCs), b0mutr00, XFT, if all 
gies well. 
Start with harware event builder ... 
Will try to run T%RIGMON and  the Event Display 
 
</pre>


<!-- Date: Fri May 12 10:13:15 2000 -->
<pre>Run 92310, partition 0 
Software Event Builder 
central cal crates 0,1,6,7,8,9,14,15 
All level 1 cal trigger crates are in 
All level 2 cal trigger crates except 01 are in 
b0cot08 is inn  
running event display using ~csl/mon on b0dap30 
SumET thresholds  of 1 and 10 GeV. 
We alwaays trigger on the lower threshold and see 
no energy   in the event display. 
Stop  the run for analysis - found  3 bad trigger  
cables, masking of dirac in slot 6, b0l1cl00 (CHA phi=0, eta=9, reads  20) 
</pre>

<!-- Date: Fri May 12 10:17:20 2000 -->
<pre>Run 92311, partition 0 
Bad cables from previous run still not 
masked ... plug crates 06 - 10 now included. 
b0pcal11 not included as it always reports 
BUSY -- no Retrun cable?? 
Diagnostic output enabled, i.e. TMPD bank 
with bunch counters, readout times, etc. 
</pre>

<!-- Date: Fri May 12 10:18:32 2000 -->
<pre>  Running with SVX. Reading out 11 VRBs, SIXD bank. 
Data are read out with hardware Event Builder and reformatted. 
Reformatter opinion is not checked yet. 
</pre>

<pre>Run 92313, partion 0 
Software event builder  
Same crates as above (+ scalers) 
TRIGMON running !!   
Event builder runnning. 
Trigger thresholds: single tower = 6  GeV 
                          SumET1 = 2  GeV 
                          SumET2 = 10 GeV           
 
Never see any activity in b0ccal09, EM section 
Event Display dies ... restart. 
Arnd compares bunch counters between plug  
and central admem cards and sees plug cards are  
synchronized with each other but differ from  
central crates by 6 clock ticks - we are checking  
to see if the pipeline offesets are set to the central 
values 
 
phi  19,20, east central hadron showing no activity 
cem east wedges 3 - 5 shows nothing either  - Steve Hahn 
says they are not connected. 
 
Stop  run after 150,000 events to check ADMEM offsets 
 
</pre>

<!-- Date: Fri May 12 12:06:29 2000 -->
<pre>New cosmic run.  Adding a couple of  
wall calorimeter crates (b0ecal02, b0ecal03) 
to check the timing. 
 
Had troubles starting run -- Arnd suspects 
RT server glitches. 
 
Run Number = 92317, partition =0 
Stop run after 6,648  events to check  
bunch counters -- We find the wall bunch  
counters agree with the central, and some  
of the plug bunch counters agree.  A look  
to  the database shows several crates have  
ADMEM offsets entered incorrectly. 
 
DIRAC seeing no trigger information from pcal06

<!-- Date: Fri May 12 12:28:07 2000 -->
<pre>New run - All calorimeter pipeline offsets 
now set correctly in database courtesy of 
Bill Badgett. 
 
Running with just plug to look for  
triggers.  Bunch crossing triggers only! 
 
 
Event Display is rejecting PHAD channels, says Bill B. 
 
CalDataMaker::DtoTOWE()  CellKey is inValid: 
CellKey made from BNK_Cal_Key

<pre>Can't get anything from the plug. 
Switching to wall while we wait for  
experts. 
 
Run with b0ecal02,03 
 
Run Number  92321=, partiton =0 
 
Lots of  triggers, presumably from    
the known light leaks -- We found one  
tower that always triggers.  Masking  it 
off. 
End run with 32,000 triggers  
</pre>

<!-- Date: Fri May 12 14:41:04 2000 -->
<pre>New cosmic run. 
Masked off phi =21, trigger_eta=7, hadronic 
trigger from wall 
 
Run with same wall crates as above 
 
DONE  timeout stops run before  it starts 
~/.vxmonlog shows lost connections to  
most crates in the partition 
 
Start again with success 
 
Run Number = 92323, partition = 0  
 
TRIGMION shows all triggers going all the  
time. 
 
Found hot trigger tower: wall hadron west, phi=21, eta=10 
 
Masked and run again - few false starts: after restarting run control, sveb, random crates would not respond. 
Start finally, run 92327, looks ok, with triggers from wcal_02 and 03.  Ended after ~7200 events.

<pre>Switching to Hardware event builder. 
Trying to run one more time with  
the plug.  Also, adding crate b0cmu00 for readout test. 
The harware event builder (reformatter) 
does not like this crate!

In the  process of switching to Hardware event builder. 
Trying to run one more time with  
the plug with softEVB.  Also, adding crate b0cmu00 for readout test.

Running very slowly --only BC triggers. 
 
Run Number = 92329 (?), partition = 0

<pre>   Running with hardware Event Builder and muons: 
We used two crates 
   CMU_WEST_00 and DAQ_MUON_TRIGGER_00 
The trigger crates appears to be ok while the CMU_WEST_00 
causes reformatter errors. Reformatter sees problem with  
CMUD bank. Here is a segment of a raw event: 
0x44550043  0x01004d00  0x00000400 
Notice, that the bank name is CM_D instead of CMUD, 
and the third word

<pre>Ilya starting a run with Hardware Event Builder. 
(Rebooting  b0l1cl00  again...)  
Run includes central (0,1,6,7,8,9,14,15)  
wall (2,3), and plug (6,7,8,9,10) crates as 
well as cmu00 and mutr00, cot08  
 
run number = 92331, partition =1 
 
No cal triggers, BC  only!  This is visible from  
TRIGMON as well as offline analyses. 
 
We are going to try again with a cold atart. 
 
First, Ilya takes out  
 
all central and plug crates. 
 
Here's the full list  of crates from the above run --

<pre>Last cosmic ray run is the longest with the real event builder for a long time: 
 
- components: ccal 8,9,14,15 
              l1 cal 1,2,3,4,5 
              l2 cal 0,2,3,4,5 
              scalers 
              pcal 6,7,8,9,10 
 
- runs from around 6pm to 21:16. Then BUSY timeout is reported. 
 
- 865000 events

... worth a comment: it was even possible to end the run without any component falling over
