2017-08-14	Daisuke, Tsutomu	Analysis	Analysis of cross-talk data (Tsutomu) and EVB data(Tsutomu + Daisuke) on going.
2017-08-14	Daisuke, Tsutomu	Climate Chamber Test	Necessary softwares (e.g. ClusCo etc.) are installed into Daisuke's laptop virtual machine(SL6). Scripts are more or less ready.
2017-08-11	Daisuke, Tsutomu, Alicia	Cross Talk study	We several sets of data for studying cross talk.
2017-08-10	Daisuke, Tsutomu, Alicia	Dragon firmware	We flushed old firmware to all Dragon boards. Fundamental Pedestal table look very healthy.
2017-08-10	Daisuke, Tsutomu, Alicia	Strange Fundamental Pedestal table	Something must be wrong.	https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6V4naKAxXfULVpHMElVaU1OQ2M
2017-08-10	Daisuke, Tsutomu, Alicia	TIB setting	Following three lines added in test_python_script.sh python ${py_dir}/disable_software_trigger.py python ${py_dir}/disable_mono.py python ${py_dir}/disable_slow_control_trigger.py It seems the initial ModeMask setting has changed in the new TIB firmware, and we need to explicitly disable SOFT/MONO/SLOW triggers when we want to use AUTOPEDESTAL trigger
2017-08-10	Daisuke, Tsutomu, Alicia	Climate Chamber	We have visited IAC climate chamber room, and explained what we want to do to the person responsible. We reserved the room on 21st, 22nd, temperature range 20 deg. to 60 deg, 10deg step, 1 hour per step,humidity 15% (or lower).	https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6V4naKAxXfUQ1hNQUJrUnZ0b0U Manual
2017-08-09	Daisuke, Tsutomu, Riccardo	Byte swap	Here is the data header of the first event of one dragon event with the newest dragon firmware V5-1-0d aaaa 0000 8c15 000f 0001 0000 0001 0000 4bcd 00cf 0000 0000 dddd dddd dddd dddd Event/trigger numbers are both "0001 0000". Is this what we wanted? In order to express 1, Before : 0100 0000 After the byte swap (current situation) : 0001 0000 We thought it would have been: 0000 0001	This was our misunderstanding, sorry.
2017-08-09	Daisuke, Tsutomu, Riccardo	Cross Talk measurement	In order to investigate cross talks, we prepared a mask to cover all modules except the central one.	https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6V4naKAxXfURmxzWjNNWExvU3M
2017-08-08	Dirk, Daisuke Tsutomu	EVB	Plots to demonstrate the importance of timeout duration, fast re-transmission option (still preliminary, more data points with slightly different condition will be added)	https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6V4naKAxXfUajN3X3FFbkYtNVU
2017-08-08	Dirk, Daisuke Tsutomu	OPCUA	Following host names added in /etc/hosts for convenience 10.1.0.54 okinawa-10g-1 10.1.11.201 okinawa-10g-2 10.1.12.201 okinawa-10g-3 10.1.0.250 okinawa-1g 10.1.0.83 tib
2017-08-08	Dirk, Daisuke Tsutomu	OPCUA	A small problem we found is reported https://forge.in2p3.fr/issues/20103
2017-08-08	Dirk, Daisuke Tsutomu	Strange Triggers??	We can not reproduce the strange behaviour we saw yesterday...	An email sent from Daisuke to the email thread [climate chamber at IAC]
2017-08-08	Dirk, Daisuke	Forgotten NIC	Dirk forgot to bring back their 2×10Gb NIC from okinawa. We should keep track of them. If really necessary, they will ask us to ship them.
2017-08-07	Dirk, Daisuke Tsutomu, Riccardo	Additional Dragon setting	wrb 0xFFFFFF10 3 (Enables fast re-transmission) wrs 0xFFFFFF2E 1 (Set time-out duration to 1ms)	Temporally we are doing like as follows, but should be implemented in future in ClusCo. for i in $(scanIP | \ awk '/Bee.Beans/ {print $1}') do rbcp $i 4660 << EoCommands rd 0xFFFFFF10 1 wrb 0xFFFFFF10 3 rd 0xFFFFFF10 1 rd 0xFFFFFF2E 4 wrs 0xFFFFFF2E 1 rd 0xFFFFFF2E 4 quit EoCommands echo Done for $i done
2017-08-07	Dirk, Daisuke	Strange Triggers??	We discovered today that sometime module 14,15 and 18 created ~4 MHz of L1 external triggers by its own when temperature is high. Very strange behaviour, need to be investigated further. Attached are screenshots, we have injected periodic trigger at 1kHz, but only some modules got very high trigger rate.	https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6V4naKAxXfUTl8xcXR4VXYzY0k https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6V4naKAxXfUeVdlNF9vLXlVZ1E

2017-08-04	Dirk, Julien, Daisuke Tsutomu, Riccardo	EVB Cold start	Daisuke can start EVB from the beginning.	HowToRunEVB
2017-08-04	Dirk, Julien, Daisuke Tsutomu, Riccardo	EVB test	Two 10GSFP+ links from the switch to the camera server. we could take up to 88 kHz periodic trigger!
2017-08-04	Dirk, Julien, Daisuke Tsutomu, Riccardo	EVB test	Throughput measurements with Random/Poisson triggers, FastRetransmission option, Timeout duration	https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hc_JQFFzJYI-o9oFybhmTCVDvkSL2t5UxaX7MgLj9qs/edit?usp=sharing
2017-08-03	Dirk, Julien, Daisuke Tsutomu, Riccardo	EVB test	Julien found an interesting SiTCP option :Fast retrains, second bit of the address 0xFFFFFF10. (Default is off). With this option re-transmission time is automatically optimised!
2017-08-03	Dirk, Julien, Daisuke Tsutomu, Riccardo	EVB test	We understood the SiTCP parameter for the timeout duration of re-transmission (0xFFFFFF2E). This should be optimised with respect to the real RTT
2017-08-03	Dirk, Julien, Daisuke Tsutomu, Riccardo	EVB test	Dragon buffer size consistent with Takayuki's report 88 events
2017-08-03	Dirk, Julien, Daisuke Tsutomu, Riccardo	EVB test	No event/trigger number mismatch both with periodic and poissonian triggers. TIB new firmware seems good
