| 2017-08-24 | Tsutomu Daisuke | Cross Talk | We took some data with ROI=200 | |
| 2017-08-23 | Daisuke, Alicia, Gustavo | Climate Chamber test | we observed that IPRs were very unstable when the ambient temperature is as high as 40 deg. | short summary |
| 2017-08-22 | Leyre, Gustavo | Trigger Calibration | We reviewed the algorithm of the binary search because there was a bug in the previous version. We tested it in the camera and found some other bugs to be corrected. | |
| 2017-08-22 | Daisuke Alicia Tsutomu Gustavo | Climate Chamber | We will be performing the same test tomorrow with one of the spare trigger mezzanine. | Gustavo made a good configuration setting of BP such that BP propagate back L1 to its own CONFIGURE_BP 1 12 0x0099 CONFIGURE_BP 1 11 0xFFFF CONFIGURE_BP 1 11 0x0000 CONFIGURE_BP 1 3 0x0000 CONFIGURE_BP 1 4 0x0000 CONFIGURE_BP 1 5 0x0000 CONFIGURE_BP 1 6 0x8001 CONFIGURE_BP 1 8 0x0000 CONFIGURE_BP 1 10 0x0000 CONFIGURE_BP 1 24 0x0000 |
| 2017-08-22 | Daisuke Alicia Tsutomu | Climate Chamber | We performed the test | Temperature HV TP charge |
| 2017-08-21 | Alicia, Daisuke, Tsutomu | Climate Chamber | We have configured the climate chamber as follows, 1) go to 60 degree over 1 hour (~0.5deg/sec), 2) stay at 60 deg. for 10 min, 3) go down to 20 deg. in 45 min (~1deg/min). We have prepared a script which, 1) Take TP data (1000events), 2) turn ON HV (@1000V), 3) wait for 1min, 4) turn OFF, 5) wait for 1min, during the entire period. Fundamental pedestal table (with Taka's old method )was created just before we start the test. Experiment was successful however, due to the power-saving setting of Daisuke's macbook pro, monitoring was done only some partial time,,, we will repeat tomorrow again the same test | TemperatureLog of the chamber SCB temperature HV val TP charge Link down at 12:46 ( at 11:46 in UTC) |
| 2017-08-21 | Gustavo | A new comer | Gustavo has joined to the IAC crew | |
| 2017-08-21 | Leyre | L1 problem in cluster 9 | L1 adder of cluster 9 can not be reseted. | |
| 2017-08-17 | Daisuke, Tsutomu | Strange data | Something is strange | Short Summary |
| 2017-08-16 | Leyre, Christobal, Daisuke, Tsutomu | Calibration | Debugging of the Barcelona software for the calibration | |
| 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 |

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 convenience10.1.0.54 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

echo Done for $i

| 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 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 | |

| 2017-08-02 | Dirk, Julien, Daisuke Tsutomu, Riccardo | Okinawa | Isocpu setting of CPU, all cores except 0,2,4,6,8,10 are isolated to be used only for EVB | |
| 2017-08-02 | Dirk, Julien, Daisuke Tsutomu | TIB firmware | Updated to the newest one | |

| 2017-08-01 | Dirk, Julien, Daisuke Tsutomu | EVB test | The new dragon firmware (dv5_1_0d_00, byte swapped) flushed to all modules | |
| 2017-07-31 | Alicia et al | MiniCamera setup | 19 modules are mounted, 2 without trigger mezzanine | google doc |
