13 Short summary….. ******************************************* 15.00: start of shift 15.04: Recovered module Crate 22 Ch 4 which showed a trip error : end of run :05 Expert takes over DAQ to investigate XXX 18:30 DAQ tests concluded. The result is that blah blah blah... and more blah, blah, blah… Changes have been applied, blah, blah, blah… 18.40: SCT on stand-by 19.17: Start of Physics run : SCT on during LB : Monitoring the number of errors, stable and around 20-30,see separate report from MON shifter. … 21.12: Run Try a short cosmics run again (8 bins, 1000 triggers, timeout 60s) Result status -> no fail, but quite a few problematic modules? …

26 Data shows different options depending on the kind of display selected (Module Configuration in this case) Views: Geometry and ROD crates List of: Barrels/Wheels or Crates in the configuration Different module groups Each of the squares is a module

27 Example: SCT View SIDE Coordinates of the module under the mouse 0 – No Data 1 – Bad Data 2 – CLK/2 a – Corrupt Data A – ABCD Error code C – Config Readback mode E – Returning events J – Junk Data O – Other

28 You can access to the different menus using the toolbar or with a right click on the empty part of the screen - Module Configuration: Change modules in the configuration - Probe Data: Check for modules with errors and recover them. Using this display you can perform actions like Power Cycle, Reset, Configure… - Data Manager: Allows you to access to results and plots from a test - Test Results: Show test results for all the modules - DCS Conditions: Several of the DCS parameters related with the modules are available through the SctGui (Temperature, LV, HV,...)

29 How to check the ROD which is BUSY? Right Click at the TIM Module and select TTC Status - If Right Click on any of the Crates a menu will show three possibilities: - Clear Latch - Mask ROD Busy - Raise ROD error (manual stop-less removal) : Use this one if a busy appears and is not picked up by the automatic removal Only do this if DAQ EXPERT (162034) ask you to do it TTC Status

30 - In SctGui : Tools Menu  Physics Mode Scan - Need to be in Physics mode (standalone) or in ATLAS partition - Uses triggers to acquire events, number of events and crates can be selected - Results are displayed in the SctGui – Test Results Physics Mode

54 ON/OFF flag shows when FSI laser is ON (light in SCT), in the Barrel and/or both End-caps. Note FSI laser is usually ON, even when FSI partition is not running. Access under: SCT -> INFRASTRUCTURE -> FSI History plots show peak and mean power in each SCT region: fibres 0 & 1 are Barrel, fibres 2 & 3 are both End-caps.
