4. Changes to Shifter Training
19-April-05
Changes to Shifter Training
Moved training to Pt5
Classroom training in meeting room
With laptop project slides and/or real-time views of shifter pages
Point where training could be improved
Assistance with language
Often with training in English for non-native speakers question go unasked and misunderstanding is too common
Set requirements on 1st time shifters and returning shifters
More formal shifter certification?
Now training is required
Require minimum of training and hands on shift training for shift to count
Sit as 2nd shifter for part of a shift to complete certification
Who certifies? Now> Me, Richard
Need someone to conduct training who is based at CERN

5. Shift Changes – c(entral)DCS
19-April-05
Shift Changes – c(entral)DCS
Moved CSC Shifter DCS to cDCS
Moved DCS procedures out of CSCOperations and
Into CSCOperationsDCS for cDCS
Moving DCS procedures to pdf file
Hypertext linked file – quick navigation
In pdf format – fixed and changeable only by experts
See version 1.0
Status so far
cDCS has control since Thursday
All alarms addressed at cDCS station
cDCS shifter AND CSC shifter together address alarms and problems
When is DCS Back to CSC?
CEO and Experts fixing problems, calibrations and other special operations

7. Top Level Procedures for CSC DCS
19-April-05
Top Level Procedures for CSC DCS
CEO Level Alarms
Shifter Level Alarms
Subsystem Panel
Alarm <RED> indicates problem in all or one end of CSC
Contact CEO
Check if cDCS has infrastructure alarms
Majority Logic
Alarm <RED> indicates that a significant percentage of CSC devices are in alarm
HV, LV, FEDS
Alarm <RED> indicates that a major component of the HV, LV or FEDS is in alarm
Do NOT turn these back on – ONLY expert should correct
End View
Multiple chambers or crates in Alarm <RED> – indicates there may be a major problem – check bottom of the display – Contact CEO
Single chamber or crate in Alarm <RED> indicates chamber or crate has a single device in error – CSC Shifter follow detailed procedure
Communication Status
Alarm <RED> monitor, if it does not clear itself after 5 minutes contact CEO
NOTE: Question marks ‘?’ will also appear on End View
Value Monitor
This is a diagnostic panel
Shifter hourly cycle through displays and follow detailed procedures

Version for CSC
Divides CSC into several parts
Authored by Valdas
Local DQM display has added features
Known problem list and comparison
Filtering of severity of errors
Reference run comparison
Status -
Shifters have been putting runs into RR
Shifters have been grading runs in RR
NEED expert(s) to review and sign off each run

New DQM Features
NOTE – The light grey are filtered out errors
The blue are the same as for the reference run
The Hot Pink are KNOWN PROBLEMS
The DQM display has new features
Compare to run > REAPEATING_PROBLEMS > when current has same problem
KNOWN_PROBLEM > compares to a list of known problems

Action
NOTE – The example ME-2/1/02 is BLUE because it has the exact same problems as for the reference run. Since the display is filtered we see only the CRITICAL chambers
These ‘CRITICAL’ CSC problems are not a ‘Known Problem’
Enter the problem’s messages into the RR

Action (cont.)
These ‘CRITICAL’ CSC problems are the same as for the reference run
Do not enter into the ELOG
If these CRITICAL problems were new for this run it should be entered into the ELOG

Summary
Shift training is more formal
New documentation has been put in place for cDCS and Run Registry
Is there enough documentation for shifters?
NO, need to push experts to provide operation manuals.
What is the progress on validation by shifters?
CSC RR is being used by shifters to grade CSC for runs
Are the main goals of shifts being achieved?
Yes, CSC is running well. The safety of the detector has been assured.
