7. 7 Calorimeters LED monitoring overview LHCb week meeting 7.03.06 Anatoli Konoplyannikov Case when the LED triggering cables are different, clear fibers in each group are different too but with the same length in the group (ECAL). 1.Set all FE Delay Chips in the middle of range (12 ns). It means to fix an ADC sampling time. 2.Collect ADC data of PMTs and PIN diodes incrementing delay of the LED triggering pulse by 1 ns in a needed range for each PMT group fired by one LED. 3. Analyze the collected data and calculate the needed delay values for Delay chips, taken into account a mean HV value into the group, difference of clear fiber length and a particle time of flight versus an angle distribution. 4.Set correct values to all FE Delay Chips. Two possibility of the time normalization: measure the cable length; use PIN diode response.

8. 8 LHCb CALO meeting 14.02.07 Anatoli Konoplyannikov /ITEP/ Calorimeters LED control Detector signals relative time alignment algorithm and first realization Online run control panel for making delay scan. DIM interface PVSS to CAT was developed by Frederic with a callable from ECS a DAQ TimeScan function. Then a dedicated panel for making delay scan has been designed. CAT Time Scan process parameters: channel – up to four sequential channels of one FE board can be specified. Number collected evens – up to 100 events. Format of the output data is a sequence of a mean ADC value, RMS of distribution and so on for next channels. Software tool for data collection in “spy mode” Needed improvement: parameter channel must be more flexible and include crate, module and channel numbers (up to 40 to match with a max number of PMT’s in one group)

The developed tool is based on the CERN ROOT package.

13. 13 LHCb CALO meeting 14.02.07 Anatoli Konoplyannikov /ITEP/ Calorimeters LED control March commissioning test It seems realistic to start the ECAL and HCAL relative time alignment test with the “spy DAQ mode” in March in condition very closed to final. What we will need: Hardware: 1.PC in barrack D2 with needed software (already installed); 2.LV power supplies for the CW’s powering (we have one device and it can be placed into the ECAL or HCAL – C rack ); 3.100 V and 30 V PS’s exist, but not clear where to put them in March (cables?); 4.Specs cables from the barrack to patch panel exist and may be a few temporary cables from patch panel to detector will be needed. Software: 1.The CAT Timing Scan process must be updated (if possible); 2.PVSS HV and LED control software must be extended for controlling a half of the sub – detectors; 3.PVSS LV and MV power supplies control software must be adapted (partial done); 4.Scanning data analysis tool has to be improved.

14. 14 Calorimeters LED control LHCb week meeting 29.11.06 Anatoli Konoplyannikov Conclusion & Planning Prototypes of the software tools for making relative time alignment have been developed. The procedure of the relative time alignment was tested and the result seems optimistic. Next step is a test in the Pit in March.
