Since there will be no beam for about one hour, the data taking in RSAs has been stopped.

NTCAP was stopped and restarted.

Started both RSAs for the tuning of the ESR to 188Hf. Both pockets are in parking position OUTSIDE.

All data acquisitions (both RSAs and NTCAP) are now running.

first file name RSA01....17.38 onwards.

DAQ stopped with last file in RSA1-2025.04.04.17.58.49.340.tiq

Now the plan is to change one of the analyzers to narrow band recording for longer from the 245 Schotkky. 

new settings:
1.8 seconds recording on 245 MHz on RSA02

starting from file name:

2025.04.04.18.36.32.895


settings are in the attachment

2025-04-05 15:25
Stop the RSA02 looper script to change the settings of analysis

we removed the wrong entries from the PKL file, and restarted the looper script for RSA02.

important change:

nframes = 84 
lframes = 131072
navg = 4



here are the new parameters:

# Config file for the multiprocessing looper script

[paths]
monitor_dir = "/data.local/G22-00018_00203/data/analyzers/RSA02"
output_dir = "/data.local/G22-00018_00203/results/analyzers/RSA02"
state_file = "/data.local/G22-00018_00203/scripts/e0018_e0203_scripts/processed_files_rsa2.pkl"

[processing]
num_cores = 12
interval_seconds = 0.5
file_ready_seconds = 0.5

[analysis]
nframes = 84 
lframes = 131072
navg = 4
zzmin = 0
zzmax = 1e6
mask = false
dbm = false
todo = ['spectrum', 'spectrogram'] # choose any of or combination 'png', 'spectrum', 'spectrogram'

NTCAP and analysers are stopped at 17:00.Iris goes inside to move the detectors 

NTCAP restarted 17:43

we have 63% full on bank 2 of the NAS
which means about 11% every day
this gives us roughly another 3 days of recording time
we can always switch to bank 1, but changing that, needs changing the analysis paths. so for now, we continue on bank2

:-)

RSAs had to stop because the cycle of 1.8 came too often, both analyzers could not catch up with the file transfer.


changed to 1.7 seconds

last file in the 1.8 setting:

RSA01-2025.04.05.18.20.46.005
RSA02-2025.04.05.18.20.43.346


new filenames from the 1.7 s settings:

RSA01-2025.04.05.18.28.12.146.tiq

new analysis settings:

[analysis]
nframes = 80
lframes = 131072
avg = 4




Explanation:

every file has 10625050 samples with 1.7 seconds length
sampling rate: 6.25 MSPS
this means every sample is worth: 1.6e-7 seconds
this means every frame with length of 2^17 samples will have a time length of: 21 ms
finally with an averaging of 4 frames into one, this means that every time frame in the NPZ file will have 80ms length



frequency setting

please see attached pictures.

Deleted 14 TB of unused spectrum.npz files from APPC, so that there is more disk space.

switched off the production of .tiq_spectrum.npz files to save disk space in the looper script



Explanation:

.tiq_spectrogram.npz —> 3D NPZ files, that can be used for add up and create small 2D "spectrum" file for RionID

.tiq_spectrum.npz —> 2D NPZ files with super high resolution, noone needs them up to now

NTCAP restarted with new timestamp.

changed storage place to bank 1 of the NAS
restarted the NTCAP with new address
restarted Analyzers with new address
restarted the queqiao script
restarted looper scripts

new files on RSAs start from:

2025-04-07 15:23 onwards

new files on NTCAP have their corresponding time stamp on the directory

new DAQ Settings for the RSAs:

414475588 （192Pb+82   at 214 harmonic）
244.03689

plunger settings: 410 MHz cavity--> 8
245MHz cavity --> 350


recording at 50 MSPS
2^16 points each frame -->  1ms per frame

Average set to: 5 frames --> total of ca. 6.5 ms per average frame

first good NPZ file from this settings on RSAs starts from 17:41

changed 410 resonance frequency back to 213th harmonic
plunger 20

center freq:

412.537 MHz

first good files in this setting are 18:16 onwards.

everything else remains same like last time.

changed 410 resonance frequency back to 212th harmonic
plunger 33

center freq:

410,600 MHz

first good files in this setting are 18:36 onwards.

everything else remains same like last time.

changed 410 resonance frequency back to plunger 8
245 MHz plunger stays at 350


center freq:
410 at 414.474 MHz
245 at 244.000 MHz

first good files in this setting are 18:51 onwards.

everything else remains same like last time.
