  107   Tue Mar 31 20:32:05 2020 RaganGeneral203Tl80+ 200Hg79+ 205Tl81+
Below in the schottky spectrum, on left is 203Tl80+ contamination, in middel is 200Hg79+ contamination and on right most is 205Tl81+.
These contaminations cannot be seen on CsISiPHOS but can only be seen on schottky.
The goal now is to get rid of these contaminations by putting slits.
  108   Tue Mar 31 20:50:05 2020 RaganGeneral200Hg79+ 205Tl81+
203Tl80+ impurity is removed by moving scrapper inside ESR.
Only 220Hg79+ is left now
  109   Tue Mar 31 21:07:05 2020 RaganGeneralSeparation of 203Tl80+ and 200Hg79+ using scrapper in ESR
It can be seen in the video how 203Tl80+ (on extreme left) and then 200Hg79+ (in middle originally) is separted from 205Tl81+ by using scrapper in ESR.
Now, we want 205Pb81+ mixed with 205Tl81+ to be separated as much as possible in FRS.
  113   Thu Apr 2 02:36:48 2020 RaganGeneralStochastic cooling and orbit problem
On 1 April by 5 pm, we could stop the stochastic cooling after the stacking process and also change the orbit of the Tl beam to centre. 
Thanks to the efforts by the ESR team !

From Yury,

For now, measure the beam life time with 3 different electron current in the e-cooler,i.e. 200mA(default), 10mA, and 20mA. For each current, 4 sets of 30mins long measurements shall be taken.

Starting from 9pm Helmut and Sergey will come for setting up FRS

  4   Fri Dec 7 10:56:04 2018 Jan GloriusSlowControlEPICS ioc on raspberry
We have an EPCIS server (ioc) running on our raspberry (ext-027377). It talks to our MesyTec modules (MSCF shapers, MHV4 high-voltages).
In principal it should be running all the time, but here is the manual how to check/start it:

-login on GSI-linux using <litv-exp> user
-type in console: e121pi (alias for: 'ssh -X litv-exp@ext-027377.gsi.de')
-open the "mrcc" screen session: screen -x mrcc
-if the ioc is running you will see here terminal outputs like:

Quote:
cbLow: Active ringpi:mrcc:mhv2:getRcStatus
cbLow: Active ringpi:mrcc:mhv2:getCurrent1

-if this is not the case, you have to restart the ioc:
- <Ctrl>+c to end any running ioc (if it has errors)
- the command to start the ioc: e121_ioc (alias for '/home/litv-exp/epics/mrcc_ioc/bin/linux-arm/mrcc /home/litv-exp/epics/mrcc_ioc/iocBoot/iocmrcc/start_ringpi.cmd')
- now the terminal outputs should be as quoted above (errors show up in red)

- finally <Ctrl>+a d to exit the screen session
  5   Fri Dec 7 11:39:41 2018 Jan GloriusSlowControlGUI for remote control of MSCF+MHV4
We have a GUI for remote controlling our MesyTec modules MSCF16 and MHV4 for E121 experiment.

Here is the instructions to run it:

1. login to GSI-linux using <litv-exp> user
2. get the EPICS environment by typing in terminal: epicsfind
3. type in terminal: GUIe121 (alias for 'medm -x /u/litv-exp/E121/medm/e121.adl')

if you get the message: 'medm: command not found' you didn't load the EPICS environment (2.)

The GUI is more or less self-explaining.
Be sure to follow this procedure when changing a value (e.g. threshold for MSCF):

1. click on small text-panel with value
2. leave mouse pointer inside panel
3. change value by typing
4. press enter
  9   Tue May 28 08:36:14 2019 JanDAQMBS start & RFIO server
You need a DAQ-PC and the RIO crate computer.
All of the DAQ proceedures laid out here are operated from inside the DAQ screen session.
Right now for e121 the following DAQ-setup is used: (might change in the future)

DAQ-PC: lxg0155
screen session: e121_daq @ lxg0155
RIO: r4l-47
DAQ dir: /esr/usr/litv-exp/2019Munich-Det



The most important commands:

on DAQ-PC
mbs - start mbs DAQ
rawDispRFIO64 - start RFIO server

in MBS shell
@startup - initialize MBS (only inside DAQ dir)
@connect - connect RFIO server (only if server running)
@runstart - open file for data writing
@runstop - close file
start acq - start DAQ
show acq - status of DAQ
show file - status of current file/RFIO server




The full proceedure for the DAQ:
  • on DAQ-PC enter screen session:
    litv-exp@lxg____:~$ screen -x e121_daq
    or create new screen session if non is exisiting:
    litv-exp@lxg____:~$ screen -S e121_daq
  • inside screen: go to 1st tab (MBS) and login to RIO if not yet done:
    <Ctrl-a 0>
    litv-exp@lxg____:~$ ssh r4l-47
    
  • on RIO reset and start MBS
    R4L-47 litv-exp > cd 2019Munich-Det
    R4L-47 litv-exp > resl
    R4L-47 litv-exp > mbs
    mbs > @startup
    
  • inside screen go to 2nd tab (RFIO)
    <Ctrl-a 1>
    or create 2nd tab if not exisiting
    <Ctrl-a c>
  • start RFIO server on DAQ-PC
    litv-exp@lxg____:~$ cd /u/litv-exp/rfio
    litv-exp@lxg____:~$ ./rawDispRFIO64-wheezy
    -I- 64 bit RFIO test server (lxg0155) listening on port 1974
        forks './rawServRFIO64-wheezy' for each client request
  • inside screen go to 1st tab and connect MBS to RFIO server
    <Ctrl-a 0>
    mbs > @connect
    mbs> show file
    mbs> -R4L-47  :transport  :Name of output device = RFIO

  10   Wed Jun 26 16:20:31 2019 JanDAQunpacker: lmd > root
I have written an unpacker for the lmd data taken with the current daq-system for E121.
The crate configuration is as follows:
ADC1 channels 1-32 (Caen 785)
ADC2 channels 1-32 (Caen 785)
ADC3 channels 1-32 (Caen 785)
SCALER channels 1-32 (Caen 830)

The unpacker binary can be found here
/u/litv-exp/unpacker/unpackexps/E121/E121

The current spec file is attached.

To convert lmd-files to root-files, please use it as follows:
