 Sun Apr 10 11:11:18 2022, Kristian, Max, Laser, additional WM readout
|
since the WM readout still does not work reliably, I started a python script at atppc023 that saves timestamp and wavemeter frequency. in folder wavemeter
at the desktop.

Sun Apr 10 08:53:26 2022, Kristian, Max, Laser, Timing verified
|
timing is still good.
we checked the relative timing between laser and ions. the time difference between photodiodes, PMTs and particle detectors is still the same as original |

These are the measurement runs of the morning shift (10.04.).

Problem solved. Ignore this entry

Sun Apr 10 04:37:29 2022, Patrick, DAQ, Next wavelength range 
|
Measurements with the next wavelength scan range should be started roughly around 12:00 noon. The plan is to go to lower wavelengths / higher energies.
So the next wavelength scan range would be 322.81 - 322.4 nm, again with a step size of 0.002 nm and 5s dwell time.

[B]Update (ID:194):[/B] In labview "Stop All", close labview, stop python script (ID:197), close wavemeter. Then restart wavemeter, python script, labview

Sun Apr 10 03:56:56 2022, V. Hannen, Detectors, Low rate in PMT South
|
PMT south shows a much lower count rate than observed in elog entry 170.
Yesterday the voltage on this PMT was increased to 2400 V and the threshold setting of the CAEN CFD to 90 units, (from 70 units before) however the low |

|
Connecting to the rfio server and opening a file is included in '@startup' now. Since mbs crashes reliably every 3 or 4 runs, it may be preferable to use
the following procedure (which did not crash yet):

|
I have tuned a bit the resonator of the dye laser.
The total output energy after the main amplifier is 86 mJ (@ 645,6 nm)

Sat Apr 9 16:55:19 2022, Rodolfo, Laser,

16:15 I have changed the dye (of both oscillator and amplifier).
16:27 I have increased the pump energy (@ 532 nm) from 476 mJ to 507 mJ.

Sat Apr 9 15:47:21 2022, Carsten, Rodolfo, Sarper, Patrick, Runs, Afternoon and night shift runs
|
After the morning shift, we got new increment (nm) for the laser scanning. We are now scanning 2 nm of wavelength range in 5 big steps (5 x 0.4 nm). Started
with 323.2 nm - 322.8 nm range. Every big step (0.4 nm) is scanned with 0.002 nm of wavelength increment.

Sat Apr 9 14:15:44 2022, Kristian, Max, Konstantin, DAQ, Change in LV code
|
We changed the LV code so that the Cobra Set Wavelength is permanently sent. Before it was only sent once at the beginning of each laser step. This, however,
lead to too much data for the LV->MBS server.
This was fixed by inserting a 250 ms wait in LV (in Krypton data VI). Basically, all LV values are now updated every 250 ms, which works fine with MBS |
|
Sat Apr 9 13:45:42 2022, Max, Kristian, Runs, first scans with LV problem solved!
|
This is the first time with LV buffer problem solved (see Elog ID: 184). Before the PMT signals were out of sync with the wavelength data!
We concluded to scan with step sizes of 0.002nm, scan range of 0.5nm (f
nm), dwelltime = 150(5s), loops = 2 (approx.: 30min measurements).

| We changed the laser step size to 0.002 nm which corresponds to 5.75 GHz. |

The problem from yesterday (ID:147) still persists. All the plots (not only the labview stuff) comes in too late in go4. However, the time axis is correct,
see picture. |
