Entry  Tue Apr 5 15:25:47 2022, Sebastian, Kristian, Pierre-Michel, DAQ, Go4 Conditions for "TDC_stacked_Sig/Ref" histogram 
First version of TDC_stacked histograms implemented.

Under folder "Conditions" you can now integrate over user defined Limits (Xmin and Xmax).
Entry  Wed Apr 6 08:06:02 2022, Danyal, DAQ, stopped NTCAP data acquisition 
I stopped the NTCAP data acquisition at 8 AM.

Let's hope that the file contains good data.

Entry  Thu Apr 7 03:06:15 2022, Patrick, DAQ, DAQ file sizes 
The file sizes of DAQ1 (229Thor) and DAQ2 (229Th, "Carstens DAQ") are different.
During 20min of laser scanning DAQ1 saves 4 files while DAQ2 saves 2 files which was 3.3 GB and 2 GB, respecively.
[B]The file sizes of DAQ2 should always be greater than those of DAQ1, because of extra ADC data![/B]

A lot of cables were wrongly or not 
connected to the DAQ 2.

(MBS server should be running at the LXG0155 machine. If not you will get an error message. Then start the server - last command in console)

Just enter the following commands in the console of any PC

Entry  Thu Apr 7 07:40:09 2022, Danyal, Max, Sebastian, DAQ, No beam and DAQs crashed 
since shortly after 7 AM we have no beam in the ESR
(reason unclear) 
Entry  Thu Apr 7 09:23:18 2022, Sebastian, DAQ, DAQ1 & DAQ2 - 1kHz and delayed cs removed 
Questionable 1kHz and delayed common stop signals has been removed.

These two cablings were for some previous tests.
Entry  Thu Apr 7 15:18:25 2022, Danyal & Sebastian, DAQ, DAQ channels 
We checked again the cables for both DAQs 
(on Carsten's kind request) 
Entry  Fri Apr 8 01:18:51 2022, Ken Ueberholz, DAQ, TODO: DAQ improvements  
For somebody who knows the DAQ1 code: Go4 resets the histograms with each laser step. Can there be additional histograms where the data gets accumulated?

And possibly a histogram where important detectors are plotted against the laser steps? The read back wavelength of the wavemeter is not very precise.
Entry  Fri Apr 8 01:48:57 2022, Patrick, DAQ, Bugged Trending plots? 2022-04-08_Cobra_set_wavelength.png
The wavelengths/frequencies shown in the graph in the labview window do not match the wavelengths/frequencies in go4.
Compare the picture which shows an incomplete laser scan although the scans in the labview window are completed (The measurement was started at an 'elapsed
MBS time' of 2700s and took 1700s/28min).
Entry  Fri Apr 8 08:40:06 2022, Sebastian, DAQ, DAQ improvement 
Concerning ID 146 a new histogram for accumulating data (no cleaning histograms) can be found under

Entry  Fri Apr 8 14:12:57 2022, morning shift, DAQ, timing for h=1 2022-04-08_timing_h1_final.png
The timing for h=1 has been set up 

The time window is now twice as large as before! 
Entry  Fri Apr 8 14:14:28 2022, Kristian, DAQ, Delay of bunch RF 
The bunch HF is now fed through a delay to shift the stop trigger relative to the PMT signal. The delay generator is placed directly after the CFG and before
splitting the signal for the two DAQs. The relative timing of both DAQs was not changed.
