December 12, 2007 online meeting minutes

present: Sergey Boyarinov, Sergey Pozdnyakov, Nerses Gevorgyan, Eugene Pasyuk, Hovanes Egiyan, Vitaly Baturin

G9A run status

• several Lecroy 2313 discriminators were replacements: one RF, two TOF (both for new TOF counters); repair status: 5 2313 boards and 5 HV boards were sent for repair, usually takes about month; need JLAB discriminators: James may do redesign in a few month (need official arrangement), James or Chris can do that job, Sergey will talk to Volker again

• RF monitoring was improved in PAW-based occupancy plots by Eugene

• few broken LAC HV boards to be repaired, we'll send it and Italians will pay

• Jerry built online recsis, it runs but crashes and it does not fill occupancy plots, work in progress

• we will run 'h2root' on 'clonmon' to convert PAW-based occupancy plot files to ROOT files; those files can be viewed by Carrot module

• clasweb hung again: restarted httpd and tomcat to fix; next time may look at log files

• clon02 key board speaker died ? somebody switched to internal spiker ..

Projects review

• CLAS12 trigger: Ben and Sergey are working on level1 (EC clusters); may test next year on real calorimeters

• EPICS: Lecroy HV support was implemented in 3.14 and under testing in classc0 test setup, now we have both CAENs and Lecroy HV implemented, as well as HallSystems; separate alarms will be generated for test setup (Nerses); medm hist problem: sciplot does not support filled hists, xrtgraf do it but need license, Nerses is working to find solution

• EPICS TO DO: use standard iocCore instead of custom ones as it is done now; cleanup: restored, old epics; CAMAC support is in progress

• BONUS readout: PCI TI board is in progress by Ben (will be PCI, not PCI-X, so we need PC with both), we have a list of equipment needed, will buy it shortly after making sure we have necessary software support, will ask David Abbott to look at that

• electronics inventory db: Sergey P. is filling up database, in a meanwhile we can start to implement notification scripts, for example 'repair status' and 'spare status'; also need procedure scripts, for example found spare module, replace module etc; need web frontend; need history !!! (if line changed, create new line, preserve existing one); standard operations (queries):

 - search for board type, repair status etc with sorting
 - replacement procedure
 - repair procedure
 - new electronics inserts (status 'ordered', ..)
 - decommission items
  ..............

will search for existing soft, and make a list of operations we want to have

• on Vitaly's request we'll order equipment for CLAS12 central TOF test setup; Sergey will make PR, Vitaly talk to Volker
