AMS operations on March 5-10 Mike Capell

TRD Strap-on Gas Bottle removal and TRD pressure monitoring Spada JMDC new program and files (power steps) Cai, Sabellek DSP load new programs and files (including Flight Trigger) Kounine, Sabellek, Casaus, Pilo, Bindi, Ambrosi Checking all software and files, as previous DAQ operations at low rate (50Hz, prescale), Sabellek+Ambrosi DAQ operations at highest rate (2-3KHz, lower TOF and ECAL thresholds), as previous JMDC DAQ Stability (long runs without problems in “AA”, “BB” config) - shift Test of new AB and BA configurations – Sabellek+Shift AA, AB, BA, BB Configurations - Same Operations with “A & B” power on E, R, S – Sabellek+Pilo, Casaus, Bindi Star Tracker readout – Ambrosi + Lebedev +Alberti GPS synchronization testing Lebedev+Zurbach BRICK-5 program testing Lebedev+E, R, S Shift TOF HV Equalization Scans – Bindi+Quadrani ACC HV - Chung ECAL Standalone Trigger Tests – Pilo+Rosier Tracker Thermal Interlock Test + Shift

People who need to do this work should do it while on shift. Shift Leader can coordinate Sabellek and Cai (mostly) not on shift to monitor (fix) JMDC performance Shift Leader to keep notes on what is going on (in elog)

1.Power on A side 2.Install new JAP 3.Execute all the power steps 4.Install latest software where needed on A side electronics 5.Run in stable condition (short period, including trigger rate test) 6.Allow all Detectors to do their various tests 7.Finalize all the software/config file etc. for flight on A side 8.Run in stable condition (long period) in AA Configuration (JMDC 0, etc.) 9.Power on B sides of E, R, S (keep A side on) 10.Install latest software on B sides 11.Test running with power on A&B side 12.Power off A sides of E, R, S 13.Run in stable conditions in AB, BA configurations (JMDC 2, 1) 14.Allow all Detectors to do their various tests 15.Finalize all the software/config file etc. for flight on B side 16.Run in stable condition (long period) 17.Testing Tracker interlock 18.Turn off detectors (go to STANDBY, PDS, J, M, TT, UG on) 19.TRD Monitoring 20.Power off
