1. 6-Dec-05PC Commissioning1 Peripheral Crate (PC) Commissioning Status Fred Borcherding, CSC/EMU Group

2. 6-Dec-05PC Commissioning2 Commissioning What does Commissioning mean in this context? –Peripheral Crates, PC, plus CSC are as ready as possible for LHC running (status of present slice-test crates) –PC are operational and have first values of constants and calibrations When must it be done? –Before the disks are lowered Could be ~6 months after lowering before all services are connected below ground Will be some time between + lowering and -

3. 6-Dec-05PC Commissioning3 EMU/CSC Commissiong Commissioning –Hardware arrives at ISR Staged until needed Mechanical work done here –Crates filled at B904 and power tested Have room for several PC crates at once Fill, Power and Test (with one CSC) –Crates installed at SX5 and Commissioned

4. 6-Dec-05PC Commissioning4 Work at SX5 First –Prepare and install racks Its important to do as much of this for + side as possible before start of Magnet test –Heavy lifting, infrastructure Racks for PC, PC/CSC LV, HV … Second –Install Crates Install, cable and Commission

5. 6-Dec-05PC Commissioning5 Testing Software The testing software platform is hyper- DAQ –This uses web browser windows to control and observe the tests This platform starts C++ processes on the DAQPC Tester is presented a Matrix –Vertical The crate slots –Horizontal The different tests or options available for each board type –Status –Firmware download –tests

6. 6-Dec-05PC Commissioning6 Start the server –In the terminal window to the DAQPC as shown From anywhere –Shown here from a Windows machine –LINUX will be used

7. 6-Dec-05PC Commissioning7 Software XDAQ opening screen Select the testing

8. 6-Dec-05PC Commissioning8 First testing window –Set up configuration B904 Slice-test SX5 Commissioning test setup

9. 6-Dec-05PC Commissioning9 Enter tester name Power up crate Crate configuration is found –By CC scan of crate

10. 6-Dec-05PC Commissioning10 All boards are scanned Available options are displayed for each board type

11. 6-Dec-05PC Commissioning11 DMB Status Displa y Result s are color coded Note CFEB infor matio n

12. 6-Dec-05PC Commissioning12 Picking on DMB tests results in a list of tests Note the text window on screen –Text from the test is scrolled here and can be saved in case of errors

13. 6-Dec-05PC Commissioning13 Similarly for TMB

14. 6-Dec-05PC Commissioning14 Software Where are we on software? –Platform – well along thanks to Martin –Boards > DMB > OSU tests –VME based > installed by Martin –DDU based > to-do by Martin TMB > UCLA tests –To be done > Yangheng and Greg –System > Want to include series B tests (single CSC commissioning tests) No one designated to provide software Lots of software work here

15. 6-Dec-05PC Commissioning15 Changes at SX5 Replaced V2 BP with PC+V3BP –LVPS changes –Cooling changes –Re-distributed boards for 9 CSC –Re-cabled both PC’s Moved V2BP to ME+1 Working on YE+2 Rack –Alexander Denisov– left –Martin von der Mey– right –Greg Rakness – hands only

16. 6-Dec-05PC Commissioning16 SX5 Now New PC at YE+2 –Needs more fiber optic jumpers –Time-in not used before CSC New Rack and PC at YE+1 –Needs ~5m fiber optic jumpers from YE+2 –Has LVPS for ME1/1 and ME1/2(3) CSC –Will be used to integrate ME1/1 CSC into system

17. 6-Dec-05PC Commissioning17 Summary Software for commissioning has a good start but has a long way to go –Software for many of the desired tests not started –Much has no author assigned Magnet test and commissioning interfere –Closed disks restrict space and heavy lifting –Magnet field restricts access We have to finish before lowering –Possible only under the most optimistic conditions
