Subject: Switching on and off LV/HV for MUST2 crate 
HVM group could be used to switch on and off the LV and HV for the MUST2 crate.

The command could be lauched from the analysis environment: start a terminal and type:

> lpcgrit

This will connect to lpcgrit and source the correct environment.

Be careful: HV on mugast should not be on when the BT are off, this could damaged the PAC:
  • Power up sequence : switch on BT first, then HV
  • Power down sequence :Switch off HV first, then BT.


To switch on group use:
> hvm_group <group name> <on|off>

The following group exist:

  • BT-MGA -> Low voltage for GRIT trapezoid and annular detector
  • BT-MGB -> Low voltage for GRIT trapezoid
  • BT-MUST -> Low voltage for MUST2 and 90 deg
  • HV-MG -> GRIT Trap and Annular HV
  • HV-MUST -> MUST2 Si and CsI HV


The programme return only once the voltage finished ramping up, so be patient. Once the voltage are set, it will print-out the relevant channel. If a channel trip, the programm print out the status of all the channel.


NB: over voltage on +5V channel is "normal" and ignored as an error by the program

To check the status of the voltage crate use the hvm_print command:


to print VAMOS and MUST2:
> hvm_print

to print MUST2:

> hvm_print MUST2

to print VAMOS:
> hvm_print VAMOS
