ExpNbr: TEST 
Type: GRIT

Status: Fixed 
Target-Source: 3-alpha 
Subject: Test of configuration with 4 MUVI and 3 GAMERS 
The electronics set-up for MUGAST2020 has been tested with 4 MUVI on 4 VXI crates, 1GMT for MASTER and 3 GAMERS for slaves.

Configuration file is named mugast.das
We have modified the mugast.detector and the parameters for MUVI4 with names:
- MUVI4_ch1 : MG2
- MUVI4_ch2 : MG6
- MUVI4_ch3 : MG8
- MUVI4_ch4 : MG12 (not used and not tested)
For the 3 first channels of MUVI4 we connected MG1, MG3 and MG4.

Cables for MUVI4_ch2 is not working (to be repaired).

With the alpha source (double side) we were able to run during all night and it was stable (attached are pictures of alpha source).
We notice that the rate of MG7 is lower (1/3) than the other ones (as usual). We tried to increase bias but leakage current is also increasing proportionally.
We also notice that 3alpha source shows lower statistics in the last (higher energy) peak but all detectors backward see the same.
The rates of MG2 and MG8 are consistent (there was no pedestal suppression).

We performed a pulser test of MUVI4 putting 5000Hz rate. The dead time is about 97%. It is consistent with MUVI1 in the same condition (5000 Hz and no pedestal suppression). The dead time is 90% when we suppress the pedestals.
