QDCTDC_VOIE_0 -> PPT_E

This run used e744_12mai_founctione.das config (looks corrupted for must2 as no y energies)
Fixed, e744, Thu May 10 14:38:41 2018, iulian, EXL-PPT, Hardware, N/A, Mesytech settings 
Tried unsuccessfully to change the gain on EXL energies.
Looking at the inspection lines noticed that all the EXL signals were inverted (negative) and we were coding only the pole zero part of the signals.
Looking into the manual find out how to change polarity of the signals. Did that and now the signals look normal with normal gain change after polarity change.
EXL polarity is negative so Mesytech modules have to be set to use negative input signals.

PPT HV = 650 V

This is happening when the pre-amplifiers for EXL are not alimented.. When they are alimented the EXL sigal polarity is positive.. The gains and thresholds for Mesytech modules are below

The previous config , saved now under the name e744_save12mai.das, gives no Y energies in the spectras and an error on Muvi2 (some register different)

Fixed, e748, Mon May 14 10:49:47 2018, François, DAQ, Software, , TDC problem 
Problem :
TDC labels are 0. After the compilation of action list the labels seem to appear (if I remember correctly), but after a save/reload of the config they are gone, and in all cases no event coded (on the oscilloscope a validation point is visible, but do not know what this means in the case of a TDC – even after looking in GANIL wiki related doc).


Solution :
Solved by Fred. He made "init" at the VME MUST2MASTER in the RCC.

Fixed, e744, Mon May 14 13:52:25 2018, François, BEAM, General, , Profileur Sans_titre.jpg



Normalement, les profileurs devraient voir le faisceau.
En général, la fenêtre d’entrée est de 12µm de titane et il y a une plaque d’alu de 3mm en sortie.
Donc il y a une plaque d’arrêt sur le dernier profileur.
Mais même si c’est une feuille d’inox en sortie, le faisceau ne devrait pas sortir.

After struggling with the noise, we achieved ~ 50 keV resolution.

Source = 1 alpha peak 241Am E=5.485 MeV

Detector E1D6 50 µm 25 V in principle, but set to 100 V
Detector E2D6 300 µm 70 V in principle, but set to 100 V

PA gain = 20 mV/MeV

Maximum output signal of the new PA (differential) = 8 V.

The following TACs signals from LISE have been cabled and send to the experimental acquisition (->D6)

TED4_HF (cable physically labeled 29 of the ADC)
TE2D6_HF (cable physically labeled 30 of the ADC)

--> They should be added to the DAS when possible

NOTE that TE1D6_HF (cable physically labeled 31 of the ADC) was already cabled

Calibration coefficients for the PPT detector using the 60Co and 40K lines: E=0.5514*ch - 83.322. Internal radioactivity at 1444 keV, not separated from 40K
Efficiency: During the run (21h46min40s) the number of gammas emitted from the 60Co source is 66796800; for the Co pics the integrals are: 2.71e05 for the 1173.2 and 1.87e05 for the 1333, respectively (0.4% and 0.3%) without geometrical factor

We put the following signals from LISE on DAQ :

(counting channels from 1)

E_D4 channel 17
E1_D6 channel 18
E2_D6 channel 19
T_D4 channel 20
T1_D6 channel 21
T2_D6 channel 22

tomorrow : set individual triggers of the ADC (OR of T_D4, T1_D6 and T2_D6)
(need to build a cable...)
