Reason for change

The new version (v5r16p2, as opposed to v5r15p1) takes care of a new noisy cal channel (1160) and features a few new alarms on the filter rates, compression level and bandwith usage. See below for details.

Test Procedure

We have processed monitoring products from real on-orbit data (LPA) locally with this version of AlarmsCfg.

Rollback procedure

The package can be rolled back to the previous version by flipping a soft link. Also note that the package is completely independent from any other package running in the pipeline and will not cause a version change of L1Proc.

Details (release notes for dataMonitoring/AlarmCfg for v5r16p2)

v5r16p2

  • Added alarms on the compression level and bandwidth in the digi trending. Precisely, alarms have been added on the following quantities:
    • Time::Mean_CompressionLevel
    • Time::Rate_CompressedEvtSizeInBytes
    • Time::Mean_CompressedEvtSizeBytes
  • Relevant jira(s): GDQMQ-313

v5r16p1

  • Added alarms on the filter rates in the digi trending:
    • Time::Rate_FswFilters_DGN
    • Time::Rate_FswFilters_HIP
    • Time::Rate_FswFilters_GAMMA
      This is essentially to make sure that all the filters are correctly running in the nominal science configuration.
  • Relevant jira(s): GDQMQ-312

v5r16p0

  • Alarm limits (warning max and error max) changed in calpeds_eor for channel 1160 for the ""y_values" alarms on:
    • CalXAdcPedRMS_LEX1_TH1 (1.2, 1.8 -> 3.6, 3.6) and
    • CalXAdcPedRMS_LEX8_TH1 (10.0, 15.0 -> 30.0, 30.0)
  • Relevant jira(s): GDQMQ-314
Request to update boresight alignment

Reason for change (UPDATE)

Following an analysis of the unbinned photons above 3 GeV, it appears to actually be a fixed offset

see this link

As a follow up to the C&A meeting where I presented the results of pass6/pass7 boresight comparison, it appears that the alignment has changed by 60 arcseconds since the alignment was first determined during L&EO. In particular, the alignment seemed to change over the period from December to February the most significantly. I propose that one set of boresight alignment calibrations should be split up as follows:

September-December (242149417-252517417)
January (252517417-255109417)
February (255109417

Since there are already alignment constants in the reprocessing, it would be easier just to reference the relative changes:
(242149417-252517417): delta-Rx=+11 delta-Ry=+54 delta-Rz=+4
(252517417-255109417): delta-Rx=-33 delta-Ry=+79 delta-Rz=+31
(255109417 : delta-Rx=-31 delta-Ry=+25 delta-Rz=+11

Here is the plot from the C&A meeting:

Test Procedure

The pointlike boresight alignment analysis will be run locally to verify the constants have been applied correctly.

plus in v5r15p0

  • Condition on the minimum number of entries for running the alarms on the calgains eor changed from 750,000 to 1,000,000.

v5r15p1

  • Add an exception on recon eor for LAC threshold of Tower 6 Layer 4 Column 6
    Lac_Thresholds_FacePos_TH1_TowerCalLayerCalColumn_6_4_1
    This LAC threshold has been disabled in the FSW configuration because this channel has a noise greater than 1MeV, hence the cristal is readout on the other side only and the observed LAC threshold is higher than normal.
    • From the LAT diary: 2009/162 Changed nomSciOps configuration (disabled a CAL LAC threshold (see JIRA OBCONF-107)
      o 16:42:53 - Stopped last run w/ previous configuration. (Run 266430686)
      o 16:43:35 - Started first run w/ new configuration. (Run 266431417)

Reason for change

The new version (v5r14p2, as opposed to v5r14p1) introduces some minor modifications to accommodate a new cal noisy channel (2784).

v5r14p2

  • Warning high limit moved from 2.5 to 3.0 for the "y_values" alarms on CalXAdcPedPedMeanDeviation_HEX1_TH1 and CalXAdcPedPedMeanDeviation_LEX1_TH1 for CAL channel 2784.

Reason for change

Improved file server filter to decorate file systems: It is now possible to select and download files.
