Thoughts about CAL data monitoring are collected here
Compare to thoughts I added to https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/DC2/Monitoring
on 5 Oct 2006.
Daily standard plots
Data from telemetry streams
Strip charts of temperatures, say a couple grid points, mean of inner TKRs (top cable temp), mean of corner TKRs, mean of inner CAL baseplates, mean of corner CAL baseplates, a couple ACD temps. 5-min averages are fine.
Strip chart of LAT hardware Configuration state. I'm not sure quite how to plot this, but plot identity of SIU and EPUs powered, identity of power feeds, .... I'll flesh this out later.
Strip chart of LAT Mode: Quiescent, Physics, SAA, TOO, AR, HOLD. Again, not quite sure how to plot this, maybe a color-coded line.
Enviroment based detector information
Strip charts of total TKR, total CAL, total ACD occupancy rates (e.g. strip hits per unit time). Same plots as TKR EMI/EMC test, now in pipeline.
Subpages for strip charts of TKR and CAL occupancy rates by Tower. Same plots as TKR EMI/EMC test, now in pipeline.
Environment based summaries/trending
Strip charts of vertical cut-off rigidity or McIlwain L parameter (not very interesting when the LAT is stationary).
Strip charts of attitude information: pitch angle WRT local zenith, RA and dec of Z, ...
Strip charts of location information: s/c RA and ec, s/c lat and lon,
Event classification information, background rates
Strip charts of livetime, deadtime.
Strip charts of trigger sent, discard, prescale, and deadzone rates.
Strip charts of TKR, CAL-LO, CAL-HI, and CNO trigger req rates from the GEM Condition Summary word. In addition, strip chart of TKR && ROI (mostly particles) and TKR && !ROI rates (mostly not particles). Maybe do all 8 trigger sources.
Strip charts of TKR, CAL-LO, and CAL-HI trigger req rates from each tower, taken from the GEM trigger vector. Strip charts of CNO trigger req rates from each board.
Strip charts of trigger engine rates, reconstructed from dowlinked data that satisfies the event filters. I realize this is biased info.
Strip charts of rates passed by filters (GFC, MFC, HFC, and DFC). It will take some effort to reconstruct this from the filter bits, I suppose. Note that the DFC has two instances. The first passes periodic triggers, so perhaps its strip chart isn't interesting. But the second passes the "unbiased" TKR && ROI && (don'tCare) trigger rate prescaled by 250:1, so it'll show ~20 Hz average, with good modulation through the orbit.
Run based (SVAC reports) detector information
2d histograms of detector occupancies from digi report
2d histograms of CAL range occupancies (i.e. fraction of times each range is best range)
Many others from digi and recon reports. More later on this. Then again, why not leave them in the digi and recon reports?
Run-based detector performance(derived quantities from raw detector information)
Strip chart of sigma of overall CAL LEX8 and HEX8 pedestal width distributions calculated in Item 1 of 24 Jan 2007 email message below. Measures average noise and its variation through the day, through time.
Strip chart of mean and rms of the 3 ratio centroids (P/M, P/p, M/m) calculated in Item 2 of 24 Jan 2007 email message below. Measures global PDA bond stability through time.
Mean TKR occupancy (numeric value), total TKR and for each Tower.

This gives an overall measure of whether there were diode bond failures. It won't tell us which CDE is bad, and there are some
systematic problems with certain channels on each AFEE board (remember David figured that out while he was at SLAC?). perhaps we should exclude those known systematic issues from board layout in these histograms.
It won't add much run time to the digi reporting to calculate 16,000 gaussian fits, will it?
