You'll be able to do these tasks with a combination of monitoring plots from LISOC and s/w written by Zach and Sasha, described here.
A useful overview of the plots is at https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/ISOC/Review+of+CAL+Data+monitoring .
In basic form, here's the list of tasks.
...
For each task and each dataset below, it's important to understand what the AFEE board temperatures are. There are reported in the LISOC data monitoring. See instructions in the next section. Compare to the AFEE temperatures during Observatory cold thermal balance, when the LAC calibration data were acquiredsection. Compare to the AFEE temperatures during Observatory cold thermal balance, when the LAC calibration data were acquired.
*The CAL AFEE temperatures can be displayed on the Telemetry Trending -> Health and Safety -> Temperature -> Calorimeter and pick the LHKT#CALAF## value you need where # is the tower number (in Hex) and ## is 0 = X+, 1 = Y+,
2 = X-, ..... Beware: this page looked different last week so the way to access these variables might change too.
If you want to grab the temperatures with a command line go to the ISOC utilities and use the MnemRet.py script.
1. From the initial LPA runs, determine whether there are any serious problems with zero suppression or CAL triggering.
...
From those runs, we need to know absolutely ASAP whether there are any problems with LAC, FLE, or FHE. We need that information at the MOC within hours after the data come out of the pipeline, if we're to have any chance to fix them before the FLE and FHE timing-in data are acquired. Sorry about that. Please communicate this information to the Shift Coordinator (Rob or Eduardo or ?) at the Mission Support Room at SLAC absolutely as soon as you can, so that he can relay to us in the MOC at GSFC.
