Fix: Recycle FEBs and run control


SVT Start-up Procedure : FROM SVT OFF

1) If it is running, kill Rogue by deleting the GUI SvtCodaRun.py that is running in hpsrun-clonfarm2 (TigerVNC window). If doesn't come down, ctrl+c on the terminal where rogue is running

...

12) If all the FEBs look good (green) and SVT bias is on, then CODA should be ready
for "Prestart" followed by "Go"


Restart a run from CODA Configure : with SVT ON

Very often the "End Run" procedure doesn't end cleanly and one needs to restart the run from CODA Configure. The worst step of the procedure is the Download stage as the clock sent to the FEBs get reset and the FEBs might lose clock and communication to the Rogue server.

This is the smoother procedure I have found.

1) Close Rogue

2) Reset the DPMs (see paragraph above)

3) Start Rugue after the DPMs are up

4) Keep PollEn to False

5) CODA Configure, followed by CODA Download

6) Check the Flange Epics adl screen

  • If some FEBs show red values of voltages / currents it's likely they lost clock. Power-cycle those FEBs only.
    • Turn off the Febs DIGI, ANAP and ANAN
    • When OFF, turn up DIGI and wait until it comes to ~1V (Additionally some output will be shown in the terminal where Rogue process is running, confirming that communication is established)
    • When DIGI is UP and connection to Rogue is established, turn on ANAP and ANAN
  • If all FEBs are green proceed with (7)

7) Set PollEn to True and wait for all FEB links to become True

8) If all True and no errors in Rogue, LoadSettings  (see previous section)

9) Turn on the Hybrids with the global button

10) LoadSettings (see previous section)

11) If all went well ==> Prestart and GO.
