System status (from Ben's email Jan 7th):
We can currently power 8 FEBS. We can power every hybrid attached to those 8 FEBS: 30 Hybrids. All Hybrids that we can power are able to sync, except for FEB 8, Hybrid 2, which has just 1 APV that won’t sync.
Link to excel file.

L1t (DAQ FEB #0 and GUI FEB #0) has what looks like a short on the output side of the regulator on DVDD (we can’t see the short probing the pins from outside).
L6b (DAQ FEB #5 and GUI FEB #7) first appeared to have a short on DVDD. After 5mins and a power cycle it came back with current levels that looked reasonable except that the DVDD level indicated it had no control link.

11:00AM
Removing FEB cooling plate from SVT box to rework FEBs.

Equipment

Interlock board

see Group C interlock board for instructions on monitoring and controls.

Serial portserver

Digi Portserver TS 4: 192.168.1.217 on LAN. Telnet from ppa-pc91245, e.g. "telnet 192.168.1.217 2001" will connect you to port 2001. All serial ports are logged to /var/log/portserver on ppa-pc91245. Configure the portserver using its web interface or Telnet. Docs: http://www.digi.com/support/productdetail?pid=1954

Miscellaneous

Reloading PGP card drivers

Typically after a reboot we need to reload the pgp card driver.

$ cd /u1/pgpcard/software/driver_old/

$ ./pgpcard_load

OLD:Take a calibration run with expert SVT GUI

Start the DAQ:

$ cd /u1/software/software_new

$ source setup_env.csh

$ ./bin/frontEndTestGui

Click <read status> and make sure no error is seen. If so, check that the FEB is powered correctly.

Make sure the AxiXadc temperature is ok (50-60C).

Configure with config/FrontEndBoardConfigC01.xml

Click <read status> and check that more registers are found.

Turn on power to hybrids (see below)

Do a hard reset under commands/FebCore/HybridHardReset (current on AVDDP should drop ~100mA).

Click <Write config>.

Do a soft reset under commands/FebCore/HybridSoftReset.

Check that the hybrid currents measured are ok. Sync status for each channel can be seen in register RceCore/DataPath[x]/Synced, 1xf for powered channels.
