Only 2 runs taken like this (18045126,18045127)
After runs were finished changed back to standby
-Magnet was on
-Cosmic data was taken for this day
--Not sure when or how long it was on standby until I changed it
-QT7 Adapter C for FPOST was not plugged in for this day because we are working on getting an escope working for one channel on that row

03/03/201718062One(FPS Q3L2C11) was a loose lemo cable connection which Oleg and I fixed by rigging a bypass for the lemo via bnc to bnc extender. The other one(FPS Q4L3C16) was also a loose cable but didn't need this fix since the lemo attachment was fine and cable just needed to be plugged in all the way.

03/20/20171807918078003Turned on CAMAC crate for FPOST after brief access at 8:30pm. Starting to get data again but high RCC-TCU difference. Also NL3C03 and NL5C12 are dead. Also changed event pool to only process 10000 events since sometimes it was running slow and we missed a whole day because of this. For FPS Q4L2Ch1-8 were showing bad adc histograms for runs 18079040-18080042.

03/21/20171808018079050Changed Zero suppression from 11-15 for FPS and FPOST starting from run 18080016. Using physics pedestal subtraction instead of standby pedestal to fix large RCC-TCU problem. Works now since physics pedestal peak different from standby pedestal peak. Investigation to follow. Also NL3C03 and NL5C12 are dead. Rebooted FPS and FPOST crate issue of bad ADCs from previous day resolved after run 18080042.

03/22/201718081NL3C03 and NL5C12 are dead. Q2L2C15 and Q2L3C16 showing bad ADC histograms see this shift log entry about this issue: https://online.star.bnl.gov/apps/shiftLog/logForEntry.jsp?ID=4150. After Akio and Tim inspected SiPM voltages during the access Akio adjusted the voltage on the FPS to be -0.7 V of the RUn15 setting. This is valid for all runs past 18081078

78
03/23/201718082Zero Suppression for FPS and FPOST changed to 11 for runs after 18082019. Still using physics pedestal subtraction. Pedestals were taken for FPS/FPOST but were empty because of the setting change in the daq configuration file. Akio copied the last good pedestal for the subtraction and things look better now. These questionable runs are 18082027,18082032,28082033. Jeff will fix the problem for tomorrow.

Also the setting for -0.7 V from Run15 setting is not showing MIPs will change to -0.4 V of Run15 Setting after beam dump at ~1:30pm. Jeff is fixing issue from day before and should be resolved after the beam dump. Last run before beam dump was: 18083026.

03/27/20171808618085047QuestionableShift crew did not have time to take a physics pedestal and was using the standby pedestal file for pedestal subtration. This led to hot channels and high RCC-TCU difference. Akio loaded last physics pedestal and things look good now.
