“The online group is responsible of making sure the software and disposition of information available in the control room allows efficient data taking and enough online information to verify data quality as it is taken and immediately after”
CompositionComposition Detector DAQ : J.S Graulich (Group

Control and Control and MonitoringMonitoring
Controls & Monitoring Leader (J. Leaver):Controls & Monitoring Leader (J. Leaver):
Identify control requirements of each section of MICE
Decide on most appropriate solution
Coordinate the effort of those involved in implementing agreed solution
Define work packages to be undertaken by DL or other appropriate groups in the Collaboration
DL remain in charge of EPICS infrastructure - DL remain in charge of EPICS infrastructure - and continue to be most important EPICS and continue to be most important EPICS resourceresource

Decay Solenoid & Cryogenic SystemDecay Solenoid & Cryogenic System Several upgrades, including: Automatic operation sequences, Remote
monitoring of the fridge via a web interface, additional vacuum monitoring & interlocks, ...
Hydrogen SystemHydrogen System Special training and evaluation of technical solutions have started
Fermilab Beam Position MonitorsFermilab Beam Position Monitors FNAL BPM software complete Used for calibration after the noise problem fixed last month
TrackerTracker AFEIIt configuration, control & monitoring software complete
Successfully tested with DATE using Tracker 1 cosmic ray stand
Finalisation of DATE integration details required

DAQ
CAM Suggested CAM Suggested ImprovementsImprovements
Currently have a collection of EPICS-compatible subsystems Currently have a collection of EPICS-compatible subsystems need to combine into single integrated control systemneed to combine into single integrated control system
Use Alarm Handler Standard EPICS tool that can warn operators of dangerous/abnormal
conditions (if properly configured)
Input from MICE community: which systems/parameters should trigger alarms?
Extend use of Archiver Presently used for cryo monitoring - not yet widely used elsewhere
Input from MICE community: which parameters should be archived?
Further use of web interfaces for remote monitoring
Scripting languages for automation Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, etc.
Above all, make use of the vast range of existing EPICS solutions – DON’T REINVENT THE WHEEL!

Detector DAQDetector DAQ
Progress since CM22Progress since CM22 TOF1 included in the DAQ and in the trigger New flashADC (500MHz) installed for CKOV Computer Clock synchronization fixed
Not 100% satisfactory: PCs are synchronized to each other but not to the outside world (firewall issue)
Progress has been slower than foreseen
Known issuesKnown issues Limit on the number of particle events
From DAQ and from Online Monitoring ( about 40 Particles/Spill )
Not expected and needs more investigations
Event reconstruction Recent, dramatic, unexpected mismatch between the
number of particle triggers in the two crates (for some runs)
-> Serious Event building problem !
Interface with EPICS becomes a top priorityInterface with EPICS becomes a top priorityMICE CM January 2009 Jean-Sébastien Graulich Slide 9
Online SoftwareOnline Software
Unpacking library needs upgradeUnpacking library needs upgrade New fADC (V1731) for CKOV New version to be distributed next week
Interface with G4MICEInterface with G4MICE First task is to reproduce online histograms (David Adey) See Software session for more details
Know issuesKnow issues Online monitoring GUI tends to get stalled at the end of a
run Online monitoring histograms are not labeled according to
detector names That is a feature!
Need better Online plots for fADC Current plots found not efficient in detecting broken channels Not straight forward task (fluctuating baseline)

FEE IssuesFEE Issues
Cross Talk IssueCross Talk Issue Affect TOF stations New design is under study
FADC firmware upgradeFADC firmware upgrade Needed for significant reduction of data volume
Less samples per Particle event (currently 512 whereas only 60 are necessary Zero suppression (to be tested)
Delicate operation
Splitter/Shaper Production for TOF2Splitter/Shaper Production for TOF2 Board production is finished in Sofia Discrete components are in hand in Geneva Mounting will start in February
Missing TDC/fADC for TOF2Missing TDC/fADC for TOF2 Should be ordered by Ludovico/Maurizio (funding issues)
FEE for EMR (aka SW)FEE for EMR (aka SW) Technical design approved by TB
