Welcome to the VELO testbeam!  Thank you for doing a shift.  Here are a few hints.

To get inside the control room you have to type the code 19285

Testbeam Checklist

Every two hours during the shift fill out a checklist. Go into the elog and press the "two hourly check" button This will give you a bunch of text to fill in. It helps to have a printed out copy. You can find the text here.

• VELO_BEAM_TEST_RUN_FORM_.txt:    Testbeam Checklist

The first four points on the tour are all in the cage.  If the cage is locked, then you can open it with key number 10 in the box inside the control room.

If you have access to the beam area check those points as well. Check both the temperture and current consumption on the ISEG.

Make a screendump of the PVSS temperatures and attach it to the Checklist.

Begin a new run

At every start of run, fill out the "Begin a new run" form  (in the elog and press "begin a new run" button). Write the filename with runnumber on the first line. Check the beam status on   http://hpslweb.cern.ch/teletext/view110.html. Write down the VELO conditions and specifications on the run.
