Update Default Config Files

Note: If a previous configuration exists you may wish to backup it before proceeding.

Pull data from the ProdDB

• Execute CframeAssembly T L Q M H
• This will pull the configuration files from the data base and save them to /group/sf/var/tmp/T*L*Q*M*H*
• You then need to move the directory to /group/sf/var/tmp/dataProdDB

• Go to /group/sf/etc/sfFee/MasterBoards/default
• Run python generate.py

• Go to /group/sf/etc/sfFee/ClusterBoards/database
• Run python generate.py

• Go to /group/sf/etc/sfFee/PacificBoards/default
• Run scifi40_pacificconfig /group/sf/var/dataProdDB/T*L*Q*M*H* --local
• This will create the config files in the current directory. You can also specify a different location by supplying the option -o
• Replace the wildcards with specific numbers if you don’t want to regenerate all config files

• Download the ScifiLocation table from https://scifi.physi.uni-heidelberg.de/db/prod/index.php?nav=1&ty0=tbl&tb0=304
• Move it to /group/sf/var/dataProdDB

Calibration

• Calibration from S-curves:
  • Data location: /calib/sf/CframeCommissioning/T3L23Q02/T3L23Q0/lis_scan/191218/data/scurves/
  • Thesis Lukas Witola: http://www.physi.uni-heidelberg.de//Publications/MA_Witola.pdf
• LIS settings: /group/sf/etc/sfFee/MasterBoards/default

Monitoring

CB SCA CurrentSrc

With this panel the CurrSrc values from the DB can be applied on the SfFeeDuHalfRob DP.

$ WCCOAui -proj SCDAQFEE -p sfFeeApplyCurrSrc.pnl&

Usage_of_the_Scan_Creator.pdf

Scan logging

Successful ScanRuns are logged as XML file to /calib/sf/ScanConfig/RUN_NUMBER-SCAN_NAME-TIME_STAMP/scanrun.xml

A WinCC manager scripts/sfFee/sfFeeScanLogger.ctl generates the XML file containing:

• RunNumber
• Recipe name
• MaxSteps
• Steps (actuall taken)
• StartTime
• FinishedTime
• Options (from ScanCreator panel)
• 1 or more STEPS with used values
• List of included DU's

How it works

The implementation sfFee/sfFeeScanLogger.ctl is an entry in WinCC Console on SFECS.

The FSM node "SF" is monitored for FSM state changes:

RUNNING

When the RUNNING state is entered, the RUN_TYPE is looked up in the the DP entries of type SfFeeScan (previously created by the ScanCreator panel). If it is found AND the mumber of steps N_STEPS given by the operator is > 1, the run is considered to be of type Scan.

READY

When the FSM state is entering the READY state AND the run was recognized as a Scan, the logfile is created,

Note that all other states between RUNNING and READY will discard the logging.

WinCC tools for DB and Recipes

Each tool can be run with the command: $WCCOAui -proj <project_name> -p sfFee/<tool_name_below> -iconBar -menuBar &

Installing 6 WinCC projects

In an attempt to improve the speed of RESET/CONFIGURE/STEP actions, the SFA and SFC FE controls will be spread over 6 WinCC projects.
