USER MANUAL
SR35, 05.07.2006
Data acquisition is running on psw407 (DELL Power Edge 2600).
AFS users can logon to pc5145, the local user account is l_musr_alc.
Data files are stored locally on psw407 in /home/l_musr_alc/exp/alc and
automatically copied to /afs/psi.ch/project/bulkmusr/data/alc/ti

Start a run for autorun sequence: set autorun_active = 1 (if 0: only single run) there are no ‘scans’ anymore!

Stop a run Do not interfere the stopping procedure – wait until the pages refreshes and shows status ‘stopped’.

Appendix: Some ODB entries Ip_min is the minimum required beam currenton Target E in mA. Measurement is paused when the current is lower. rate_min is the minimum required positron rate in the sum of the backward counters (this makes sure that the run is automatically paused when the beamblocker is closed). TestRun = ‘n’ writes datafile ‘alc_05_NNNN.dat’ TestRun= ‘y’ writes ‘test_alc_05_NNNN.dat’

Ip_channel is the channel number (starting at 0, in the above example this is the third channel) of the proton beam current signal, 100 kHz correspond to 1 mA. preset channels is the bitmask for the scaler channels used for the preset counting register in hex form. In the above example this is the proton current (equivalent to rd counting for a certain number of incoming muons). 3 channel has bitmask 0100, represented by 0x4 in hex code. preset_value is the number of counts per field
