Charge Feedback Parity DAQ

The Charge Asymmetry Feedback system is controlled by the Hall A Parity DAQ.

When Hall A is in production mode, the Hall A shift crew will manage the Parity DAQ and control feedback for both Hall A and Hall C beams.

If the Hall A Counting House is not staffed, then Hall C must negotiate with the Parity group to ensure that the Parity DAQ is still running.

• This must be running for all 3He production data! (And should be running in general.)

  • The state of this system is monitored in the Hall C alarm handler, and can be overseen by the Hall C Shift crew using the stripchart on the left large wall display (see below).

Instructions

• Parity DAQ Running - with Hall C Feedback passively running (Aug 02, 2020 HClog entry)

  • Bring up this vnc session using go_parity_feedback under the cdaq account.

• Hall C running parity DAQ for charge feedback (Feb 12, 2020 HCLog entry) -- OLD, just for reference.

Useful Commands

• go_parity Injector parity settings (IHWP status, Hall Laser IA settings, etc)
• go_parity_feedback Bring up the Parity DAQ charge feedback VNC session (if Hall C is running alone; see below)
• go_Qasym_stripchart Bring up the Hall C Charge Asym monitoring stripcharts (these should always be up on the big wall screens)

Needs to be done when insertable half wave plate (IHWP) state is changed

• This only has to be done when Hall A is not controlling the Aq feedback
• stop the run (parity daq)
• in the vnc session from above
• ssh apar@adaq2
• cd ~/feedback2019
• ./FlipPCvaluesHallC You should see the hallc_IACell_setting variable change on the wall
• ./checkPCvaules
• start a run (parity daq)
