DEVELOPMENT STATUS

After discussions with Martin, the shell-based control option hvcontrol_HBD has been worked out and extended for all our HV needs: Functions as init, quick_init, standby, operating, disable, set_tripcurrent, etc. are made easily

available for users on va022 (hvserver needs to be running!) So far, one would have to change all config data in the perl script manually… Not any more! The

new script loads at every start-up the new data from hvdb, one central database every GUI client uses

Documentation on how to use it at /hv_stuff/hvcontrol_HBD coming soon!

Major VA Server Update Completed Successfully! Global HV parameters update every 5sec in one-time transmission, triggered by the client!

Software-based Trip-Behavior Function added to HV Control Based on monitoring measured (peak) current changes in 5sec update frame

DEVELOPMENT STATUS

VA racks have been moved and reconnected to network Due to complaints from RCF about gateway activities due to telnet usage of the HV

Control, communication has been changed to SSH. New communication setup still in testing & improving…

RELAY BOARD RACK IN IR

All Relay Board issues have been completely resolved! In order to protect the VERY sensitive L1471Ns, customized 1U Aluminum boxes

were built and placed in our own rack Setup successfully tested without any trips up to 4kV! The Relay Board Rack will be installed up to the bridge in IR (2nd Level)

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

HBD Simulation Project will find it’s end on installation date! Step 1: Removing Tunnel from 1008 to 510

LeCroy Module Tests NOW in the IR Step 2: LV Output tests of all 6 HBD-modified & calibrated Run9 L1471Ns with Fluke

+ Running HV Control on Laptop in IR

+ NO HV connection to actual detector!!!

HBD East (1471N #1-3) & HBD West (1471N #4-6) Hook-Up Step 3: Connecting HV modules to Relay Board Rack & Repeat Step 2 Step 4: (Re-)Connecting Relay Boards with Dividers Hardware Installation Complete
