Scalers

Record the visual scalers in the chart below.  Do not stop the scalers to make the measurements (make estimates where necessary).  Do not reset the scalers.

Scalers are reset only at 10 am.  Each morning at 10 am, the shift crew should reset the scalers and record the reset time in the online logbook.

Please write any comments you feel pertinent ('start of run', 'middle of long store', 'beams steered in our area', etc.)

Radiation Monitor Checklist L3

Instructions Measurements Comments Actions To Take
1.) Click on "Beam Loss Monitors" on portal. Then click on Spikes last 48 hrs. Have there been any spikes in the last 8 hours that have not already been noted in the logbook?
YES ___
NO ___
  Yes: Call MCR to see what was being done during that time and write note in logbook. Then continue to 2.)

No: Continue to 2.)
2.) In "Beam Loss Monitor" page, click on each value in  'Dose' column to view history for that monitor. Check for spuriously high doses 3.6 rad/hr above the base level not already noted in logbook in BLMs (ignore spuriously low values) and in chipmunks. Read documentation for description of base level.   Yes: Call MCR to find out if they were doing anything during that time and write note in logbook. Then continue to 3.)

No: continue to 3.)
3.) Check the nominal status for the radiation monitoring. Does the BLM entry say ON?
YES ___
NO ___
  Yes: Proceed to step 4.)

No: You are done with the check for this subsytem.
4.) Is the Radiation Monitoring Program even open (both BLM and Chipmunks)?
YES ___
NO ___
  Yes: go onto 5.)

No: Double click the icon on the desktop labeled BLMmonitor for the BLM display and Chipmunkmonitor for the Chipmunk display. Click the white arrow in the upper left to run the program and go on to 5.)
5.) Are the charts in the front scrolling (slowly) and do the instant doses and the timestamp on the BLM display appear to be updating?
YES ___
NO ___
  Yes: You are done with the check for this subsystem.

No: Proceed to 6.) in the radiation monitoring documentation.

DAQ Checklist L3

Instructions Measurements Comments Actions To Take
1) Make sure DAQ is running. GUI should be visible on the DAQ x-term

YES ____
NO ____

   Yes: Continue checklist 
No: If there isn't a good reason for DAQ not running(development/commissioning), start up the  GUI and DAQ using documentation.
2) Check that Run Status button is Green. 

YES ____
NO ____

   Yes: Make sure Event counter is increasing (updates every 5 seconds) and you are done with the check for this subsytem. Proceed to checking the online systems are running getting data from DAQ.
No: Continue checklist
Is the RUN status Red? YES ____
NO______		 DAQ was stopped Yes:The DAQ should usually be running collecting data. Red button indicates No Run in progress. Press STOP run a couple of times and Use the documentation to start a new run of type determined by current beam/detector status.
Nominally 
[RunType=PADDLECOSM, Silicon disabled] for trigger commissioning.
[RunType= ALLBEAM, Silicon enabled] for normal data-taking. 

Refer to documentation if you have problems.
No: (if you have problems) continue checklist
If you pressed Start Run and got no response (most common mode of failure) YES____
NO______		   Yes:Refer to documentation to restart the GUI and try starting a new run. Make sure RunSetup selections (Silicon enable/disable, Fastbus enable/disable switches) are set properly, and be sure to wait between steps like stopping and starting runs.

Note in the Shift Logbook in as much detail as possible, the conditions under which the freeze occured, so expert can look at it.

If problems persist, call Expert

Yes c  No c

If NO, exit 'LabView' and double click on the 'Magnet Monitoring' icon on the desktop.   
Go to the front face of the Magnet Power Supply in the utility building, look at the thermometer. Temperature is: 

_____ deg C

If the temperature is ~30 deg. C, try to increase the airflow in the utility building by opening doors etc.   
Look at 'StatusStringM' in the window, does the string say 'Off'? Magnet is 

On c  Stby c  Off c

 If the magnet is 'Off' you can ignore 'Fault' or 'Component Fault' messages.
