Due to today's H2 DAQ work, I reconfigured H1 DAQ to also acquire the VACUUM and FMCS EPICS channels. The process was:
h2ldasgw0 and h2ldasgw1; stop acquiring data, tar up the raw minute files for all the VE and FMCS channels. These tar files were 62GB and 48GB respectively, and have 277 and 382 number of channels respectively.
compess the VE and FMCS tar files, size reduced to 18GB and 8GB respectively.
copy the h2ldasgw0 files to h1ldasgw0, copy the h2ldasgw1 files to h1ldasgw1. Uncompress and install the VE and FMCS files into the minute_raw trends dirctory on h1ldasgw[0,1]
Reconfigure h1fw0 and h1fw1 to acquire VE and FMCS files. The H0EDCU_VE.ini and H0EDCU_FMCS.ini files were copied from H2 DAQ to H1 DAQ.
The H1 DAQ was restarted. VE and FMCS data in full frames, second frames and minute frames started from scratch. The raw minute trend frames were then appended with the latest data, and all previous minute trends are available back to the VE and FMCS epoch.
In addition, the H1 TIMING EPICS channels from the h1ecatc0 IOC were added to the frame. These channels cover the status of the H1 Timing Master in the MSR. The new channels have the prefix H1:CDS-TIMING_
The new ini file is called H1EDCU_TIMING.ini
Patrick reminded me that a trend of this weekend's dust monitors would be also valuable to preserve, so I have just added the H0EDCU_PEM.ini to the H1 DAQ (dust and weather station data). In this case I did not have time to copy the raw minute trend files, so these channels are starting from scratch at 18:30 Friday.
