today we restarted the DAQ about 16 times. I'll abbreviate this as DR.

First due to the restart of h1iscey the new h1pemey model was loaded. A DR was needed to resync the DAQ.

I created a new h1peml0 model as per Roberts latest changes. I restarted h1peml0 and did a DR.

Bad DUST channels in the DAQ. We found that some of the DUST EPICS channels went bad in the frame starting 7/9 when I added EX to the DAQ. To verify this I first took out all the ECAT channels from the EDCU (DR), and then I removed all the EX systems from the DAQ (DR).

The number of EDCU channels changed from 195,003 to 191,506 to 173,744. At the lowest number the DUST channels became good again.

To figure out what number of channels would break it again I put the ECAT channels back in (DR) and then h1susex (DR). The number of channels went to from 177,241 to 185,360 at which point some DUST channels went back to not as many. Later I put the system back to the full 195,007 (DR) and the full set of bad DUST channels came back.

For more info we moved DUST channels around in the H0EDCU_DUST.ini (DR) and found that the position within the file determined which ones were bad (for e.g. 3rd and 5th slots were bad). We moved the order of the H0EDCU_DUST.ini in the master file (DR)(did not change anything) and removed the H0EDCU_WEATHER.ini from the DAQ (DR)(did not change anything).

Hugo found ADC noise on the ISI HAM6 system. We power cycled the h1seih16 front end computer and the IO Chassis with no success. I removed the ADC cable and the noise went away. At this point I handed the problem over to Richard and Filiburto.

The latest Beckhoff ini files were ingested into the DAQ (DR)

A reminder that all our fast DAQ channels show up in RED due to the incorrect dataValid flag. This will be fixed next week when we upgrade to RCG2.7
