All measurements recorded every shot naturally.

System What Test Status Who  
Beam Loss Monitors Acquisition - CMW, subscription, concentration, republish for monitors involved Thurs 31st July Done Marek  
  FD - histogram - etc. Bespoke display for standard control use - configurable - select monitors - history etc.- Thurs 31st July In place Fabio  
  Expert application: detailed look at acquired data. Timed acquistion - read buffer - software trigger     BI (Stephen Jackson...)  
  Specialized application for BLM threshold management and adjustment - MCS [won't be used in sector test but should test]. Also test procedures - removal of beam permit etc. Will not try during test

Done - ready to test

Greg -
 

Study buffer - trigger on injection event

& application (Fabio)

Magnets
  • Model of decay - will have decay full on
  • Transfer functions
  • Harmonic Errors - not important but can set anyway

On-line Model

Ilya/Frank/Jutta - work in progress - basics for on-line model

Machine Sequencer

  Test Who  
Task: create actual settings Week 31

Reyes

 
Task: set all power converters
Task: sequence injection requests - interface with CBCM
Task: maintain mode and distribute mode change
Software start, injection requests etc etc

Timing & Transfer

Task   Who  

Interface to timing system:
- Injection request [request to play LHC pilot cycle in SPS]
- Timing event request
- pump stuff into telegram

Done Delphine  
Transfer synchronization: pre-pulses   Andy  

Fixed Displays

Display Resources
  • Display of injection screens: 2-d images, profiles, beam sizes & positions - OK
  • Fixed displays of transfer lines: bunch currents, beam sizes, beam loses, beam position, screens - OK
  • BPMs - yasp + intensity OK
  • BCT - OK
  • Interlocks, QPS, Energy extraction, cryogenics summary status, power converter status - OK
  • Alice - Kris Kostro at work - Markus will pick this up over CMW
  • Radiation monitors
  • TDI, collimator positions -OK
  • Monitoring (vacuum, cryogenics, QPS, PIC, Software Interlocks, BIC) - OK
Markus. Using standard facilites hopefully. Should be a matter of configuration - weeks plus support

Accelerator/beam mode

Run control from sequencer - OK

Radiation Monitoring

Critical Settings

Not strictly required. Test with BLM thresholds. Verena leading charge. Will use sub-set of LSA functionality. NOT DURING TEST.

RBAC

Should be tested - should not get in the way of the test - check. Leave it.

Hardware Interlocks

Power permit and abort (PICs) will need to be in place. WIC. Alice. Vacuum.

Software Interlocks

What are we monitoring? Jorg, Jakob

Transfer line - everything

MKI Soft start

LHC PC state, SD currents

NFS data repository

OK - clock the fill number - Done - to test

Standard facilities

Take as given the standard facilities for all systems.
