||
24 | |||
25 | 22 | Boyd, Steven | As part of your shift you should keep a record of people present, the main parameters of the |
26 | run and incidents that occurred during the run. A good example is shown in the |
||
27 | |||
28 | 23 | Boyd, Steven | Guide to using the eLog for shift : attachment:Shifter_Elog_Guide.pdf |
29 | |||
30 | Note that in the example given in this guide, the shifters were explicitly asked to check the temperature differentials |
||
31 | in the conventional magnets every half hour. |

55 | |||
56 | * Press the Controls Menu desktop GUI |
||
57 | * under BeamLine Elements, select BeamLine Summary |
||
58 | * press the third option, control option on the right hand side of the Beamline summary GUI |
||
59 | * the Danfysik MPS 8000 - MICE Beamline Magnets window opens |
||
60 | * press the Reset option in the second box, control box of this window. |

63 | |||
64 | 26 | Boyd, Steven | Very rarely one the thin clients can crash like this https://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/elog/Shift+summary/150623_043853/MICETHIN02_error_230615.JPG |

66 | 18 | Boyd, Steven | The current response to this is : |
67 | |||
68 | If the applications that had been running on the machine can just be opened elsewhere, then they should be, and an email |
||
69 | should be sent to the online expert (Paolo). If the process hasn't been released by the machine, and can't be run |
||
70 | in multiple instances (i.e. RunControl) then the SOC should be called, who will in turn probably call the online |
||
71 | expert. |
||
72 | 25 | Boyd, Steven | |
73 | h2. What if an error from the DataMover is reported from Run Control |
||
74 | |||
75 | If an error is reported via Run Control then the shifters don't NEED to do anything - they can |
||
76 | carry on with the next run; all that will happen is that the data distribution will be delayed. |
||
77 | |||
78 | Make an eLog entry, then wait until a suitable time when DAQ is stopped (e.g a shift change) and run the manual |
||
79 | script. If it still doesn't work, eLog the error and escalate to (for now) Henry. |
