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.

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

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.
