17 | 47 | Boyd, Steven | |
18 | 48 | Boyd, Steven | These documents are provided by the magnet group. The instructions are at somewhat of a higher level |
19 | than required by shifters. The basic instruction for shifters is: |
||
20 | |||
21 | If you see something out of the ordinary with the superconducting magnets (Alarm, Anything red on the display) |
||
22 | call the magnet expert. |

||
30 | |||
31 | 22 | Boyd, Steven | As part of your shift you should keep a record of people present, the main parameters of the |
32 | run and incidents that occurred during the run. A good example is shown in the |
||
33 | |||
34 | 23 | Boyd, Steven | Guide to using the eLog for shift : attachment:Shifter_Elog_Guide.pdf |
35 | |||
36 | Note that in the example given in this guide, the shifters were explicitly asked to check the temperature differentials |
||
37 | in the conventional magnets every half hour. |

65 | 12 | Boyd, Steven | |
66 | 51 | Nebrensky, Henry | [[BeamlineProcsTargetFail|... the RATS daemon crashes]] |
67 | 59 | Franchini, Paolo | [[BeamlineProcsTargetFail|... a BPS error is encountered]] |
68 | 32 | Nebrensky, Henry | [[BeamlineProcsEarthLeakTrip|... a conventional magnet trips off]] |
69 | 34 | Nebrensky, Henry | [[BeamlineProcsTargetFail|... the target throws an error]] |
70 | 36 | Nebrensky, Henry | ... beamline polarity sensors misbehave: [[BeamlineProcsTestPOMPOMs|check voltages]] (until the proper user guide is finished) |
71 | 37 | Nebrensky, Henry | [[BeamlineProcsDSThermalTrip|... Decay Solenoid PSU trips off]] |
72 | 13 | Boyd, Steven | |
73 | 46 | Boyd, Steven | h2. What to do when you are requested by the BLOC to reset one of the conventional magnets |
74 | |||
75 | * Press the Controls Menu desktop GUI |
||
76 | * under BeamLine Elements, select BeamLine Summary |
||
77 | * press the third option, control option on the right hand side of the Beamline summary GUI |
||
78 | * the Danfysik MPS 8000 - MICE Beamline Magnets window opens |
||
79 | * press the Reset option in the second box, control box of this window. |

83 | 55 | Franchini, Paolo | h3. What if the Heartbeat alarm goes off? |
84 | 1 | Boyd, Steven | |
85 | 55 | Franchini, Paolo | * Click on the "P" near the broken (red) machine in the GUI: it will show you the Nagios services that have failed |
86 | * Double-check with "Nagios":http://nagios.micenet.rl.ac.uk/nagios/ (u/p = mice/t8******), or |
||
87 | * Double-check with "Nagios":http://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/nagios/ (u/p = mice/c****) |

88 | 52 | Nebrensky, Henry | |
89 | h3. What if one of the MICE thin clients crashes? |
||
90 | |||
91 | 62 | Franchini, Paolo | Very rarely one the thin clients can crash like this http://elog.mice.rl.ac.uk/Shift+summary/150623_043853/MICETHIN02_error_230615.JPG |
92 | 1 | Boyd, Steven | |
93 | 18 | Boyd, Steven | The current response to this is : |
94 | |||
95 | If the applications that had been running on the machine can just be opened elsewhere, then they should be, and an email |
||
96 | should be sent to the online expert (Paolo). If the process hasn't been released by the machine, and can't be run |
||
97 | in multiple instances (i.e. RunControl) then the SOC should be called, who will in turn probably call the online |
||
98 | 1 | Boyd, Steven | expert. |
99 | 25 | Boyd, Steven | |
100 | 52 | Nebrensky, Henry | h3. What if an error from the DataMover is reported from Run Control |
101 | 25 | Boyd, Steven | |
102 | If an error is reported via Run Control then the shifters don't NEED to do anything - they can |
||
103 | carry on with the next run; all that will happen is that the data distribution will be delayed. |
||
104 | |||
105 | Make an eLog entry, then wait until a suitable time when DAQ is stopped (e.g a shift change) and run the manual |
||
106 | script. If it still doesn't work, eLog the error and escalate to (for now) Henry. |
||
107 | 27 | Boyd, Steven | |
