UPS

We need an FCC Class B UPS for the tagger area, and we're still hoping to send filtered power from the big UPS in the counting house down to the hall. We need to collect requirements for both locations (Tim asked Elliott to do this).


EPICS Development

Vanik is leaving in a week or so. He gave a summary of the work he did during the past six months. Most recent was the tagger microscope stage:

  • Table has three legs, one motor per leg.
  • Each motor gives small angle change, need to coordinate group motion.
  • Vanik added group motion capability to driver (original by Mark Rivers).
  • Testing and debugging started, some problems with encoder.
  • Controller can handle max 8 axes, using 3 for this application.
  • Other components (motors, limit switches, etc) working.

He also worked on:

  • Goniometer measurement, control and testing with Yi, including laser measurements and motion analysis.
  • HV/LV control gui's, python scripts and CSS development.
    • implemented group operations
    • work on drivers with Nerses
    • for FDC, CDC, BCAL, PS (high granularity), FCAL coming soon, others

When he returns in April he will continue to work on:

  • HV/LV remaining detectors.
  • Tagger microscope.
  • HARPs.
  • Goniometer with Ken Livingston.
