JInventory Plans
Serguei outlined plans for upgrade to the JInventory database.
- Info on electronics boards will come from Fernando's spreadsheets.
- Will use the housing hierarchy and a 5-level system for electronics boards. Special GUI will be created for this with only relevant fields.
- Barcode labels have been ordered.
- He will propose new conventions for the Brand-Format-Model field.
- Some mistakes in database will be fixed.
- Some unneeded columns will be removed or moved to BFM table (e.g. documentation belongs with BFM, not item).
- Will merge with CLAS12 effort and implement cable database (how to use TBD).
- Will we derive the translation table from the JInventory database?
Solenoid Mapping
Must be ready to go prior to run, no time to figure things out while the magnet is cold. Yi ordered a new PXI board for mapping channels.
FCAL Dark Room
Parts arriving, installation in progress. Most sensors on order, looking for appropriate light sensors.
Solenoid Test
Mark et al. connected the Cryo group's HDR signal into our fast dump chain. They will trigger a fast dump if there are immanent catastrophic problems in the cryo plant.
PLC Test Stand
This will be moved into the Rack Room (we are leaving the ARC building). A new switch will be installed in the PLC test rack. Dave's computer needs a home. The equipment will be on the Hall D controls network, and Dave's computer on the development network. Dave will reprogram devices accordingly. Many devices in the test stand will eventually be deployed in the hall.
