Notes
After the 2014 anneal, detector 4 is UNSEGMENTED.
- On May 21 starting at 19:24 UTC we raised up the Slow threshold for the Front segment.
15-141-19:24:10 start idib_chg_thrshld (4, FRONT, SLOW, 0x68) --> Was 0x60
15-141-19:24:22 /IDPUDUMPTABL TABLE=DIBTBL4
15-141-19:24:22 /IDPUTABLE4 OFFSET=FRONTSLOWDAC
15-141-19:24:31 /IDPLOAD VALUE=0x68
- Raised front fast threshold due to elevated counts. This change reduced counts and increased livetime
2015-152-17:00:18 /IDPUTABLE4 OFFSET=FRONTFASTDAC
2015-152-17:00:31 /IDPLOAD VALUE=0x60 ; was 0x50
- On 2015 July 7, D4 front fast threshold was raised due to decreased livetime.
2015-188-18:48:17 /IDPUTABLE4 OFFSET=FRONTFASTDAC
2015-188-18:48:34 /IDPLOAD VALUE=0x70 ; was 0x60
- The front fast threshold was increased on July 10 2015 due to low livetime due to high fast rates. This action was effective in raising the livetime.
2015-191-19:21:17 /IDPUTABLE4 OFFSET=FRONTFASTDAC
2015-191-19:21:25 /IDPLOAD VALUE=0x80 ; was 0x70
- The front fast threshold was increased on July 24 2015 due to low livetime due to high fast rates. This action was effective in raising the livetime, to ~90%.
2015-205-17:22:21 /IDPUTABLE4 OFFSET=FRONTFASTDAC
2015-205-17:22:30 /IDPLOAD VALUE=0x90 ; was 0x80
- 2015-08-13: Front slow valid threshold was raised by 10 steps; trying to get the slow valid rates down.
2015-225-16:45:08 /IDPUTABLE4 OFFSET=FRONTSLOWDAC
2015-225-16:45:20 /IDPLOAD VALUE=0x80 ; was 0x70
- On Aug 20, 2015 the front fast threshold was raised, in two commands of 16 steps each, in order to lower fast rates and free up livetime. This was successful but probably needs to be repeated. Livetime rose from ~0% to ~50%. The D4 threshold should be raised again to further raise the livetime.
15-232-22:17:53 start idib_chg_thrshld (4, FRONT, FAST, 0xA0)
15-232-22:18:12 /IDPUDUMPTABL TABLE=DIBTBL4
15-232-22:18:12 /IDPUTABLE4 OFFSET=FRONTFASTDAC
15-232-22:18:25 /IDPLOAD VALUE=0xA0
15-232-22:19:13 start idib_chg_thrshld (4, FRONT, FAST, 0xB0)
15-232-22:19:23 /IDPUDUMPTABL TABLE=DIBTBL4
15-232-22:19:23 /IDPUTABLE4 OFFSET=FRONTFASTDAC
15-232-22:19:32 /IDPLOAD VALUE=0xB0
- On Aug 24, 2015 the front fast threshold was raised twice to free up livetime. This was successful. Note that these changes are working, but we're almost out of head room!
2015-236-20:44:08 /IDPUTABLE4 OFFSET=FRONTFASTDAC
2015-236-20:44:22 /IDPLOAD VALUE=0xD0 ; was 0xB0
2015-237-00:02:14 /IDPUTABLE4 OFFSET=FRONTFASTDAC
2015-237-00:02:22 /IDPLOAD VALUE=0xE0 ; was 0xD0
- As was discussed during the last meeting, detector 4 showed elevated slow front rates. Following the suggestions of the previous tohban, on August 27 the slow front threshold was increased but no change was observed at all. As the front fast rates were also elevated, a change in the front fast threshold was performed. This change increased its livetimes and the slow front rates, as was expected. Then we decrease D4 HV by 200V, a very conservative value as we would like the detector to segment. However the HV change did not have any impact the front slow rates. The detector remains in the same condition with the slow front threshold at 0xC3.

2015-239-21:15:53 /ihvdac detector=4, voltage=221
- The front fast threshold was changed on Sep 9 2015 due to low livetime. HV was lowered.
