  1. Offline status of the FMD Kristján Gulbrandsen Niels Bohr Institute Kristján Gulbrandsen, NBI

  2. HW Detector Status • FMD3 installed • fully HW tested • FMD2 installed • initially HW tested • Full testing with miniframe (~Nov.) • FMD1 not yet installed • Installation ~Feb. FMD1 FMD2 FMD3 C-side A-side Kristján Gulbrandsen, NBI

  3. Geometry • Geometry consists of TGeo objects • Geometry constructed by half-rings (for alignment) • FMD3 • All material described • FMD2 • Most material described • Some support structure missing • FMD1 • Support needs better description • Check of final positions necessary Kristján Gulbrandsen, NBI

  4. Calibration • 2 types of calibration necessary • Pedestals • Gains • Gains taken in standalone run • Procedure implemented on FE Firmware • Injects known charge into pre-amplifiers • Pedestals can be done 2 ways • Standalone run with no beam • In beam run with past-future protection Kristján Gulbrandsen, NBI

  5. DCS: Start Calib. run DCS FE-DB FEE CDB Calib. run PedestalFinder GainFinder LDC Calibration procedure • Pedestal and Gain Finders written for standalone runs • Ped. - normal run, no beam • Gain - special run • Not in Aliroot • Need info from DCS • Fx. Oversampling • Need DCM from CDB • Possibly send peds to FEE Kristján Gulbrandsen, NBI

  6. DAQ DA DA FEE DAQ Logbook DB DCS FE DB OCDB DAQ FXS DCS FXS Shuttle Direct Communication? DCS Shuttle • Fetch files from FXS(s) and put in OCDB • Interact with DAQ and DCS networks • Not clear how to get info from DCS FE DB • Procedure depends on new RCU Firmware Kristján Gulbrandsen, NBI

  7. Other Open Tasks • EVE Display • Stands as open task (because we didn’t do it) • Was this implemented by someone else? • Digit Quality Assurance • Don’t know what should be done here - need input • Survey Data Format • Only needed for FMD1 • Will be done early next year • HLT output • FMD has no HLT output Kristján Gulbrandsen, NBI

  8. Planning • Main goal is to prepare for dress rehearsal • Prioritize tasks based on this criterion • Automatic procedures get high priority • For offline shuttle is most important • Manpower • C. Holm must work on Ph.D. thesis until Jan. • Offline work hopefully to be done by current research assistant (prospective Ph.D. student) Kristján Gulbrandsen, NBI
