=== Hall Delta ===
 
 
It's good practice to refer to our hall as Delta when talking to MCC, to make sure that there is no acoustic confusion between us and Hall B.
 
 
=== Screenshot tool ===
 
 
"Alt L" brings up the [[Logbook_Screenshot_Tool | screenshot tool for making E-log entries]]
 
 
=== FCAL Base lockup ===
 
 
If FCAL HV bases lose communication and stop providing high voltage, refer to https://halldweb.jlab.org/hdops/wiki/index.php/Forward_Calorimeter_Shift#FCAL_Base_lockup
 
 
=== CDC Weather alarm ===
 
 
aka Alarm on HD:coda:cdc:p_diff.
 
See https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4117725
 
* Stop run - Acknowledge alarm and document it - Start new run
 
We are temporarily using Hall B sensor for our alarm, see [https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4117725 Alternative Barometric Pressure Measurement]
 
<!--The alarm has been disabled, see logbook entries [https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4114344 4114344], [https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4114307 4114307]-->
 
 
=== DIRC Communication Error at Run Start ===
 
 
When starting a new run, one of the DIRC FPGA boards may lose communication resulting in a Magenta communication error in the Alarm Tree, refer to [https://halldweb.jlab.org/hdops/wiki/index.php/DIRC_Shift#DIRC_Communication_Error_at_run_start this page] for a fix.
 
 
=== After beam restoration ===
 
 
* See [[Beam_Line_Detectors_Shift#Collimator_and_Radiators]] on how to move radiators and collimator
 
 
* check the '''radiation levels''' without radiator and then with the radiator
 
** see the whiteboard (bottom RHS corner of the RH board) - there are columns of values expected without and with the radiator
 
* '''retract the radiator'''
 
* '''collimator in blocking position'''
 
* ask MCC to do their harp scan
 
* our '''harp scans''': follow the instructions in [[Beam_Line_Detectors_Shift#Radiator_Harp_Scan]]
 
 
=== rootspy  ===
 
 
If you have to restart rootspy, [[Online_Monitoring_Shift#Routine_Operation]], and it crashes, you might have to restart the monitoring process, find help at [[Online_Monitoring_Shift#Starting_and_stopping_the_Monitoring_System]].
 
 
=== DAQ issues ===
 
 
Call the expert. In case they suggest that you restart the DAQ, find information at [[Data_Acquisition_Shift]].
 
 
In case the DAQ issue is '''low lifetime''':
 
* In case there is time (eg beam down), call the expert so that he can track down the problem.
 
* Restart the DAQ, if that does not help, call the expert.
 
 
=== BTA sheet ===
 
 
* The '''BTA''' guidelines are at [[BTA_guidelines]]. <br> After loading the EPICS values, you may change the values, eg round them up or down.
 
** '''BANU values''' should be reflected in the PCC (or UED) value (else the aftermath doesnt work out for RC), put a comment for > 5minutes.
 
** '''UED:''' unplanned experiment down (hardware failure).
 
 
=== Bottom Alcohol Bubbler ===
 
 
*We are not using the bottom alcohol bubbler. It is expected that its level is "ADD" and that it is not bubbling [https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4108449 log entry]
