FDC testing status
- Final results from the scope test (done by Anatoly) of all the channels with FDC in its final position are in the spreadsheet linked above. About 50 strip channels (0.4% of all the strips) are identified as having some kind of problem, almost all of them related to the conductive tape issue. As compared to the scope tests done after the first "final" insertion almost nothing changed, i.e. the re-insertion didn't create additional problems.
- Comparing with the Beni's DAQ results: all the problematic channels from the scope test can be identified in the Beni's histograms as deviating from the neighboring channels, except several channels that are probably dominated by a noise. In addition to the 50 bad channels from the scope test, there are about 30 new bad channels in the Beni's results. Lubomir looked with a scope into 10 of these channels and didn't find any problem. Fernando and Chris did similar test with a scope and concluded for most of the channels the signals at the input of the fADCs are good. However, according the Beni the problematic channels move with the cable. Therefore Fernando suspects it might be the front panel on the fADC that prevents the cable connector from completely going in the fADC connector. They will investigate this.
Engineering
- Last week the FDC was moved downstream by about 5mm (to make space for the CDC) without releasing the cables. According to Casey they just looked to make sure there's no tension on the cables. Then stoppers were installed on both FDC and CDC side on the rail. On Tuesday survey of the FDC in its final position was done. Important is that they were able to see all the 16 reflectors installed on the periphery of the packages. Before that the CDC was surveyed: it is off by 7mm downstream with respect to the nominal position (Eugene).
