    • In the last 24 hours:
      • Production data taken after 10:30 AM Weds.
      • Long mode run
      • Black spots on diamonds
      • Total triggers collected during last period: 3099M

    • DAQ issues:
      • 5:42 - The DAQ keeps giving us "SEBO: Client has not reported for xx sec." errors, but then recovers after a minute. This happens every ~20mins or so. We will restart the DAQ again after the current run finishes.
      • ~22:00 - Monitoring stops working, have to start/stop runs several times to get events flowing through secondary ET
  4. Monitoring
  5. Run Plan
    • Production
    • Triggers: In-time random? Min-bias? FCAL+BCAL+ST?
  6. Offline Analysis
    • TAC runs?
