Misc AMANDA work today
Author: Erik
To continue the winterover training on AMANDA, we spent the afternoon with A. Gross at MAPO.
what we did is :
- Repaired (firmware) 2 bad TWR cards, which were replaced during the winter
- Defined and trained on a proper shutdown procedure for next March
- To test the 2 newly repaired TWR's, we replaced one of those with (4,C)
- Switched all the TWR's back on
- Noticed 2 TWR's were fried in crate 5 : (5,1) and (5,B)
- Replaced those with card formally in (4,C) and the new repaired one
- Turned AMANDA back on, launched a standalone run, tested data, and congratulated ourselves of the success
- Repaired the 2 dead TWR's by reprogramming the firmware
The 2 fresh TWR's are stored on top of the black cabinet, as spares for the next time someone wants to switch down and restart AMANDA.
