 Sat Oct 5 22:59:58 2019, Dinko Ferencek, Software, Problem with elComandante Keithley client during full qualification
|
A new attempt to run the full qualification for M1532 was made on Friday, Oct. 4, but the Keithely client crashed with the same error message. This time
we managed to see from log files that the crash happened after the first IV measurement at -20 C was complete and Keithley was reset to -150 V. Unfortunately,
the log files were now saved for the test on Tuesday so we couldn't confirm that the crash occurred at the same point. |

|
Due to different DAC settings needed for PROC V3 and V4, a single folder containing module configuration files cannot cover both ROC types. To address this
problem, the existing folder 'tbm10d' in /home/l_tester/L1_SW/pxar/data/ containing configuration for PROC V4 was renamed to 'tbm10d_procv4' and a new
folder for PROC V3, 'tbm10d_procv3', was created. For backward compatibility, a symbolic link 'tbm10d' was created that points to 'tbm10d_procv4'.

|
We did some tests by running the latest version of pXar on modules M1521, M1529, M1534 and M1536, specifically trimming and PH optimization. Of the 4 modules
tested, the PH optimization converged only for M1521. We plan to further investigate with Urs' help possible reasons for failed PH optimization.

Wed Jan 22 11:39:48 2020, Dinko Ferencek, Software, BB2 configuration
|
When attempting to run the FullQualification this morning, pXar crashed while running the BB2 test. After some investigation, we realized the source of
the problem was the BB2 configuration missing from testParameters.dat. The configuration is available in moreTestParameters.dat but by default the mkConfig
script does not put it in testParameters.dat. Since we run BB2 in the FullQualification, the configuration needs to be copied by hand every time the configuration |

|
Yesterday during an attempt to run the FullQualification, elComandante would lose control over Keithley after performing the IV curve measurements and would
go in the subsequent Fulltest with HV off. This happened both between the two sets of tests at -20 C and between the tests at -20 C and +10 C. Today we
exchanged the old Keithley with a new one and we observe that the communication with this new Keithley is much smoother without any error codes and warning |
