- Painted 4 scintillator sheet pairs:
- Sheets 48 & 23 with primer – one layer to glue pair.
- Sheets 54 & 1 with appliance – one layer to glue pair.
- Sheets 52 & 11 with appliance and then primer to glue pair – 10-15 mins for appliance layer to dry.
- Sheets 53 & 2 with appliance and then primer to glue pair – 30-40 mins for appliance layer to dry.
- Neither combination gives acceptable results: lots of gaps in paint layer due to either inconsistencies in sheet thickness, placement misalignment or paint reaction.
- Placement of sheets when glueing is difficult: not much room to adjust once placed as this ruins paint layer.
- Will paint 32 sheets for beam test with single coat of primer to be ready for beam tests.
- New fitting routine using Gauss–Legendre algorithm and Fumili minimiser implemented into photodiode scripts.
- New routine gives reasonable results where default options either fail or give strange fit results.
- With a given set of fit results, Gauss–Legendre draws Bortfeld curve slightly differently compared to default Adaptive Singular algorithm.
- Might require some optimisation of numerical parameters to correct this. Will investigate, but might be that "slow, accurate, non-live" fit uses slower Adaptive Singular algorithm to draw curves.
- Organised new inventory and beam test equipment into new DeWalt tower – tower kept in D109.
- Installed Argon One V2 case on Raspberry Pi.
- FTDI script doesn't max out CPU on Pi or cause temperature to rise significantly – performance issues not due to a lack of power.
- Adding "-O3" optimisation flag when compiling FTDI script gives significant performance improvements on both Pi and Mac.
- With 4 modules, Mac now gives average time per read of 172us rather than 188us, with an integration time of 170us.
- With 2 modules, Pi down to 200us from 750us. Still observe some freezes during acquisitions, but far fewer than before.
- Also observe improvement in frame rate of replay script with this flag. Fitting and plotting scripts are largely the same.
- Will install ROOT on Pi and compile fitting and plotting scripts.
