Arrived this morning to find lots of garbage output and multiple automatic restarts in the UART log. Water drips? Overheating? This just goes to show our need for a better cooling solution!
The first crash was at 12:18 pm (shortly after noon), after 280,036 pulses on PMT2, and 110,912 pulses on PMT1. However, there was a good bit of garbage output even before then. The last clean data was at 11:06 am at pulse 279,719 (PMT2) and 110,787 (PMT1). The run started at 5:15 pm the night before. Thus the run length was 17 hours 49 minutes = 1,069 minutes; the average pulse rate was 261.96 ppm on PMT1 and 103.75 ppm on PMT2.
Now doing a data-analysis run (anal-pulses.sce) to check the coincidence count. This experiment was performed with the two paddles stacked on top of each other, so we are expecting a high count. Indeed, it is looking like the count will be high.
Emailed the Senior Design team to get them in here. Darryl and David are re-hired to help train the new students. Also added Dr. Ordonez to the Blackboard group and emailed him asking for a meeting time.
