I ramped the PMC gain slider to find where it oscillates. It starts going bad at ~13 dB, so the new default gain is 7 dB to give us some margin for alignment improvements, etc.
I also fixed the TIME field in our MEDM screens by adding the following text to the C1IFO_STATE.db file which runs on c1iscaux:
grecord(stringin, "C0:TIM-PACIFIC_STRING")
{
field(DESC, "Current time and date")
field(DTYP, "EPICS IOC VAR")
field(SCAN, "1 second")
field(INP, "C1:FEC-34_TIME_STRING")
}
grecord(stringin, "C0:IFO-TIME_PACIFIC")
{
field(DESC, "Current time and date")
field(DTYP, "EPICS IOC VAR")
field(SCAN, "1 second")
field(INP, "C1:FEC-34_TIME_STRING")
}
This gets the time info from the c1ioo processor via channel access and gives it these mroe reasonable names. The first record is for backwards compatibility. The second record is a better name and we should use it in the future for all new screens. I had to reboot c1iscaux several times to figure out the right syntax, but its OK now. You have to reopen stale screens to get the field to refresh.
This avoids the previous idea of changing all of the MEDM screens. |
