This page contains useful infomations for the commissioning of the SMT
News:
- Dec 14 First interface crate for SMT-SE installed on gallery
- Dec 18 first interface card installed
- Jan
04 real H-wedge readout to L3
- inner H-disk north connected to low mass cables and tested
- Jan 15 inner H-disk south connected to low mass cables and tested
- Feb 18 several ladders and disks in SE and SW connected. Here is the list.
- Mar 22 status after 2 days of supervised/controlled access. Check it out here.
- May 18 100% of SMT is cabled up! ~10% needs troubleshooting.
Tasks as of May 2001 :
- Troubleshooting of problematic detectors
- SDAQ
- Stable PDAQ readout of 12 VRB crates
- Characterization of all ladders & wedges
