[Dsg-halla_ecal] ECAL Heater Controls Update

[Marc Mcmullen]

Hi Don,

Just wanted to give you an update on the controls:

Brian has completed the firmware update to the cRIO.

I have checked and updated the thermocouple type for the controls, safety system, crystal temps, and lightguide temps. All of them are set for Type K.

I have added an EPICS PV updater to the code and have worked with Ellen to get the database file uploaded to the IOC. I have checked the PVs using MYA live plot. All the temperatures seem to be updating. I'll be looking into the other PV types to see how they are updating. The main point from this is that the temperature PVs look ok, so this should help with the next heat-up test.

The software has been recompiled (we call it built in LabVIEW) and set on the cRIO as the current, running Real-Time application. It is running as of this afternoon.

I will come to the Hall on Thursday morning and do a quick check of the safety system, and a low temperature check of the channels to ensure everything is ready for the next test.

Regards,
Marc
