Changes in online • Local Tracker DQM processes running on vmepcs2b18-25 (Pixel and Strips) for: • Backup • Development • Interactive xdaq process / Expert GUI / TrackerMaps • Would be good to have a backup VME machine for extended running (4MB RAM) • Last week: installed our own storage manager proxy expected no more time-outs of the DQM process; much more autonomy regarding process parameters (e.g. event rate into Pixel DQM) Pixel DQM
Monitoring during timing scans • Danek estimated 25 runs at 10-20 minutes of minimum bias running each • Will explore if local Pixel DQM process can be used for high rate monitoring during timing scans for quick online feedback • Will run stripped down light version, only looking at digi and cluster occupancy and cluster size, no tracking or error monitoring. • Will increase input event rate as much as possible; needs some negotiations with central DQM due to network limitations Pixel DQM
Other online DQM developments • Errors monitored by FED# and channel# now, instead of by module • FED TrackerMaps will be implemented soon • Static TrackerMaps implemented and displayed in GUI • Monitoring of Pixel clusters in the HLT in progress • Basic usage of DCS info implemented, now waiting for real values to be available offline; will have to fine tune combination with DAQ and DQM info for good run flags Pixel DQM
New: static TrackerMaps e.g. digi occupancy Pixel DQM
Changes in offline • Working on making QTest configuration based in DB (currently read from xml files inside the CMSSW release) will provide more flexibility toward changing data or detector conditions; much faster turn around • Machinery set up to tune QTest parameters to collision data; need to run it on min bias or RelVal samples to tune the cuts; will take geometry into account to some level (higher occupancy near IP, etc.) • Coarse hit efficiency monitoring under development (implementation of a rough version of the existing prompt analysis) Pixel DQM
Summary • Valuable lessons learned from CRAFT09 • Code development ongoing; there are still new features to be implemented • Trying to be prepared for collisions • New experts are being trained for on-call duty Pixel DQM
