Introduction

NP04beamRunSum examines data from the Detector Control System Database (DCS-DB, formerly known as Slow Controls Archive) in search for periods of unstable high voltage. The time-indexed values from a voltage and a current sensor are considered to derive the time-dependent resistance. Hard cuts are applied to this resistance to derive 'streamers' (periods of unstable HV) as the final result. Everything is summarized in on large plot.

Setup

If not already existing, create a virtual environment

$ python -m venv venv/

Activate it

$ . venv/bin/activate

Install requirements

$ pip install requirements.txt

Usage

Make plot of sensor output and averages

$ python src/make_heinz_plot.py

Make summary plot and derive periods of unstable HV ('streamers')

$ python src/make_summary_plot.py
