NL Gangphase shift

5 days 15 hours ago
Log Number: 4481096Logbook(s): Entry Makers: jhowardBody: 

Saw the 1A beam spot slide out, and I got a smartRAT file while it was happening: /a/opsuser/jhoward/2026-03-28_23_46_35.

I don't see anything that can identify what caused it, and I agree with what swing shift said, that whatever is causing this is happening too slow for it to be caught. The file came from the second shift.

NL Gangphase Shift

5 days 17 hours ago
Log Number: 4481073Logbook(s): Entry Makers: bschaumlBody: 

Noted the 1A SLM smearing over the course of approximately 5 minutes and ran the rfmldaqSnapshot command as instructed in the linked log. I didn't see any obvious phase related issues. These kinds of effects do seem to be on the order of minutes rather than the seconds that smartRAT reports. Anyhow, the data is in a folder in my home directory: /a/opsuser/bschauml/2026-03-28_22_01_20/ Swinging the gangphase by about -3 degrees rounded up the SLM.
