connection profiles on ctalab computer (odo)
- Ethernet for internet (eno1) should be connected with "Profile 1" profile
- Ethernet for media converter (enp3s0) should be connected with " TargetC " profile
Hooking everything up to power now
- Found that the 0.5 A level we set was current limiting, specifically to a spike in current at the start
- We have raised the current limit to 1.0 A and now it seems to be working
- With 12 V applied through adapter board to FEE (prior to connection), current holds steady at 0.64 A
Our module is module 3
Trying to take a pedestal run
- 12 V bias only for adapter board (module), no HV
- /working in software base: ~/software/CTA/svn/CCC/TargetIO/trunk/script/SCT_TM/INFN_test_system
  - ./INFN_FEE_QC.py -p -npg -cfg defaults.yaml 3
    - (npg = no pulse generator)
- We found that we had to bump up the current limit to 1.2 A
- Pre-connection:
  - Current goes to 0.65 A and holds steady
- Connection and during pedestal run:
  - Current goes to 1.09 A and holds steady
    - Is this current level expected?
Tried to take a signal run using INFN_FEE_SMART_QC.py, using defaults_smart.yaml
- Got an error "did you forget to enable datataking?"
  - The file is probably empty, given that the pulser was off and the trigger was set to external
  - The pulser check is not done by INFN_FEE_SMART_QC, but the pulser should be on for data taking
  - Checked that the bias was delivered correctly to the SMART board, see pictures
  - For next test, we can either try and turn the pulser on or run a triggerscan on noise (the trigger is set to hardsync and not external, so the pulser should not be needed)
At some point we need to investigate our disk partition issue
- it appears that we only have 30 or so ish GB on our main disk, which is close to full already
- meanwhile we have ~4 TB on the data disk
- May need to shuffle space around a little bit
  - This link may help: https://www.howtogeek.com/114503/how-to-resize-your-ubuntu-partitions
