Attending: Norm, Chuck, Heidi, Jon, hajime
Heidi: what are these variables?
Norm: not slow controls, from FICL at run-time, list on wiki.
Without webviewer to explore these variables in DB, can't tell how to use them.
Jon: web viewer not that useful. Doesn't tell what they ARE.
Norm: probably should improve wiki.
Heidi: want type in run#, spits out values of parameters.
Norm: will put up some instructions.
J: slow controls indexed by time, not by run#.
H: putting run-dependent info in every single file in SAM, not the best way to do it. Also google spreadsheets
Not sure that elog is 100% reliable. Flushed? Can't see enough. Not sure how to scrape.
J: there are web interface, no one has requested beyond that.
H: from D0 RDB, so end users could select runs. Quality and stuff like that. Need to know for analysis.
N: data quality from HV, etc?
H: multiple quality multiple quality measures (DAQ, analysis, later stuff).
N: n-bits?
H: users don't want bit maps, just want "good/not"
J: Nova, runs data base: run history, what was config, separate table for quality from quality group. SAM queries these tables.
N: prefer separate DB for offline-derived quantities
H: can add links to condb? ifbeam? etc.
N: will see about this. Wiki pointers, examples. Like different table for offline stuff.
N: merging info from different DBs, like time-keyed vs. run-keyed.
H: mapping time vs run a long-term project. Don't fret it. Get on the list.
N: getting google docs into new columns of RDB...?
N: know enough about voltages to finish task of integrating into run history. Other slow controls not there yet.
J: Nova calibrations: have range of run#s with calibration.
H: huge step forward to use these variables.
N: will try. Have roadmap. Need people?
N: plan going forward, SP and DP: info only contained in CERN-side DB, only through elisa(?)
Plan: document, add google sheet data into DB, example command-line access
tidy up and finish up slow controls
Next topic: interest in HW and inventory DB is growing. Several options, shouldn't have 3 parallel approaches. What to do?
N: separate meeting, ask about resources and support. W/principals of other efforts.
N: must start getting ready for DUNE efforts.
H: HW DB is part of project funding. If no one has project funding for this, it won't happen.
H: phone conf next week of US PI's to go to DOE ask for money 11AM Thurs MST Marvin email
H: Proj Mgt and tracking DB should be part of project budgets.
