Timing

Some telegrams will be re-published over DIP (modes, beam type, energy, safe machine parameters)

DIP

A full description and documentation of what is published by the LHC machine for the experiments over DIP can now be found at:

LSA database

Data published by LSA database

Machine will publish:

Run Control

  DIP Timing Status Comment
Beam Mode OK OK Dip pulls from LSA Published as String. Original source LSA
Accelerator Mode OK OK Dip pulls from LSA Published as string. Original source LSA
Fill Number OK OK Dip pulls from Timing Timing updated by LSA
Bunch Configuration     Coming soon  
Handshakes      

Exp values grabbed by Kris and published over CMW..

Machine values pushed from LSA database to DIP

Experiments publish reply to
dip/Atlas/LHC/Handshake (see link left for details)

1. We need three different publications, one for INJECTION, another for DUMP and another for ADJUST.

2. Within each publication the field "name" should contain the PVSS default called "__DIP_DEFAULT__"

3. The handshake property should be written like "Handshake", i.e. capital H.

4. LHCf and LHCb should have capital f and capital b (but this is already solved).

Energy OK OK Generated as SBP, published to timing and then to DIP In units of xxx MeV
INTERLOCK
