The Cryo Control Panel (CCP) is a set of LabVIEW program (VIs) that monitors and controls various devices used in the target system. CCP is running on the target computer in the control room.
| CCP Main Panel |
| "CCP_Main.vi" is the Main panel of CCP. It is to start/stop all subsystems under CCP and overview the key readings from them. |
| CCP Sub Panels |
| Each subsystem (~controllor) has its own panel (=CCP sub panel) for detailed monitoring and control. A sub panel can be opened by clicking the "Open" button of corresponding controller on the Main panel. |
| Spill Counter |
| The Spill Counter is not a part of CCP but an important program which counts the spill signals from the accelerator and assign spill |
ID. It should be launched at the top right corner of the target computer display. |
Handling of Problems/Alarms
...
- The "Status" of a sub panel is "Black" on the CCP Main Panel, i.e. the sub panel is not running:
- Click the "Start All Subsys" button on the CCP Main Panel.
- If the "Status" doesn't become Green, try step 1 again. If it doesn't help, call the target expert.
- The "Status" of a sub panel is "Red" on the CCP Main Panel, i.e. the sub panel has an error:
- Click the "Open" button on the CCP Main Panel. A sub panel should pop up.
- Click the "Stop" button on the sub panel.
- Click the "Start All Subsys" button on the Main (not Sub) Panel.
- If the "Status" doesn't become Green, try steps 2-3 again. If it doesn't help, call the target expert.
How to Restart Sub Panel
...
- Click the "Stop" button of the sub panel.
- If it doesn't stop, you might have to terminate the LabVIEW process via the Windows Task Manager.
- Click "Start All Subsys" (
) on "CCP_Main.vi".- You should not click the "Run" button of the sub panel, because the sub panel will (sometimes) stop once its window is closed.
How to Stop CCP
- Click "Stop All Subsys" (
) on "CCP_Main.vi". - Click "Stop This Panel" (
)on "CCP_Main.vi". - Click "Stop" (
) on "Spill_Counter_Main.vi" and close its window, if it is running. - Close all LabVIEW windows, whose window titles are "*.vi".
- Close the LabVIEW banner window, which pops up once all "*.vi" windows are closed.
...
- Open the Windows Task Manager (by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del).
- Right-click "LabVIEW 19.0.1f3 Development System".
- Select "End task".
How to Stop Target Computer
- Select "Restart" (or "Shutdown") from the Start Menu.
How to Start Target Computer
- Boot up the Target Computer.
- Click the "SX Virtual Link" icon (
) in the taskbar. It opens the window of SX Virtual Link and auto-connects USB devices. - Click the desktop icon "Spill_Counter_Main.vi" (
). It starts LabVIEW and opens the window of "Spill_Counter_Main.vi". - Click the "Run" button (
) of "Spill_Counter_Main.vi".
How to Start CCP
- Click the desktop icon "CCP_Main.vi" (
). It opens the window of "CCP_Main.vi". - Click the "Run" button () of "CCP_Main.vi".
- Click "Start All Subsys" () on "CCP_Main.vi".
- Enable software controls as needed. All software controls are disabled when the CCP is opened. Software controls are usually enabled in the following subsystems marked with "Auto":
- MagRetBypass_Main.vi
- Fridge_Valve_Main.vi GV_Bypass_Main.vi
