Existing Fermilab alarms and limits system works
only with
|
|
|
DC values.
|

There are several hundred important proton source
|
|
|
measurements which vary over small time scales (usec
to
|
|
|
msec).
|
|
|
| • |
At present, the only way to monitor these is either
examining
|
|
|
them by hand or using discrete samples in the alarms
and limits
|
|
|
system.

-> Usually, problems can only be found indirectly
by looking at
|
|
performance. E.g. recently it took about a week to
track down a
|
|
|
low level RF problem which would have been obvious
if we
|
|
|
were looking at the right thing.

People who should be working to improve
Booster
|
|
|
performance spend all their time keeping it running.
