If there is a change in delay through the DBBC then the Log Monitor will now ring an alarm. If the new delay offset is stable then you don’t need to do anything, but if it drifts, a DBBC reset may be required. So it’s still necessary to dump and plot the delay offset data regularly but you will now get an audible warning every time the delay through the DBBC changes.

The new version of the log monitor is the default on ops2 but it will need to be propagated to the ops PC at Mt Pleasant once the current experiment is over. If for some reason the new version crashes, you can still use the old version on ops2 by typing:

/usr2/st/bin/pcfs_log_monitor_2015_06_02.pl
