Tower (red) trouble from "Read All":


  1. do a "Master Reload" from the tower top level or detail GUI (default is "unstaggered" mode). This is easiest approach but takes some time since Master Reload does a reconfiguration of all crates (along with redownload of all LUT's)

  2. if "Master Reload" has (repeated) difficulty for some tower crates, action at the lower level individual screens of affected crates can be employed but then subsequently require the sequential actions: "load", "write", "read", "calc LUT", "write LUT" to accomplish the full reload of the individual crate.

    1. a soft reset of the FPGA may be helpful (popup window from "resets" in individual crate screen)
    2. a hard "reset" reprograms all FPGA's to power up value and hence must be followed by complete reconfiguration and LUT download as per a power cycle (e.g., as in "2" above) - careful, is expert operation

  3. if any tower FEE crates have tripped off, a "Master Reload" (or its equivalent at crate level) is required after resetting the LV power

  4. when in doubt, consult an EEMC expert!
