Description
After an emergency dump a general Post-Mortem request will
be issued to acquire transient data from a variety of
systems. The analysis of a Post-Mortem event may take from
minutes to many months, depending of the desired level of
details. Key data must be however presented in a way which
allows for simple and efficient fault-finding. Operation
crews must be presented with clear information to indicate
of operation may continue or if expert interventions are
required after the emergency beam dump. Key equipment and
instrumentation data required to identify the source and
causes of an emergency abort are described. Various
experiments and measurements will also require the
possibility to make ad-hoc acquisition of some transient
beam and possibly equipment data, in order to diagnose and
solve specific problems and to cope with unforeseen
difficulties. An attempt is made to outline the different
transient data required for general operational purposes,
together with the requirements for triggering and
acquisition which are distinct from the general Post- Mortem
data.
