Description
Reliable operation of LHC injection, tune/aperture and
LBDS kicker systems relies on continuous on-line and
off-line surveillances of their critical operational
characteristics. Different acquisition techniques like
trends logging, shot-by-shot logging or fast transient
recording will be used to acquire and record the diverse
types of signals existing within kicker systems.
Correlation between the acquired data will be done
through a precise time-stamping of the data acquisition
time coupled with an internal management of the
possible acquisition trigger sources.
The structure of the different post-mortem buffers
will be presented for each kicker system with estimation of
their volume and a description of the different acquisition
analysis and recording mechanisms. In addition, the
triggering logic will be described and the remaining
open-issues linked mainly to the distribution of post-mortem
event(s) will be highlighted.
