Commissioning of Fast TracKer Online Monitoring during Run II — •Anjali Krishnan and Andre Schoning — Physikalisches Institut, University of Heidelberg

The Fast TracKer (FTK) is a hardware-based system in the ATLAS experiment designed for fast and efficient track finding. To understand the data flow and check the quality of the data taken, it is highly helpful to perform online monitoring of the system. Several levels of online monitoring have been designed for the FTK, in order to achieve such goal. The low-level monitoring analyses the independent board dataflow, while the high-level monitoring considers the whole system's performance. The high-level monitoring performs a constant monitoring of the data quality of the output provided by FTK, that is, by scrutinizing the different track parameters in each geometrical slices and providing histograms of relevant observables.

This talk focuses on the low-level monitoring implemented for one particular board in FTK, the way all the information is published and the results of data quality studies done for FTK output data in the 2018 data-taking.
