Stable operation of the detector is essential for high
quality data taking in high energy physics experiments. But it is
not easy to keep the detector always running stably, especially
during data taking period in an environment with high beam-induced
background. In the BESIII experiment, serious beam-related
background can cause instability of the high voltages in the drift
chamber, the innermost sub-detector. This could result in the
decrease of gain and wrong dE/dx measurements. The
relationship between the dE/dx measurement and the
change in high voltage has been studied. To guarantee the data
quality for physics study, an offline event filter algorithm has
been developed to remove the data with abnormal high voltages of the
drift chamber. After applying the event filter on the data set with
serious high voltage problem, the events with wrong
dE/dx measurement are removed effectively.
