List of the modules

Hovanes compiled a preliminary list of modules of the modules that need to be interfaced with EPICS for HPS purposes. One of the issues why this is needed is to know which applications may require extra effort when moving the VME controllers to VxWorks 5.5. 

• Krister needs to look at the list and check it if the information is correct
• Sho suggested adding the readback of the SVT interlock input and output signals 
• Nerses commented that the only existing applications/modules that have not been tested with new EPICS and VxWorks 5.5 are Joerger scalers, IP485 boards with their carrier boards and Hall probes.
• All beamline applications will be powered by CAEN SY1527 chassis 
• People will look at it and try to remember if anything that is needed by HPS is missing from the list. 

SVT Bias/LV discussions

We decided to postpone the discussion untill the next meeting when Sho and Pele will have a few slides explaining how the system should work.
