  • Front end boards
    • Noise tests show improved performance compared to previous versions. Noise level around 55ADC.Sho or Omar will send around first results.
    • Next week Omar/Sho/Pelle will setup and start doing multiple tests to stress the board.
    • Second board is finished loading today.
    • We have started loading the there 8 boards. Will be ready end of next week most likely.
    • We have decided to order 5 more for spares today.
  • Mezzanine cards
    • LV power board ordered, should be here By Wed next week. Needs connector loading ~1-2 days. 
    • HV power board done and in hand. 
    • FEB  card ordered, should be here By Wed next week. Needs connector loading ~1-2 days. 
    • Hybrid card ordered, should be here By Wed next week. Needs connector loading ~1-2 days. 
    • Tung is still working on the cross-over board layout
  • RTM status
    • Ryan discovered another problem with the new revision. Tung has got the fix on the top of his list and should be done by Mon. Have to get a 3 day turn on it. 
    • We can use the devboard to commission up to two front-end boards with the RCE platform. Most likely this will not hold us up but we'll keep an eye on it. 
  • External cabling
    • Power draw of new FEB verified: redoing all cables and breakout boxes (not clear when ready)
    • 3rd and last HV long cable is being produced now (done early next week).  
  • EPICS
    • Hovanes helped getting EPICS talking to MPOD supply. It looks like we can communicate with it and switch on/off. 
    • Next week should verify channel mapping to be able to sign off and use the GUIs. 
  • Group C DAQ setup
    • Talked to Philippe and we will setup the DAQ testing in the opposite corner of the lab. We will keep all crates where they are but move flanges over there.
    • At some point next week we should decide what to attach FEB to while testing. To start we can cool with fan but a spare/dummy FEB cooling plate would be good to have. 
  • RCE platform
    • Ben and Ryan will work on the remaining firmware and software to be able to talk to the FEB using the RCE platform.
    • Work to allow us to read and extract SVT configuration from CODA has been partially completed. We need a FEB attached to complete this and test it. 
    • Working on tools to create the needed configuration input from calibrations and the interplay with the conditions database. Omar was gonna talk about this on Tuesdays SVT meeting.
  • No labels
