- 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 cablingCabling
- 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.
