Agenda/Notes:

1.  ePixMePixM:
   1. Beamtime prep, Status off:
      1. Getting the detector running in DAQ;
         1. awaiting for Ric Claus and CPO.  Maybe working in a day or two?
         2. Install another detector in MFX today.  (today at 11am)
         3. Bug Chris Ford to make the final connection to the server.  (fiber pull done.  Light check by Chris today)Done.   Data recorded.
      2. Getting the fibers installed at MFX and to server;
         1. Done. 
         2. Make drawings.  Today at 11am.
      3. Physical setup to secure the camera;
         1. Chris Koerber has a solution.  Thick sensor camera installed in spent beam area today Today at 11am.  
      4. Checking we have the multitosingle mode converter box;
         1. Install at MFX today at 11am.  Take the one from ASC.Yes, we have it.
      5. Cables and supplies to run the camera and what bias we need to apply
         1. Have all the fibers
         2. Need longer power cable with SHV HV connection (banana plugs could suffice if need be).  Cable from Lupe middle of next week?
         3. We have all cables and power supplies.
         4. Bias = -50V.  Keep an eye on current draw.  (Installation today)Waiting from Chris Kenney to tell us bias voltage.  
      6. Light shield to block visible light;
         1. Exists.  Use black kapton tape to tape Taped over the sensor.  Don't dismount bracket from thick sensor (risks damaging think sensor when attaching).   yellow kapton.  Test with flashlight today.  
      7. Evaluate the data coming out of the detector;
         1. Data recorded.  No evcode283 yet, but waiting for beam.  Matt Weaver is also checking to make sure it's in the datastream.  
         2. Many hot pixels/columns.  Once final connections are made.  Take dark data as soon as daq integration is done. (Bug Ric Claus)
      8. Testing the data analysis scripts and visualisations;
         1. In progress.  Can be made for one module...need to scale up to all modules.  (Philip, Zongde, Bhavna, Xavier)
         2. Negative signal, pedestals ~>20000ADU
         3. 15bits data, 1 bit gain
         4. asic[0] and asic[3] are not bonded.  Only look at asic[1] and [2].  (data is epixm[4][192][384])
         5. ami2 - filter in evcode 283.  
      9. Testing the timing scan and trigger rate setting script;
         1. Alex will work with Matt and Ric Claus.  
         2. Timing scan tested....try again in mfx.  
         3. Intensity scan should be ready (same as before).Pedestal: Standard auto-gain, soft-hi, soft-lo.  
      10. Setting up the pre-setup meeting (include TID);
          1. Waiting for Sebastien for the pre-setup mtg.  Forward to TIDDone.
      11. Get the measurement list together;
          1. Zongde

          2. View file
             name Beamtime ePixM Measurements Plan Apr 2024.xlsx height 250

             Get full list assuming everything works, and prioritize from there depending on how the measurements go.  
      12. Schedule the staffing;Decide during next Thursday's mtg.  
      13. Ensure we have the needed support;
      15. Matt Weaver or Ric Claus or CPO
      AMI-2
2. A.O.B.
   1. HV test at TID needs to be done to see what bias we want to run at.
