*Updates
**HCal
***All ADC and TDC working, all signals seems ok
***adding new FADC for reference channel and supercluster
***F1 TDC with reference time, still need to check to get it to work - hope to finish today
*** will take cosmics
*** pulser setup for coincidence trigger check next
**Bigbite Shower 
***finished mapping checks : turning one column at a time, found a couple cables swapped, fixed, done
***pulser test : pulser at detector end and look in FADC, compared amplitude of FADC with scope to evaluate attenuation
*** issue with summing module
*** one FADC not working
*** one fan in /out module not working
*** debugging 
*** estimate few days to finish debugging
*** after look at calibration code
*** fan/in out module : F428 - two main locations : cabinet outside SBS bunker detector 1 or 2 and 1 cabinet in LHRS - might need
*** starting discussion of coincidence trigger with Bob and Scott
*** cosmics run take - but still need to check plots 
**Bigbite Hodoscope
***TDC extension installed, TDC look good for every channel
***ADC cables look goof
***new LV for NINO received ( goes up to 20 V ) NINO working
***HV working with telnet, Steve fixed EPICS issue
***will set HV as before
***Mark setup trigger for cosmics
***can take data
***SBS offline updated software will be installed
***working on How-to for shift takers
***still hoping to get compress air for housing of PMT to avoid He poisoning
***Mark setup hodoscope trigger
**GRINCH
***all channels connected and look ok with HV
*** debugging a few empty TDC channels
*** ADC repaired one ADC cable : all ADC cable should work
*** run CODA
*** just need to set trigger and gate for cosmics
*** two NINO cards need to be replaced ( at top of GRINCH ) need fall protection set up, might need to use lift
*** found connection for LED and pulser working
*** CODA working
*** old gate should still be set up 
**LHRS
***Fiber to TI connected, need to get new firmware for the TI received this morning.
***will need updated TI library and can give it a try
***running cables from LHRS, BCM  to SBS bunker, will add a new cable tray, see HALOG
***new router installed, HRS DAQ working fine after
***can use with one VXS crate with current firmware / library 
**CDet
***reviewed all pixels on half module, will revised resistors of some of them
***new data with new resistors take and will be analyzed
**GEM BigBite
***all electronics connected working
*** INFN has noise issue being investigated
*** HV on one module
***UVA side everything connected and looks file : took data for 2 days, can see signals but full analysis still on-going
***all cosmics data taken with VTP : 20 M events
***took overnight data without zero supress, last night was taken zero supression 
***could 5.2 KHz with zero supression as long as we don't reach 900 MB/s
**RF time 
**need add TDC
**HV
***Issue with CAEN HV for Hodoscope with EPICS
**Scalers
***need cabling
***need work on readout 
***need one SIS set to 3801 for helicity, rest 3800
***G0 scalers than can be used for detectors - need width at least 10 ns as input 
***FADC for BPM/raster + helicity signal
***can add readout list 
***3820 cannot get it to work so far, will take it out - and work on it in TEDF 
**Recoil polarimeter
**EPICS
**BCM
***plugged signal in analog receiver for upstream - 30 uA - will check signal in counting house 
***DAC input for VtoF
***digital receiver - cable should still be connected as before 

**Helicity
***erverything plugged in LHRS - still need L1A patch to scaler
*** code merged to readout list - can test it
*** last piece of helicity scaler from TEDF to be ported over to LHRS
*** finishing podd module for readout
**start / stop / EPICS script
***working on tedbbdaq for test setup
***will update scripts on adaq  


*On-going tasks
**Network setup ( done ) - SBS MPD side might need few cables - need pull network for SBS side (0%) - should check when bunker is setup
**Scaler crate setup (90 % - Steve - need add readout) - Steve could not talk to CPU (done) - IP fixed with DHCP - need change fan tray - CAEN ( done )
**documentation of VME crate names to power cycle - need to make sure all VXS are in dhcp -Bryan ( done ) https://hallaweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/SBS_Network_Devices_in_Hall_A
**3 rd GEM VXS crate install router moved up ( 100%  )
**need power and network in GEM bunker ( done ) 
**boot VME controllers (100 % done - need ask hostname TS crate )
**TS cables  - all fibers plugged (done) - will post informations -hodoscope / grinch/ shower separate - can be combined at any time now everything plugged to TS
- new firmware for LHRS TI -
**detector cabling ( 100 % - debugging )
