- cabling scaler/beamline crate ( David , Bob 50%)
- HRS to TS and timing ( Bob, Maria 50% )
- EPICS / start End of run logging script (Alex, Bob 50%) - need ER for insertion -
- script check MPD sync ( Ben , Andrew ) - is new firmware ready ? check with Ben : code to unpack information already written - need run with those data - timestamp need some work
- RF (Alex, Bob ) - located RF prescaler and signal - need to send to HRS and SBS weldment - need add F1 for RF - can put in FADC avalaible ?
- sync check scripts ( Andrew , Alex )
- EDTM at least 1 Hz for helicity ( Scott, Arun, Mark ? ) Just need to check it is working : look for 10 Hz EDTM - need to put in TDC too
