    • adjusted baseline on APV : raised it and seems to improve the issue of sagging and common mode subtraction issue
    • Slot 17 vtp5 drops from time to time : will replace payload and transceiver -
    • slot 20 vtp 4 : might be APV - out but might try to get back

    • set VTP to retry to boot if first boot fails ask to Ben or Bryan
  • HCal
