  • Network setup ( done ) - SBS MPD side might need few cables - need pull network for SBS side (0%)
  • Scaler crate setup (70 % - Steve ) - 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
  • new MPD production - about to start - FPGA shipped to Paolo -
  • MPD VTP readout - on-going in daq lab - still having issue getting APV sending data to MPD - events going through high speed link
  • MPD being setup in Hall A - need setup VTPs to boot (done ) - 10 gigE network plugged (done) - will be able to test in Hall A (done) - 5.2 KHz max trigger rate - 900 MB/s max per VTP - LV installed soon (done )
  • setup portservers : 1 4 port portserver for VTP (done), still need to set up a 8 port one and HCAL portserver
  • need to install remote switch for crate in bunker (done hareboot32) - rest are VXS or VME64 - need put CAEN crate on network
  • Bigbite - HCal trigger setup - need check with Bob if additionnal NIM crate need to be install
  • TS setup - 90 %
  • Beamline crate setup ( in scaler crate ) - FADC is in scaler need to be setup - need pull raster BPM BCM (0% will do it with David and Bob )
  • HCAL cabling ( done )
  • HCAL need power ( done, Berta )
  • Mark hodoscope trigger ( done )
  • Computer move to Hall A : sbsdaq1/2/3 tedbbdaq (done ) enpcamsonne ( done ) - need to install X server - Need ask Ole -
  • LHRS fiber pull ( waiting fiber August 13th ) - most likely LHRS at end of SBS run (done )
  • Cosmics trigger ( done ) -
  • Cosmics HCAL ( ongoing )
  • Cosmics Shower ( on going )
  • Cosmics Hodoscope ( on-going )
  • Cosmics Grinch
  • Test 10 gig link to DAQ to adaq1
  • EPICS script -
  • alarm handler (David)

• Outstanding issues
  • 2 bad FADCs Bigbite - 1 FADC was repaired - one being repaired - 1 Compton FADC - repaired can use as spare ( done )
  • SD delay : still need 2 SDs ( Glasgow and INFN just requested quote ) Hall B lending two - will get once checked
  • need to adjust for HCAL transit time with different PMTs
  • status of cosmics paddles ( installed by Bogdan )
  • GEM fibers too short : Mark will order parts - ( fiber ordered - + 2 extensions ordered )
  • 15 bad MPDs - need to look at fixing - Ben ? Dustin loaning us 6 MPDs - need 85 total - 67 in hand - 1 MPD (301) VME address issue in some slot -
    • APV needed 1208 - 966 in hand working - Michael might lend 40 - ( check with Thir )
  • GEM fiber possibly bad - 2 broken - if long sleeve want to pull spare in separate conduit ( extemsion setup - 50 % )
  • GEM HV IP need setup ( Alex ) Done
  • GEM clock/trigger box for BB side ( got one from UVA )
  • GEM LV remote control ( done )
  • GEM VTP transceivers hanging - ( swapped with SSP - firmware fix will be implemented )
