• Updates
  • HCAL
    • starting setting up overlapping clusters - will take cosmics next week to test
    • Juan Carlos working on the library for the DAC
    • Bryan updated FADC configuration libration ( issue setting up window correctly )
    • studies amplifier saturation : saturates before the FADC

linear up to 3 V ( seems FADC at 2V is ok with attenuation )

• • • Bryan almost done with DVCS LED pulser - need VME address - Alex will send picture - Board is in slot 15
    • HV Lecroy : need implement HV scripts to record the HV
  • BB Shower
    • setting up trigger monitor - list of what is needed
      • NIM crate + 4x NIM ECL connector ( already there ) - 52 BNC cables from ESB

F1 TDC installed -

• • • Power supply for threshold : still need to load firmware
    • FADCs : 4 from Brads will need to go to RP - 6 FADC on order - 2 from UMass -
  • BB Hodoscope
    • TDC noise issue making progress, issue resolved
    • Blown fuse on LV not know why, replaced ADC signal back
    • 5 v792 channels shift by 50 ADC values - issue with v792 looking for spare
    • try implement Will display for hodoscope using tree - documentation ( ask Provokar )
    • making ADC vs ToT plots
    • Steve Wood working on getting
  • BB GRINCH
    • noise problem in repeater rack fixed
    • raised threshold from 1.3 to 1.4 V , all noise gone
    • working on GRINCH decoder and porting analysis software in SBS-online and in Podd - VETROC module being written
  • GEM INFN
    • will have check connection and change config files to remove
  • GEM UVA
    • HV scan being taken , CODA working ok
  • GEM TEDF
    • MPDs installed in crate for INFN , APV working , working on connection using MPDLibTest and i2ctest

• • CDet
    • All Nino installed, will start taking cosmics data soon

• HV
  • CAEN : managed through hodoscope , CAEN modules for GEN RP
  • MPOD : managed through EPICs, need to check if will use CAEN NIM module ( MPOD should be sufficient )
  • CAEN VME module for GEM - need EPICS or something for experiment ? Brad will help with ( need VME module and code used to use module )

• SSP zero suppression status : not used right now because testing, need to check with run with and without.

Scripts to generate Only UVA does not have current reference, could add additionnal noise - will need to check TEDF boards - jumpers for reference current might not be correct -

• VTP
  • Need 3 VTPs for all the GEM ( each VTP can handle 80 modules )
  • 2 VXS - will setup next week so ready for VTP testing
