• Loose end from the Spring 2017 run

Final check of the fadc250 firmware

- Installed on all fadc crates

F1TDC initialization issues (32 ns time shift)

• Topics for summer

Understanding (improving) performance at high rate

- busy distribution (possible crashes at high data rate)

- performance of CAEN TDCs

Emulation of the trigger algorithm

Implementing SSP/GTP readout (Ben)

calibration constants for fadc250 (new firmware)

further optimization of the L1 algorithm for high-lumi runs

TOF trigger

- already implemented (FDC alignment, hi-pt meson production)

- may require some modification (specs)

- test with Play Back

F1TDC firmware modification

- (suppression headers)

L1 trigger simulation
