• Modifications of config files

- parameters for CAEN R-C adjustment

- parameters for fa125 initialization

- implementation of SYNC events (in progress)

- configuration of TRD, concurrent running with ST (in progress)

• Other

- new TS firmware (check in progress)

- BCAL LED trigger distribution through TS

- TPOL stand alone self-trigger with CTP

• L1 trigger commissioning plans for the fall 2015 spring 2016 run

• PS trigger (TAGM bias voltage calibration, TAGH, PS voltage scans, efficiency studies). Run TRD in parallel, if no problems.

- test/debug trigger (2 - 3 hours).

- production (1 - 2 night shifts)

run conditions depend on the accelerator performance (200 nA electron current, 10^-4 radiator, 10^-3 converter + Be converter, TBD)

• Trigger for FDC alignment (ST/TOF + FCAL)
• Trigger for FCAL MIPs calibration (ST & TOF)

- test/debug trigger (3 - 4 hours, CDC/FDC switched off)

- production at low luminosity with the FDC switched on (1 - 2 night shifts for both the FDC alignmnent and FCAL MIP triggers)

• Debug FCAL/BCAL trigger

- trigger studies (3 - 4 hours)

- take data with the BCAL/FCAL trigger, FCAL/BCAL thresholds will be tuned, chambers can be switched on depending on run conditions (1 - 2 night shifts).

- test trigger performance at high rate. Take data with 'nominal' trigger thresholds.

• Trigger generated by TAGM/TAGH

- trigger studies (3 - 4 hours)

- combine TAGH/TAGM with other trigger types.

- take data with the total absorption counter, 2x10-5 radiator, a few nA current (TBD) (2 - 3 hours)

• Special trigger requests from sub-detectors
