Minutes
Attendees: Naomi J., Fernando B., Cody D., David L., Beni Z.
- Firmware status
- 11 crates in hall with firmware that reads data in raw form
- Firmware uploads are now done completely over ethernet+VME (no longer need to pull out module)
- Cody has been helping Beni track down specific issues with individual modules (e.g. missing bits) in FDC
- fast readout in raw mode is first priority
- Cody is also working on procurement of additional f250 modules
- F250 algorithm is first priority though
- Only one CDC crate is currently in the hall
- FDC will be moved into solenoid this week
- CDC will be moved into hall next week
- No testing of CDC will be done before then
- It will be 2 or more weeks before CDC is connected for readout
- Beni will have checked all FDC channels by this evening (not all will be working though, but he'll have a list of ones with issues)
- There was some more discussion on the expected timing resolution of the CDC with the new and old algorithms
- Fernando noted that even the old algorithm is within design specs.
