    Firmware update and algorithm testing

   - TI, FADC250 (PS/PSC, BCAL, ST, TAGM/TAGH)
   - Change jumpers/switches on SD boards (Sergei P.)
   - connect TI trigger front panel output to F1 TDCs
   - Check trigger performance with play back - in progress

       - PS play back
       - new threshold implementation for trigger and scalers on fadc250
       - corrected trigger scalers on TS
       - BCAL/FCAL hardware and algorithm testing

   Trigger algorithm study for the spring run

   FCAL thresholds tuning

           - check rates with MC simulation (MC)
           - MIP response

   Coincidence of FCAL with other sub-detectors

           - require tracks in ST
           - energy correlation with BCAL
           - combined trigger base on BCAL/ST correlations and FCAL thresholds

   FCAL trigger tuning

       decreasing integration window size (time).

           - propagation time for MIPs (MC simulation)
           - cable length, PMT transit time spread 
           - check with acquired data

   Level-1 Monitor
   Discussion on the calibration trigger types
