- Beni and Bill measured the max temperature on one of the card at the voltage regulator: no more than 43degC with the cooling system running. Beni: when turning the cooling system on, the temperature on the voltage regulator changes very fast indicating good thermal contact to the cooling tube.

- Bill once more on the SMC power: the chiller produces 2kW from the pump + 2kW from the compressor + max 2kW removed heat. Eugene: using 4kW to remove 2kW is something standard for such cooling system.

- Beni for the firmware/software for fADC125: working progress. If it's not ready by the end of next week we will read out only the old modules.

- Beni can now read the new fADC125 modules; demonstrated it by reading three such modules. The basic firmware/software made by Cody and Bryan allows to read the row data from the modules.
  
 
- The truck was not available this week, so we will move the package next week. As discussed above, we will use water for cooling.
