Production
- The PR for the clean room was submitted at the end of last week. The specifications and estimate are linked above. The estimate is for $250K for the clean room, including the electrical installations, excluding the AC. According to the schedule, the installation must be completed and the room commissioned on Sep. 13 this year. The CC will take care of the network, including wireless. We will buy a color laser printer/copier/scanner for ~$700, i.e. low quality.
- We discussed the place to start setting up the wire stringing before going off-site. The two options: F117 and 126 in the EEL building. Fernando is concerned there will be no space in F117, wire stringing will take 2/3 of the space there. He will prepare a floor plan for F117 for the PCB testing. Casey and others emptied a table in F117. Mark had an idea to use two such tables and the thick aluminum plate (used now for vacuuming) for the wire stringing. F117 is cleaner than 126, but we discussed if we need a clean space, since we just want to try the stringing procedure, not to make real chambers. We want to build a new design one layer prototype, but this probably can't be done in F117. Lubomir was concerned that if there's a delay moving off-site we will have to build the prototype again in 126. We will discuss this on the next meeting also when Bill is back.
Electronics
- fADC125: Gerard is working with Bryan Moffit and wants to repeat the rate test that Bryan did with his code. Fernando suggested not to discuss this at this meeting. High signal cutoff problem:
