Not sure due to summer vacations

Dave Lorenz informed us that Dave Heddle is the chair of the math department at CNU and he will not have much time to work on the event viewer.
Andrew will work with him in implementing the 3D features he developed for Hall D into the core event viewer from CNU because Dave was impressed by the Andrews 3D display for Hall D. So Andrew will have to give up on some of his work on JAVA of the viewer and C++ event reconstruction without writing out EVIO files.
Dave may have another student to work on the event viewer.

Hovanes installed PLC and the programming software on the Windows box in the test area in Room 126.
VME/VXS crates have EPICS driver and it works well. This is the driver we will use in Hall D.
Hovanes tried the EPICS support from Canadian Light Source for CAEN x527 HV chassis. The driver only incorporates control of the channels, no board-wide or chassis-wide functionality. Also the code for the existing functionality does not seem to be final, some parameters are hard coded. This EPICS driver is an alternative to what Hall B has been using.
The problem with the PXE booting the new VME controllers has been resolved.
