Important Input

To work out the online task list I need input as to when detector groups will be needing controls and DAQ capabilities for construction, pre-installation testing, post-installation testing, and final checkout.

Below is a partial list based on guesses. Number of man-weeks needed for a task depend strongly on level of experience of person doing the work. Estimates below assume some experience, but not a great deal.
