• Michael doesn't have an update on the ADC production.
  • Michael asks what the last firmware update that Bryan and William had gotten form Bryerton: Bryan thinks is was in June.
    • Bryerton had sent an updated version to Michael in September as a tarball (dated in August) that was specific to the rev.2 board
    • Michael will send the tarball to Bryan. Bryan will check the commit logs also
• Bryan had to revert to petalinux for a while, but now has switched back to CentOS and is cleaning up the CentOS environment
  • He is also trying to make it packaged more cleanly to make it wasier to do the updates.
  • Bryan is also debugging the trigger and readout acknowledge responses from the ADC TI that are not getting decoded
• Dustin asks what is the plan for the integration DAQ at W&M
  • Brynne says the plan would be using the current streaming mode to do quick testing of the detectors
  • We also want the full
• Bryerton has been in contact with Michael, and Michael has plans to work with him on some small fixes
  • Michael says that Bryerton had implemented the summing routines (for rev 2), but had some questions about the timing of the TI signal.
  • The rev1 integration code is turned off but could be enabled
  • Bryerton will be available in a week, and Michael will talk with him about enabling the summing code for the rev1 boards
  • Michael also says that the fiber Ethernet port should be available in the newest firmware
• Discussion of the fiber networking
  • The ADC will have a QSFP to SFP+ LC-type connector, and we'd just need a SFP+ network switch.
  • The fiber internet is still a 1Gbps link. It could be changed but we'd need the 10Gig firmware module, and someone to include that in our firmware
• Discussion of the floating grounds on the ADC
  • The ADC ground is referenced to the input ground
  • The copper Ethernet connection are also isolated, although the fiber connections would be more isolated
• Brynne asks if there is a chassis available to be used at the W&M set-up
  • Michael has one that he will send down
• Paul will follow up by email with Brynne and Sayak early next week about the configuration of the server and how to add the integrating ADC to the DHCP list
