== Meeting information ==
  '''Meeting time:'''  1:00pm Eastern
  
  Zoom connection information is sent out by email; please reach out to Paul if you don't have the current link.

== Agenda ==
*  Activity updates
** Zhongling will report on [https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4311500 V2495 FPGA update]
** Bryan will report on [https://userweb.jlab.org/~moffit/meetings/DAQ/forWilliam/2024-Jun-28-MOLLER_Integrating_DAQ.pdf MOLLERADC Trigger Sync]
*  General discussion

=== Open Issues to be followed up later ===
# Discussions with M. Pitt & J. Musson to understand the beam monitor signals we'll be getting
# Draft timing diagram: [https://moller.jlab.org/cgi-bin/DocDB/public/ShowDocument?docid=790 DocDB 790]
# Michael, Bob, Brynne, and Paul should put together a list of the integrator running modes we would like to have available

*  I have made edits in the specification document, and I think that it is basically complete from my perspective.
**  Michael doesn't think he needs to add anything else to it
*  Bryan & William
**  He has the two two MOLLER-ADCs connected to a VME-TI
**  He's monitoring the VME-TI trigger out, and William has a modified the ADC firmware to send the trigger signal out to the back panel output
**  They can walk the trigger as seen by the ADC by up to ~1 us, and they see the trigger time move appropriately
**  There are several firmware updates in the TI module
**  They can read out the TI trigger bank
**  He has a zmq port for the TI registers
**  There are still a few issues that Bryan and William that are still tracking down, that are inconsistencies in the firmware response.
**  These tests show the hardware is working and the signals are getting where they need to on the board
*  Daryl thinks that with Bryan and William's recent work he'd be comfortable to make the final layout updates, and then we'd be ready to send out the production order
**  Daryl will make the updates within the next few weeks; Michael guesses that the production order would then go out around the end of July
*  Michael asks if one of the two ADC modules could be taken up to W&M in the early fall to be used for the detector tests
**  Bryan thinks that the remainder of the synchronization tests could be finished in a month or two
***  After that point, most of the development would be to build up experience with the board to get ready for larger-scale testing
**  Maybe it is better to get a third ADC for use at W&M.  TRIUMF has two and will send one of them to Michael; they'll use it for tests at Manitoba for the rest of the summer and then bring it to W&M in the fall.
*  Digital BCM readout through a V2495
**  They have verified that the V2495 can decode the serial data from the digital receivers
**  They have set up an internal test where the V2495 sends a 32-bit-wide parallel data stream over a parallel cable to the decoder module.
***  This is fast enough data transfer to allow us to resolve the 10us spin flip
**  Testing of doing integration using an external gate
***  Sending two bursts of Manchester data with different time spacings.
****  With the serial transmission, the two bursts merge and the initial data burst is lost.  (Note that 28 bits should take ~28us to be transmitted with the current transceiver speed on the digital receiver).
****  Either getting a higher data rate transceiver or parallel data transfer from the digital receiver would be possible to get to the 10us spin flip resolution
**  Bob had talked with Chad Seaton, and the instrumentation group thinks that a faster transceiver would be possible
*  We will not have the counting DAQ meeting on 5 July; the next DAQ meeting will be the integration DAQ meeting on 12 July
