Recording on Zoom:
Participants: S. Malace, P. King, A. Sen, B. Blaikie, C. Ghosh, D. Armstrong, D. McNulty, Jaydeep, K. Dehmelt, R. Michaels, S. Chatterjee
- Simona: working on the trigger for the pion detector tests. So far, the data has been taken with the NIM BIN trigger
- Looking at SPE response and the PMT gain using the NIM BIN trigger.
- Will send the VHDL code for the VTP trigger to Ben later today, and would hope to start testing with it next week. Would replicate the results as taken with the NIM trigger
- Simona is using a CAEN N978 amplifier to do the SPE study. She'll take some data without the amplifier soon to check the gain curve without it
- Paul is going to try to get the VXS crates sent to JLab next week. Plan to have two in the test lab space, to support both integration DAQ testing and counting DAQ testing, and keep the third available to take up to W&M.
- Arindam and Bob had started to gather tools for the test lab space, and set up the server and the network switch
- Sayak reports that the tentative plan for the trigger for the W&M tests would use two scintillators for each segment (at the top and bottom of the array), with each paddle having two PMTs. They're still thinking about how we'd want to set up the trigger, but think it would be the OR of the two PMTs for each paddle and then the AND between the top and bottom paddles
- Jaydeep has asked Bill Li to reach out to the person at JLab who had asked them to return the MPD. So far he hasn't heard back, and for now they are keeping the MPD.
- Sayak asks Dustin about the plan to do a test fit of the patch panel on the frame at UMass. Dustin is planning to send a full scale patch panel to them as soon as it is ready
- We're going to switch to use CAEN V976 NIM logic fanout modules for the clock/trigger distribution in the MPD crates, instead of using the older stand-alone fanout modules. This is based on a discussion with Ben. This adds two VME cards to each of the MPD crates, and there is space available in those crates.
