  • W&M DAQ system update
    • Bryan had come out yesterday to help Arindam check the DAQ. Some modules weren't seated properly, and after reseating them we can now communicate with the modules
    • One of the two FADCs still had an issue; Arindam has brought it back to JLab to be checked.
    • We are now setting up a readout list in the DAQ to use the NIM-based trigger and would plan to use that for the start of detector testing
      • David is not sure if he has enough working discriminator channels right now to be able to instrument the 4 sets of 2-fold coincidences we'd want for the detector testing. He has a single scintillator pair instrumented at the moment.
    • We'd transition to a VTP-based trigger at some point in the future.
    • Sayak is expecting to come down to W&M next week sometime to work on the detector test stand
      • He and David will discuss the triggering configuration
  • Status of the DAQ in the Test Lab
    • They have a problem with the high voltage supply they were using for the PMTs
    • Zhongling and Hanjie have gotten the software transferred from the atedf3 machine to the new server and set up the ROC. They will set up the VTP next week.
    • When they moved the crate from Simona's test lab space, one of the FADCs has gone missing
      • Zhongling and Arindam could try to check with Chris Cuevas about getting another FADC. Hanjie points out that the running experiments are short on FADCs, so we may need to wait until the ones we ordered have come in.
  • Dustin will be shipping more ShowerMax modules in a few weeks, and also the frame and scintillator he'd be using for his test stand in the Test Lab. He is waiting to send the rest of his equipment until the question of us losing the Test Lab space has been resolved.
