FADC purchase order is on the way out of Ohio
Simona has the bitstream file back from Ben, they have tested the VTP, and found a small mistake in the firmware which Ben is in the process of resolving.
- She expects to have that back from him today, and would be able to test it by Monday
- Next would be the pion detector prototype stand work.
- She expects to have data using a coincidence trigger in the VTP by Tuesday
Sayak presents a summary of the cosmic setup at UMass
- Using two scintillators at the top and bottom right now, in two configurations to
- Proposed setup for W&M: four scintillators (2 at top and 2 at the bottom) per segment.
- I would propose that we plan to use a VTP trigger to form the four sets of coincidences.
- They have the FADC back from JLab, and are getting the DAQ set up to use it
Simona asks about the using the MOLLER log book (at https://logbooks.jlab.org/book/moller). That is supposed to be for the experiment, and "molpol" is for the polarimeters
Hanjie reports that the test stand at JLab is waiting on the data disk purchase for the server
Paul expects to make more progress on the VXS crate shipment
No update from SBU this week
Chandan is talking with Ben to get a VTP set up in the GEM test stand
Dustin reports that he will be getting a few of the new bases from Michael, and will be radiating the counting mode amplifier on May 9. This is the last radiation test for the bases.
