• hardware

• cabling

• software: FTOF trigger C++ and firmware just finished, will be tested; CTOF and CND cosmic trigger will be added to FTOF project; two GEMC files were preliminary processed through trigger C++ implementation with ECAL, PCAL, HTCC and FTOF turned on, file

/work/boiarino/data/TCS_1_AllTrig_Detectors.evio_out.0
/work/boiarino/data/TCS_2_AllTrig_Detectors.evio_out.0

contains trigger banks (39 events) and should be used to develop and check trigger banks conversion from evil to hip format, and for monitoring tools check

2. DAQ preparations

• TDC calibration: "noise" generator installed and connected to discriminators's test inputs in tdcftof2 crate, first run data taken, will be analyzed (andrey Kim); tdc1290 library was updated, it has all necessary functions to upload/download/control compensation table and tic chip internal delay adjustments

• scalers: 2 struck scalers installed in trig2 crate along with optic-nom converter; helicity optical signals from MCC were fined-out in counting room and sent to two locations in the hall: SF level1 north and pie tower; all electronics will be checked, and scalers readout will be added to day
