1. BONUS preparations:

• new MM readout firmware and new rol1/rol2 versions were installed by Irakli and tested along with SVT using cosmic data; Yuri Gotra was running day and monitoring data quality; new firmware/software seems works as expected; will do beam test, and then do change permanent

• Chris Cuevas email: "I have no new news on the BoNUS12 "Adapter" boards and time is becoming worrisome. The flex board vendor has had trouble manufacturing these boards, but the assembly is not difficult so once the new batch of bare flex boards arrive at the vendor, the assembly can be expedited"

2. Upcoming run:

• helicity flip rate will be 120Hz, 90us t-settle (dead time during flip); hardware correction board needed, or improved correction procedure; since time is short, software solution have to be pushed; Sergey will work on that
