November 28, 2007 online meeting minutes
present: Sergey Boyarinov, Sergey Pozdnyakov, Hovanes, Nerses, Blutman, Stepan Stepanyan
1. BONUS RTPC DAQ
Fiber optic controller instead of USB one; PCI format receiving card; need to buy 3 electronics from TPC group and ALICE DAQ group; PCI card will come with Linux driver; we need to provide optical signals (trigger etc) and probably slow controll the system over Ethernet;
we have one more USB option now: David Abbot is testing new intel-based VME controller with USB port; if FC is not available, we can try to use old USB readout, but firmware must be fixed, it is in progress at CERN (U2F)
TI card in PCI format is under development in Fast Electronics group, Sergey will ask status occationally
need PCI hardware to know how fast we can run, cannot say in advance; we'll buy minimum set necessary to measure readout speed, Stefen will handle purchased, we may talk to CERN people about software
2. g9a status
- Moller problem was fixed, MCC fixed their signals
- RF signal was not good,
3. Projects
- clonmon, root_servcer
- new clon10
- CLAS12 trigger
- inventory DB
