Progress since last meeting:
- 12 VTP boards installed in Hall (Ben, Sergey): 10 in DC and 2 in FTOF sectors 5 and 6. Five more VTPs needs repair - in progress. Cabling under way, should be mostly ready in few days, but new fiber trunk installation may take 2 weeks - not enough ports on SF (Chris, Mark, Armen). All VTP installation may take couple of weeks because of needed repairs.
- HTCC from GEMC is included into trigger validation (Rafo, Sergey), we have now PCAL, ECAL and HTCC, FT (Andrea) and FTOF(Sergey) are in progress.
- Andrea sent first version of FTOF-PCAL geometry table, PCAL-ECAL to go
Ben's presentation on trigger stage2/3
stage 2 timing diagram and FT/HODO
to do
- monitoring screens - epics_server-URGENT
- GUI - Valery will provide layout
- evio banks decoding - Gagik, Andrey Kim
- beam commissioning plan - Valery
- next week turn everything installed on
- HTCC trigger will be modified: 36bit mask -> 48bit mask
