RUN 2B L1CAL MEETING MINUTES
                   16 December, 2004

Present 
o Fermilab      M.Adams, T.Adams, S.Lammers, S.Rapisarda, A.Stone, 
		N.Varelas, H.Weerts
o MSU           J.Biehl, D.Edmunds
o Nevis         H.Evans
o Saclay        D.Calvet
o York          W.Taylor


Fermilab: TWG (S.Rapisarda/D.Edmunds)
-------------

o TWG shipped to MSU last week

o Set up at MSU went very well - very easy to use !



MSU: ADF v2 (D.Edmunds)
-----------

o Boards back from fabrication - look ok

o Being assembled today
  - will do x-ray and visual inspections after assembly
  - should have boards in hand in a couple of days

o Ready to test as soon as boards arrive
  - Philippe's software is running
  - board control firmware + initial test firmware is ready



Nevis: TAB/GAB (H.Evans)
--------------

o TAB Firmware
  - still working on new synchronization and EM algo firmware
  - ADF pedestals (8 ADC counts per TT) now being subtracted before
    doing divides
    . note: will need to require that ICR TTs are sent to the TAB with
      pedestal=0 
      ==> easy to do at the ADF level

o TAB/GAB assembly
  - 10 TABs & 3 GABs still being assembled

o TAB-->DAQ test
  - tried last week - didn't work because of firmware version problem
  - will try again soon



UIC: Cabling (A.Stone)
------------

o final cable interface document being worked on



Simulation (S.Lammers)
----------

o next simulation meeting on Jan.7



Unpacking (T.Adams/W.Taylor)
---------

o IOGEN objects created for Run IIb L1Cal by Roger Moore
  - can be put in simulation allowing Todd's unpacking to work
  - Wendy will work on getting this incorporated in the simulation


Test System
-----------

o Hardware will be ready in ~2 months, need to get code set up
  - need to look at over-sampled data, data stored in ADF for a full
    term, pulser, calibration, etc.
  - foresee that Rahmi Unalan and Peter Renkel will work on this

o Status of hardware in the Test System
  - TAB/GAB: everything there except TAB/GAB crate
    . this is available at nevis and can be shipped out
  - ADF: VME crate back at MSU - more to be delivered soon
  - Splitter cards: 1 installed, 4 cables laid
    . these will be needed after first hardware integration tests
