Hi Paul,

     The data that we sent to tape yesterday was simulated(fake) data
      generated at VRB using an excel spreadsheet program that we
      have. We couldn't do the ADF-TAB-TAPE test yesterday because I
      had some problem in my private version of TAB firmware but it's
      trivial now to do this test. Infact we are going to do
      ADF-TAB-TAPE test today.  Since the Unpacker that Todd have
      unpacks only the TAB data(he sent out a mail regarding this a
      couple of days ago) so we can't unpack the fake data generated
      at VRB.

Regards,
Nayeem

 Hi,

     Today we successfully wrote the data to tape. We took couple of
 runs for simulated data and verified that it is sent to tape. The
 following runs are written to tape: 206685 and 206688.  

 The raw data file at tape is data_test_0000206688.raw. This raw data
 file is also available on /scratch disk of d0ol55 and hexdump of this
 raw data with name data_daq.txt

 As a next step we will send the TAB and ADF data to tape for
 unpacking purposes.  I believe we managed to complete this task
 within stipulated time.
 
 Cheers,
 Nayeem
