RUN 2B L1CAL MEETING MINUTES
                   22 April, 2004

Present 
o Fermilab:     D.Edmunds, V. O'Dell, S.Rapisarda, H.Weerts, D.Wood
o MSU:          M.Abolins, C.Brock, P.Laurens
o Nevis:        H.Evans
o Northeastern  E.Barberis



Fermilab: TWG (S.Rapisarda)
-------------

o Software Interface: modifications now complete
  - can use all types of triggers now

o Hardware: no changes to report


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

o Cabling presentation will be given at next L1Cal meeting



Nevis: TAB/GAB (H.Evans, D.Edmunds)
--------------

o TAB/GAB prototype tests (Hal)
  - working on long term TAB-to-GAB data transmission tests
  - (no problems found so far at low rates)

o TAB --> L2/L3 tests at Fermilab (Dan)
  - Dan and Jovan have successfully sent 3 events to an existing
    L1Cal VRB (without requiring an SCL init)
  - Next step is to create a trigger configuration file so that the
    data can be written to tape

o Production Readiness Review for TAB
  - should try to set this up as soon as possible
          

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

o Verifying that all control functions needed in the final system are
  there 
  - this has changed slightly from original spec
  - Questions
    a) How big time difference between frame signals for different
       channels is allowed.
       . Dan will send new spec's to Nevis
    b) ADF does not change output mode on L1 Accept
       . yes
    c) Monitoring of individual channel data
       . ADF can capture raw ADC data and/or Et values sent to TAB
         synchronously for an entire TURN (circular buffer)
       . freeze buffer request synchronous over all 4 crates, can be
         done by: TCC-freeze now, TCC-next L1-Accept, TCC-at next
         Monitoring event, self-trigger
       . can read this out over VME using TCC
    d) TAB/GAB take care of all L2/L3 data
       . yes 
  - most of this is now documented - will be distributed in the next
    few days

o Layout should start on a timescale of ~ a week

    
    
Online Software (P.Laurens)
---------------

o Philippe is concentrating mainly on the ADF work



Simulation (E.Barberis)
----------

o Now have QCD and electron files

o Work also on Cal-Track



Any Other Business
------------------

o Please look over the L1Cal pre-installation responsibility list sent
  out by Hal last week. The deadline for first replies was
  yesterday. Please send these to Hal as soon as possible.
