RUN 2B L1CAL MEETING MINUTES 12 August, 2004 Present o Fermilab S.Lammers, S.Rapisarda o MSU J.Biehl, C.Brock, D.Edmunds o Nevis H.Evans, C.Johnson, J.Parsons Fermilab: TWG (S.Rapisarda) ------------- o still waiting for PO to be released o working on adapter board - deciding whether to send this out or make it ourselves Nevis: TAB/GAB (H.Evans) -------------- o GAB ECL Output Tests - have designed a simple test board to receive ECL output signal from GAB (and/or terms to TFW) . uses same basic design as TFW receiver . will allow hardware tests of entire GAB output chain - fabrication will start soon o Have started process of quoting/ordering Stratix (and other long lead-time) chips for production TABs/GAB - will need to set up a PRR for TAB - probably in September MSU: ADF v2 (D.Edmunds) ----------- o Board control pal - some testing options added to this - documentation being updated o Parts ordering - buy all of cheap stuff + enough of expensive components for ~10 cards - will start beginning of next week o Software work will start again next week (when Philippe is back) o M.Johnson visit to MSU last week - New: work on BLS system during shutdown . would like to fix *all* bad channels while there is access . will need to get Bob Kehoe involved in this again . MSU has a grad student available . + a tech from Fermilab (maybe available long-term) o Crates - new voltage monitoring option: CAENbus - some mod's to power supplies for crates . would like to order this soon - will start the process of ordering the crates . this will be the first test of getting significant project funds from Fermilab o Cabling - big current issue: is it mechanically sound? . plan of making a mockup should answer this o Layout of ADF v2 - putting together analog stuff now - no problems . should finish this in a few days Simulation (S.Lammers) ---------- o Working on getting Sliding Windows Algo's into Trigger Rate Tool - need to cross-check with tsim_l1cal2b
