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

o Complete Bench Testing of production TABs complete
  - all inputs/outputs tested
    . except Cal-Track SLDBs (previously tested at Fermilab)
  - have procured a (Lambda) bench power supply that supplies enough
    current on 48V to run all TABs and GAB in the crate at one time
    . ran this system overnight with no data errors detected

o GAB Bench Testing essentially done. Still need to verify
  - L2/L3 output at Fermilab
    . GAB exhibits more jitter than TAB
    . solutions to this problem available if necessary
  - output to TFW
    . have verified that ECL signals look ok

o Now testing new version of TAB firmware
  - includes new ADF-to-TAB data synchrnoization scheme and new EM
    algorithm

o 2nd TAB/GAB crate now assembled
  - will be shipped to Fermilab (along with a GAB and a 2nd TAB) in
    the next few days
  - are there sufficient cables at the lab?


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

o ADF v2 Testing Continues (6 of 10 cards in test)
  - running multiple cards at once, SCLD timing, etc.
  - channel link tests continuing

o Everything ready at Assembly house for production as soon as green
  light is given.

o ADFs to Fermilab for integration tests
  - Dan will be out at Fermilab tomorrow & over the weekend
    . can take an ADF with him
  - then needs to be back at MSU to get production started
  - after that, he will be available for the integration

o Transition system components at MSU
  - tests with this have not really started
  - some concern about fragility of P0 connection to backplane

o ADF v2 PRR: tomorrow (Feb 11) at MSU


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

o Splitters
  - 4 TTs (1 card) are at Fermilab
  - 4 more cards are available at MSU
  - new cards can be installed between stores

o From Lyn Bagby
  - We have tested the first ADF Wiener/VME crate with no problems.
  - A test form and the results of the first crate have been sent to
    Dan and Philippe for their review.
  - Basically we are load testing, recording trip levels, and the CAN
    bus interface.
  - The crate has been installed in the ADF rack on the sidewalk.
  - Testing of the other crates is expected to be completed by Feb 15

o Cabling the ADF Backplane
  - this will be very tight, so it should be practiced
  - AMP cables (ADF-to-TAB) should be tested for proper connectivity
    before being installed
    . a simple test card will do the job - Stefano can do this


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

o Run IIb Simulation meeting next Friday
  - main discussions: status of simulators and status of trigger
    studies
