Discussion of Pre-Installation Tests in the Test Area
------------------------------------------------------

o System Overview: see Mike's slides

o System Testing Periods
  1) Crucial Milestone: ADF-to-TAB tests
  2) Vertical Slice Test
  3) System Functioning Tests


Period 1
--------

o Main Goal: test ADF-to-TAB interface at full speed

o Hardware Needed (to come with Dan next week)
  - ADF cards
  - Control crate
  - need to set up VI
    . directions will be sent from MSU

o Firmware
  - need to include pseudo-random number receiver in TAB

o Online Software
  - will run ADF and TAB standalone control software separately
    . but using same computer and Bit3

o BLS-to-ADF System Work (in parallel)
  - suggestion in ADF PRR (and later) to modify paddle card to make
    cabling easier
    . extend to edge of back of crate include P0 connector (cables to
      TAB) 
    . this means that we have to be careful with transmission lines
  - card cage for paddle cards plugging in back of ADF crate available
    from Wiener


Period 2
--------

o Main Goal: Data to all external systems

o Order of Tasks
  1) TAB --> Tape
     . this will be a new geographic sector
     . getting power supplies for readout crate
     . need to get VRBs, SBC, VRBC, etc.
     . SCL for VRBC
     . need ethernet connection to DAQ
     . initial tests b/w stores as independent run
     . Software for this
       > COOR configuration
     . Software to read it off tape
       > hex dump 
       > unpacker ==> Need someone in charge of this !

  2) BLS-to-ADF Transition System
     - not a bench-test of BLS-to-ADF system, rather a sanity check
       that we can see data
     - probably have to use prototype BLS-to-ADF system for this

  3) GAB --> TFW
     - need to check that these signals are ok

  4) TAB --> L1Muon
     - cables to Cal-Track have been laid

  5) TAB/GAB --> L2

o Online Software
  - merge separate ADF and TAB/GAB control software
    . an opportunity for involvement from new people

o Offline Software
  - compare splitter data with simulation
    . opportunity for involvement


Period 3
--------

o Main Goals: System stability and scalability

o Online Software
  - EPICS
  - COOR
  - will want to include L1Cal data in normal data stream
    . from time to time in physics runs
    . as often as possible out of physics


Other Business
--------------

o Collaboration Review
  - need to think about when this should be done / what it should
    comprise 

o Recording progress
  - Chip's weblog
  - Online logbook
