RUN 2B L1CAL MEETING MINUTES
                   31 May, 2005

Present 
o no video - couldn't see



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

o Continued development of GAB firmware
  - should have an ~complete version ready for test at Fermilab soon
    (end of this week?)
  - things to test (at Fermilab) using this firmware
    . outputs to TFW: correct protocol
    . outputs to L2/L3: signal jitter



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

o Dan bringing 40 ADFs to Fermilab tomorrow morning
  - all will then be at Fermilab
  - will also return crate, power supply and fan tray




BLS-to-ADF Transition System (A.Stone)
----------------------------

o Review on May 19 of schematics
  - mostly minor changes have been made

o One outstanding issue on Transition Card
  - checking on impedance matching for traces from pleated foil cables

o 10 Pleated Foil cables have been tested succesfully
  - asked vendor to make remaining 180

o Patch Panel cards req (for 25) out
  - will order the rest after these are tested

o Cable labels ordered
  - will start labelling cables soon

o Req out on Friday for hinged patch panels

o Working on testing card for testing full Transition System
  - will test signal-to-signal and -to-ground shorts 
  - also will test P1 (using special card)



Test System (M.Mulhearn, M.Naimuddin)
-----------

o Splitters
  - Dan will get the existing 4 TTs working when he's out at Fermilab

o VRB to Tape
  - succeeded doing this last Saturday

o ADF-to-TAB-to-Tape
  - have done a hex-dump of this using Todd's unpacker

o ADF-to-TAB long-term data transfer tests
  - have run this transfer in pseudo random number mode for several
    hours with no parity errors

o L2/L3 long-term data transfer tests
  - trying to access VTM error codes through VRB
    . should be able to have an answer about whether we see the same
      problem as at L2 in L3


Unpacker (T.Adams)
-------- 
o Have been testing the code on simulated L1Cal output from Wendy
  - also run on data written this weekend (not exactly the right
    format - so only a hex dump)

o There is a test program that makes histograms
  - framework program



L1Cal Online Software (P.Laurens)
---------------------
o see slides linked off of agenda

o What exists
  - infrastructure for communicating with COOR
  - c-code for controlling TAB/GAB at basic level
  - code for controlling ADF


Run IIb L1Cal EM Algorithm (G.Pawloski)
--------------------------
o see slides linked off of the agenda

o Putting the new algorithm into tsim_l1cal2b
  - will need to do this in the next few weeks
