(apologies to those I couldn't see)


Test Area Status 
----------------
o Cabling: Alan & Rahmi have been working on the cabling
  - photo's available on Alan's website
  - TAB/GAB backplane side is done
  - routed to appropriate ADF crates
  - features
    . very difficult to do the last few cables
    . 3 times a locking mechanism fell off the backplane
    . one cable was nicked by wirecutters (#62) - should be checked
  - took as long as expected

o This was delicate enough that Alan would prefer not to do it again
  - looking into possibility of leaving the cables connected to crate
    when we move it into the MCH 
  - this should be possible - but needs to be planned in detail

o ADF cabling
  - 1 crate already finished
  - the difficult bit will be the rack with 2 ADF crates in it
    . note: this won't be a problem in MCH1
  - this part will take longer than expected because
    cables have to be resorted at ADF end
    . this won't have to be redone in MCH1
  - probably 2-3 days more of work to finish this up
    . but can already start testing the cabled-up crate

o Next Things to do
  - test what has already been cabled up
  - once all cabled - test whole system
    . Mike/Dan/Philippe will decide upon a format for this test
  - start exercising the TAB/GAB - COOR interface using a subset of
    COOR messages


Triggerlist/Simulation
----------------------
o First Run IIb triggerlist (xml) has now been generated
  - 1 term of each main type of trigger

o P17 jet calibration problem affects (some) of our jet turnon curves
  - are planning soon to take a enhanced bias run that should help out
    here 


Pulser
------
o Checks on pulser
  - were able to find changes made to (Run IIa) system using the
    pulser

o Working on Run IIb system

o Calibration
  - will take a calibration run soon (normal physics data sample) and
    derive calibration coefficients uisng the examine
