Not sure due to summer vacations

There was a meeting where they discussed who will work on the threes tasks specified by Elliott:

Farm management software - Carl
Simulation of raw data - Carl
Automated readout list - Bryan
Event disentangling apparently is not a part of the deal, but DAQ group will be providing us with expertise and examples of how to do this.

Test stand is in Room 126 in EEL building.
Currently includes a VME crate, CAEN SY1527 HV crate, AB 1756 chassis with a processor, 1734 chassis on a DIN-rail.
EPICS driver for VME/VXS crate control exists and working.
CAEN SY1527 EPICS driver in progress.
PLC firmware and software is being stalled.
The problem with DHCP and PXE booting for the new Linux-based VME CPUs has not been resolve. The CPUs boot on Bryan's and Sergey's networks, but they did not get DHCP offer (may be 1 out of 10) on 36 subnet. Hovanes and Sasha will be working with CF cards for now until the problem has been resolved. Bryan is helping with setting it up.

Sasha is developing a software to quickly request information from ROCs based on ROOT classes. This will help him in development of the trigger software using FADCs.
The work is in progress, one of the goals is to specify what we need to specify to electronics group for the scalers on FADCs.

Andrew could not connect to JLab last couple of weeks due to the cyber event.
Event display is done except for 3D tracks.
DANA-event display communications with DANA/JANA is pretty much complete.
Andrew can work on this project up until May.
The software is kept in CLAS12 SVN repository.
The geometry of the Event Display is defined in a file. The DANA reconstruction also uses XML file and some hardcoded pieces to define geometry, so the geometry is taken from 3 different places.

Bryan gets 20KHz steady rate currently limited by the amount of the data in the FADCs. It should be easy to reach 100KHz.
There are two crates with two FADCs in each. CTPs are programmed to use maximum 2 FADCs. The number of the FADC will be increased to ~16 sometime this week.

Sasha reported that a number of FADC arrived (~20 modules). Four of them had some problems. More are expected to arrive later this week.
Trigger schedule is delayed.
TI and SD will be tested later this year (2 SD prototypes + 6 SD modules + 10 TI modules) . Production is moved to the next year, while in the recently updated schedule we decided to do it this year.
CTP and SSP production schedule is moved even further. We have 4 prototype of each type to be tested.
Sasha mentioned that if any group wants to use a realistic trigger setup this fall they need to let him now so that we try allocate sufficient number of modules.

Beni reported that he had problems making entries into IRMIS using both Chrome and Firefox.
