- Communication issues (missing acknowledgments) between TI and TD
- - new firmware for TI (tip76) provided by William
- (installed on FCAL crates)
- - new firmware for TD (tdp 73), includes some debugging features
- - initially tested at high rate, have to continue with more tests
- F1TDC initialization issues (32 ns time shift)
- - reproduced using the test stand (Ed)
- trying to reproduce/fix using BCAL cosmic trigger (work in progress)
- Calibration constants for fadc250 (new firmware)
- - new code for the clock distribution (Ben) has been implemented and is being
- tested by Hai and Ed (successfully so far)
- - additional ADC code will be provided by Ben shortly
- - when ready, the new version will be tested using a single crate setup
- (consider to install on some Hall-D crates, if successfully tested)
- Performance of CAEN TDCs at high rate
