Announcements

Next Meeting

Skipping a meeting due to collaboration meeting

Minutes

(written after the collaboration meeting based on faulty memory and inadequate notes!)


Present: Elliott W, Dave B, Graham H (forgot to record who else).


EPICS Archiver

Still negotiating with Accelerator, hoping to bring computer cost down from original $55k.


Elog

So far so good for solenoid test, but many requested features not implemented. Basic entries w/attachments work, as does autolog entries, comments and updates.


Network Outage

Do NOT muck with network equipment, contact Elliott, Hovanes or David L prior to touching anything. We lost connection to the PLC for a few hours due to a cabling mistake.


Gas System

Dave will order PLC equipment. He will test PLC and some sensors in his test setup in the ARC.


Counting House

We are in the process of ordering/borrowing computer equipment and should have a basic system installed by the end of the month. We will purchase remaining equipment in conjunction with the upcomong large CC order (may be able to save a lot). Furniture and consoles are mostly chosen and we hope to order everything by early next month.


UPS Power in the Hall

Final decision by Giles, but it looks like using RFI line filters to filter power from the Counting House UPS and running circuits down to the hall is the way to go. Fernando is happy with this.


Solenoid Test

Still waiting for Cryo to fix compressors, might go cold in a few weeks. Danfysik power supply to be checked out, including new PLC code (by Dave). SOE almost ready, needs to be checked. QD needs modifications and testing. PXI needs to be tested. Some cables still to be installed. MySQL logging by RSLogix program working well after database mods.
