  1. We discussed the configuration 'constants' as listed in the ver 5.03 link above - all should be registered as configurable parameters with the exception of a few which can be eliminated by decreeing that the data buffer will start with sample 0 and contain the pedestal window (starting at sample 0), the hit window (starting at sample NP+1) and ending at sample NW, and the following 6 samples which are needed for upsampling. This eliminates the need for parameters WS and NH.
    1. First sample in NW is sample 0. Pedestal is samples 0 to NP, hit window is samples NP+1 (previously WS) to WE.
    2. For raw mode we should read out entire NW including extra 6 samples
    3. Integration ends at the earlier of IE or WE
  2. We need to ask Bryan to add some safety-checks to the driver, to include
    1. NP and NP2 must be powers of 2
    2. NP2 <= NP
  3. Status report from Cody - he is working on adding the config parameters as register variables and will next work on the VME tags. He will liaise with Naomi over making timing for one particular step in the timing module.
  4. Naomi will present something at the May meeting and Cody will present something more detailed in October.
