Minutes

Present: Elliott W, Simon T, Mark D, Hovanes E, Alex S, Nerses G, Serguei P, Beni Z, Yi Q, Curtis M, Sean D, Justin S, Dave A, Carl T, Vardan G, Eugene C, Dave L.

Front End Firmware

Ed J is working on the firmware. The FADC250 firmware supports the standard readout format, he is working on the F1. Cody will get to the FADC125 at some point.

IOC's for Voltage Control

See Nerses' slides for complete details. Channels have both geographic (crate/slot/channel) and logical (BCAL/bias/...) names so he uses MySQL tables to hold and correlate these. The new EPICS backup/restore facility from JLab will be used.

RootSpy

Sean reported (see his slides) on improvements to RootSpy, update and use of the build system, archiving and scaled overlays and a to-do list. RootSpy works on multiple Linux operating systems as well as on MacOS.
