DAQ update (from Brad)

  • Hakob is continuing with the cable bundling efforts in the ESB.
  • Some members of the French group are on-site and working on hooking up temperature and humidity sensors.
  • Fernando plans to test the effectiveness of noise suppression at the FADC digitiser, although there are some concerns about this being a long-term solution to the noise issue.
  • NPS how-to is on the wiki [1]

Software update (from Zheng)

  • Single-arm SHMS SIMC studies were presented.

Software update (from David)

  • Based on the hcana classes and replay files developed by Steve Wood and Carlos Yero. Still some issues to be tidied up, but it already decodes writes the 26-sample waveform to a root tree.
  • Example event display available in replay repo above under macros (also here [2]).
