Minutes:

Attendees: David A., Carl T., Chris L., Jie C., Vardan G., David L.

  • Teams vs. Bluejeans: David will reschedule this as a bluejeans meeting to leave open the possibility of inviting non-Teams-enabled participants
  • Mailing list:
    • Marco B. is going to be setting up a SRO mailing list for Hall-B led effort
    • Hold off on creating another one for now until we decided if single list will suffice
  • David L. reported on the plans to start an FPGA to FPGA project led by Michael G. (new hire starting next week)
  • We discussed merging this meeting with the TriDAS+ERSAP meeting. Decided not to for the time being so that other meeting can keep a heavier TriDAS focus, keeping those collaborators more engaged.
  • INDRA lab
    • VTP firmware
      • Ben R. working with Dave A. implemented more counters to help look for frame loss
      • A "marginal" transceiver was discovered in one of the VTPs. This was replaced and improved stability significantly
      • Still some occasional issues, but these involve data from both transceivers
      • Vardan will take over use of INDRA setup to re-run ERSAP tests with fixed transceiver in place
  • Data Lake
    • Chris L. has implemented file reading in the software source
    • This now allows for properly formatted data frames
    • Highly configurable
  • Ed J. working on VMM chip readout
    • Alexandre C. may or may not have taken a GEM detector from the INDRA lab for testing with a source.
      • Dave A. believes at least one GEM will stay in the INDRA lab and can be used for testing
