Objectives:

Strategy:

Designate 2130V as the nominal HV for cosmics, to raise more hits above the noise, but keep 20V headroom for the AI.
Tell the AI that the HVB current is constant at 9uA so that it can operate within the range of its trained data
Use 1V steps and 1h runs

Needs:

AIEC software to read epics and wait for a stable period before calculating the gain and setting the HV
Method for scaling the HVB current to what it would be at the nominal HV before running the AI - will not be needed for cosmics but will be needed for CPP.
Script to project dE/dx for 4-10 GeV tracks, fit it and calculate the gain factor

Questions:

Do we need to force a B field in the reconstruction sw (wait for Simon to answer)
- Simon reported progress on straight track reconstruction (email to David and Naomi Feb. 24th)
Full DAQ or standalone DAQ?
- Ask Sergey for configuration with only CDC, BCAL, start counter, FDC
When are we doing this?
- Need to coordinate with Hall-D. Potentially Feb. 24 - Mar. 10?
