- Cold Box support:
- Request for HSI with random triggers delayed us slightly but f/ware written and s/ware support in progress
- ST will merge changes for random triggers to both develop and master branches and tag master
- ST will merge s/ware changes and tag
- We will use the two Enclustra+FMC modules (currently in WR Lab) as HSI hardware
- Request for HSI with random triggers delayed us slightly but f/ware written and s/ware support in progress
- WR/DTS tests
- ST setup test on Friday: Have been tagging 1PPS from WR-LEN acting as GPS-DO using a WR-TDC taking timing from WRS which takes timing from DTS endpoint which takes timing from the WR-LEN. Looking at the timing jitter measured should give an indication of end-to-end timing jitter from GPS-DO to Vertical Drift
- ST will analyse data this week/next.
- ST will complete tests of looking at 1PPS fed into WRS and 1PPS coming out of WRS. If stable over number of reboots of WRS then tests will be complete. (The stability of 1PPS into DTS master and then out of DTS endpoint into WRS factorizes. The DTS tests can be done in Bristol ).
- Bringing forwards purchase of WR equipment to WR-LEN has been shipped to Bristol and a WRS is being ordered
- MIB
- AB has sent DC a *.bit file that will allows test of IPBus on MIB SFP
- DC remarked that an additional design testing IPBus on uTCA backplane will also be needed.
- AB will proceed with porting fanout to MIB
- DC will test IPBus link on SFP on Thursday/Friday
- AB points out that we need to clarify specification. DC agreed and said that there were a number of features discussed at the timing system FDR that we have decided not to implement (e.g. being able to accept timing messages from endpoints for distribution through timing network)
- AB has sent DC a *.bit file that will allows test of IPBus on MIB SFP
- New hardware at CERN
- It looks like the VST will be the best place at CERN to test uTCA + MIB + AFC/FIB chain.
- Get combination working in Bristol and discuss with rest of DAQ.
