      Standard DAQ monitoring runs:

      • WIBs + Streaming DAPHNE working in ssh pm
        • Many updates cleaning up errors/warnings: thank you!
      • Working on getting k8s working (Wes)

      DAQ Hardware Activities:

      • NP02 readout switch testing
      • WIB firmware update testing ... using a WIB likely from NP02 or NP02 coldbox (Alessandro)
      • np04-srv-005 benchmark testing ongoing (Bonnie)
        • Plan to present the results next week / have most of the benchmarking done by then
      • Matthew running performance tests for record command for SN burst studies on readout servers (np02-srv-003)
        • record command works locally, but will need update for sending that command remotely
          • followup with Pierre and Roland ... thought it was working, so needs an issue filed

      DAQ software testing involving running with hardware:

      • fddaq-v4.3.0-rc2 testing (Wes, ... ?): when ready, probably Monday
      • DQM deployment and testing (Wes+Vitaliy)
      • TPG testing (Wes+Adam): next week (Tuesday?)
        • Resource usage monitoring
        • SimpleThreshold and AbsRunningSum testing
        • Attempt TPG with WIB pulser runs
      • nanorc / thread-pinning sequencing testing
        • How to organize the thread pinning / configurations?
          • Pierre can further explain in the PR how best to be used. This may need some further discussion before being ready to merge in.
        • Test run registry requirement for inclusion into 4.3.0-rc2 (Friday)
