Project: CALICE

PMF Number: 29
Project Manager: Rob Halsall / Steve Quinton
Date of PMF: 5 Mar 2004
Date Submitted: 5 Mar 2004
News and Comment: The last phone meeting was held on 3/3/04. The next will be at 1.00 pm on 11/03/04.
Progress has been made with the firmware and testing is now underway using the VFE card. Once this is completed the plan is to move the test setup to Imperial. There is a circuit fault on one set of front end channels, Adam will investigate when the board is available.
Actions from previous PMF: Provide support & consultancy for testing as required IC/SAB Ongoing
Investigate & provide support for power sequencing issues, JS, 19-12-2003, ongoing, will follow up when the firmware is in place and the board is drawing full operating current
Provide consultancy for BE/VME FPGA, ST/EF, Ongoing
Make sure Route Cards & Problem Reports up to date, SAB, 19-12-2003, ongoing
Update Project Spec and sign off, RH/PD, 15-12-2003, SQ to check with Paul
Test NIM to LVDS module, SAB, 30-11-2004, will be done if required for testing
