    • make adapter tp plug detector to test board with direct outputs

• Ben has access to clean room on week-end - was able to test at 1.25 Gbps seems stable - limit trigger to 2.7 kHz 6 samples 15 APV - need longer stability testing
• need set up INFN clean room - will try today or tomorrow - for next week
• few issues with MPD / CODA , Bryan will help , new procedure relies on new driver - need to know where config files are
