• Updates
  • VMM
    • Jeff and Ed working full time on prototype
      Discussion VMM power: VMM requires 8 voltages rails
    • slides for power distribution
    • firmware work : almost done simulating GBT
    • configuration VMM3 code
    • check with Nilanga for parts
    • VMM3 on site , compiling
    • FPGA :
    • waiting for quote and trying finish simulation and will order
    • fast memory could be shortage too
  • FADC being readout by Dave Abbott, modifying CODA to setup FPGA ROC
    • Bryan working on MPD readout with VTP
  • UMass
    • preliminary results for asymmetry : 5% , but get 10 % need to check - not delayed - 30 Hz quad -
      GEM UVA ready
      start setup UVA X-ray
      check if all harware needed for SSP readout
      *can check Eval board VMM while waiting for prototype
