  Will look into getting better resistors for current source
  
  Check with production companies:
  
  If basic PCB electrical test is included
  
  To make sure that they reajust the layer stack to match impendances
  
  Could eventually request more specific functional testing. But cost will drastically increase.
  
  Safiral and SoftCom state that production can only start if the order is fully payed. Need to check with production companies and purchasing office how to solve the situation.
  
  Request quotation for 31 pieces + how many board per panel

  AOB¶ 15m
  
  Proposed short-term (2024-2026) research goals for DRD3-WG5 on characterisation techniques, facilities:
  
  - Extension of the TPA-TCT to wide-band semiconductor characterization (SiC & Diamond) & use of spatial light modulation for optimization of the spatial resolution
  
  - Upgrade Caribou DAQ hardware, firmware and software to advanced Ultrascale+ FPGA platform.
  
  - Efficient exploitation of common infrastructure (such as TPA-TCT and Caribou): Promoting awareness within the community during the DRD3 workshops, dedicated showcase of use and subsidizing access fees or providing grants for specific projects
  
  - Organizing mini-workshops for training on the use of characterization techniques and DAQ tools
