AWAKE phase #2 (Stefano)
- Cost estimates including installation for phase #2 to be updated (Stefano/Ray)
- Faraday-cup electronics and software to be based on BI standard (Federico/Stefano)
- Schedule for spectrometer optical line installation to be clarified (Stefano)
- TRIUMF BPM proposed on common beam-line to test frequency response difference between e- and p+. It remains unclear whether simulations take into account realistic working-points (bunch-length and intensity) (L. Soby to check with TRIUMF)
- Spectrometer ANDOR camera read-out and software requirements to be clarified (like streak-camera??) (Stefano)
BWS electronics (J, Emery)
- Solution appears to not use much of the VFC
- Follow-up meeting to be organised by Hermann
- Any delays should not prevent the beam tests foreseen before end of 2016
SPS Fast BST issues (E. Calvo)
- Question about RF changes during chromaticity measurements to be checked (Eva)
- First implementation in BA3 expected before Summer 2016
- Installation in ECA5 expected before the SPS ion run
LSA settings for BI systems (Enrico)
- FESA servers depend on persistency file handling during server restart - some issues seen
- Possible solution means importing device/properties to LSA which would allow reverting to previously stored values (could be named according to the running sequence) - manual intervention required (BI/OP)
- Changes to BI expert applications to allow accessing LSA (Java-based only)
- BE-CO support for non-Java clients to be checked with S. Deghaye
VFC status and plans (Thibaut):
- Access to DDR3 memory from FPGA appears to be working better (Jiri) but work still required in collaboration with ALTERA (Andrea et al)
- Clients for first batch of VFC-HD modules - F. Arnold to use version with no external memory (Federico to confirm)
- First batch of 250 modules expected early 2018
