  General News
  
  Verbal updates on CSCTF-relevant matters from all
  This past week, on call minutes by Emma Yeager:
  
  General notes:
  
  All firmware has been updated to match MPC
  
  Calls received by EMTF on call expert:
  
  September 20th, 2:51 pm
  
  Throughout the day the DAQ shifter had been issuing hard resets due to multiple ports (up to 9) being in error
  
  Sometimes multiple resets were required at once in order to resolve errors, but Alex had given instructions to reset as needed
  
  September 23rd, 10:30 am
  
  Missed call, shift leader was having trouble with local CSC track finder
  
  When I called back software expert was attempting to restart the system, no further errors were reported
  
  September 24th, 9:00 am
  
  CSCTF reported to be out of sync, DAQ unable to join run
  
  Atanas recommended shifter resync CSCTF, this resolved the issue and DAQ was able to run

    Last week
    
    firmware with closer match between full-precision phi and pattern phi deployed in sector -6 last week
    
    interesting to learn if there are any differences from other sectors
    
    reworking DAQ block to remove limitation at higher rates
    
    almost done, compiling now
    
    will have to test on standalone setup before deploying
    
    working with Khristian on PT LUT procedures in SWATCH
    
    it's working now
    
    Khristian should provide more details
  - e) MPC / MS Hardware Status
    
    Speakers: Jamal Tildon Rorie (Rice University (US)), Mikhail Matveev (Rice University (US))
