Summary of meeting
------------------

ASIC

LEC - SLT to comment

Summary of HEC tests (see -  )
Saturation observed at 5-10GeV
SLT suggests:
- using smaller voltage step as test input, i.e. using larger test capacitors
- check behaviour single-shot cf. repetition mode
SLT will supply revised settings for new design - default should be
satisfactory

4 mezzanine modules delivered
+ 1 to be delivered

12-15 in next 2-3 weeks
remainder to follow in June (to replace those shipped to GSI and
provide system at DL for VFEP, PCS etc to continue work on and
