results from STFC DL

New AIDA ASIC test hardware has been delivered but is not yet operational
due to other immediate tasks
	
FEE
---

6x FEE64 u/s
19 1 or more noisy channels (periodic noise) 
50 A OK

Still need complete mechanical assembly of FEE modules - Dave Bogg/IL/JS
are currently attempting to sort out manpower to complete this job


1k sample trace capture deadtime to be investigated

testing disc algorithm and data handling/processing

note waveform/processed waveform data are time ordered
     ASIC analog data readout time ordered

     combination of both not yet time ordered

     waveform/processed waveform data and ASIC analog data to
     two distinct data streams

     two data streams merged and time ordered by external Linux workstation
 
Software
--------


Mechanical
----------

T4 AIDA assembly in progress. Chiller installed.

Require 4 crates with min of 1 FEE64 modules [per crate)
to test MSL type BB18 DSSSD prototypes.
 
AoB

Possible FAIR/DESPEC/HISPEC/PRESPEC test slot Autumn 2013
Possible RIKEN campaign with BELEN 2014

A+ FEE64 will be delivered December/week 1

Awaiting mezzanine mech delivery - PCBs ready
on delivery will send to STFC RAL
