Present: Alexei, Jim, Grazyna, Daniel, Gene, Flemming, Tommy, and myself

== Hardware

— everything is working well

— some minor laser issues (tuning etc.)

— grid leak crate failed a couple days ago

— David was notified, did hard reset through slow controls

— problems seems to have been resolved and is now okay

— can we update manuals to ensure this does not happen in future?

— *Action Item* need to have “global reset” button programmed into the GUI, and also include instructions for manual reset

— Wiener manual needs to be added to the web pages as well

— may be ~20 hours of data taken without GL wall powered (may need special handling)

— there were other mitigation measures put in place years ago, but have not been tested in absence of GL wall

— bad module from GL crate (from 2021) was replaced and sent for repair yesterday

== Electronics

— may not have been enough time during APEX to fix current RDOs down 

— usual outages and recoveries continue

== Software

— Run 22 p+p 500 SC

— a fourth pass was done with portion of data

— four remaining fills with statistics just below what is required

— ran 22 jobs with slightly less statistics, will finish today

— everything possible to calibrate will be done at that point

— will then be waiting on TPC alignment

— TFG24d

— new TPC alignment is pending approval of changes in GitHub

— GitHub approval process still proceeding 

— Need some questions answered regarding hit error changes

== AOB

— Nothing new discussed this week

Best Regards,

  Richard
