U.S. ATLAS HL-LHC Upgrade LAr Level 2 and Level 3 Managers Mailing List

[Tim Andeen <timothy.robert.andeen AT cern.ch>]

Hi John, 

Thanks for the comments, they all make sense. I'm updating the slides this evening, will let you know when I'm done. I'll be working late here. Two quick replies: 

1) I have your PCB quotes, but added the big stuff first. Will add this to the slides. 

2) VL+ cost increase: adding a slide on this. Basic issue: we lost the cheap ($30) 1tx1rx variant for ckl/ctrl link. Now have to use 4tx1rx ($150) for everything. 

best, Tim

Hi all,

        I uploaded a draft of the slides for my
L3 talk; comments are welcome.  I now have to work
on preparing the agenda page.  I will look later at
Hao's draft slides, and everyone else let me know
if you upload an updated version.
        Regards,
                John
