Agenda
General Updates
BOF Files
New c1500x0512 mode is now available after errors found in a previous version
Ryan will update vegas.conf and BOF file status page with new file names and test
Randy still struggling with timing errors in c1500x4096 mode but is making progress
Software
We found an error in the way fftshift was being set because the vegas.conf file was being read from the local directory when present instead of the etc/config directory where the official copy is kept. This has now been fixed.
Ryan and Justin will be testing changes to the manager for coherent mode tomorrow
Ray still working on spectral line modes for Matrix
Wideband AP
Circuit board has been designed and will be turned over for cam file generation this week
Vereese will work on controller code and diagnostics once hardware is available
Discussion
Richard would like to compile a list of updates/new info for his visit to SHAO
Rebuild BOF files under the latest version of Xilinx and CASPER libraries
This will require minor changes to the dealer/player to handle new register naming conventions
Updates to guppi_daq to fix polyco generation in cal mode (This is currently up-to-date in Paul's github repo)
Builds with adc snap blocks to use for power monitor
Adding support for switching signal generation
Joe made updates to net-task unpacking to enable wide BW spectral line modes
Does this affect pulsar modes
Low bandwidth BOFs when available
Quarterly planning planning
Highest priority is finishing c1500x4096 mode and making sure that BL has a basic software interface for taking data
We will request more of Jason and Randy's time, with Randy's allocation from VEGAS spectral line converted to VPM
Justin to work on config tool
Allocation will remain the same
We will request 0.05 of Melinda so that she is available to answer questions
Vereese will need some time to work on wideband AP but most of that work will likely happen next quarter. Some development can happen now, and she can help with floor planning. Her highest priority is PAF but we will request 0.1 of her time so she can start coming up to speed.
