Private Discussions

• Dave Francis: just finishing PC ROS code. Release soon. NB complete PC ROS needs a PC Corbo: ``nose'' from Andreas Kugel (Mannheim) on commercial MicroEnable card (borrow from friendly local ROS group?)
• Barry Green: willing to help in CPROD-ROS test in London/RAL area. (But maybe with reference software at the ROS end).
• Igor Soloviev: useful discussion on confdb extensions
• Beniamino di Girolamo: is interested in detector-DAQ interface. Is proposing new training/guides at various levels: (a) language (b) online s/w intro (c) online s/w training (d) ROS training?
  Tile calibrations: many points in single run (except test beam energy scan).
• Lorenzo Moneta: not much thought on calibrations yet. But probably one run per point, series of runs under script control.
• John Dawson: code for ROIB tests by Jim Schlereth does intelligent comparisons of Slink packets (can ignore BCID and L1ID mismatches). We should send example test vectors.
• Bill Cleland: control of Receiver crates: no CPU, only SPAC interface. Separate crate (LAr+Tile?) with CPU and SPAC controller(s).
• Nick Ellis: interested in commonality across Level 1: at least tools, software process, etc.
  How will we do run control? Milestone for ``integration'' with Online software (suggested Dec 2001).
  What about DCS?
