* For next steps when attempting to communicate with S17825's - will need to use a zibo or nexus FPGA with Febian and Raffy's help (by modifying firmware from analogue photodiode arrays) to generate clock pulse for MCLK (14 - 32 MHz).
* Simon will draft out initial points for UCL I&E Knowledge Exchange grant and then send over.
* New DDC232 have arrived - so need to test with Febian.

=== [[ELogs/Febian|Febian]] ===

* Installed apache etc onto Kria
* Maybe receiving some firmware from Andy on readback pattern for kria, but can look at doing with testing signals initially.

=== [[ELogs/SimonJolly|Simon Jolly]] ===

* Sorting out QuARC patent IP with UCLB etc
* Preparations for two internal UCL grants (I&E Knowledge Exchange and early-stage commercialisation grants) as well as STFC UKRI proof-of-concept grant.

==== 2nd prototype preparations (S17285-128 digitial readout) ====

* Had two meetings with Blake Leverington and Julian Horne from Heidelberg on replicating/adapting the design of the frontend readout system of their fibre array monitor.
* Have so far received assembly drawings, technical description booklet, schematics and slides.
* Investigate from Heidelberg SciFi readout setup and HSMC pin configurations what each of the signals do and how they get inputted in to the FPGA (on one end) and ADCs (on the other).

=== QuARC ===

* Learn from Sonia how to operate the QuARC and diagnose any hardware and software issues ahead of Trento beam test in September.
* Analyse the data from Trento beam test nights 1 and 2.
** Correlate position measurements with fibres.
* Continue Sonia's analysis from PPTC and UCLH.

=== MC Simulations ===
==== Dose Reconstruction ====
* TOPAS Simulations fully working on cluster and used to reconstruct 3D dose distributions from QuADProBe UCLH Beam Test 2024 for frontiers paper.
* FRED-MC working on old MacBook Air (2020) intel processor and matches TOPAS simulations. Doesn't run on new MacBook Pro as not compatible with apple silicon.
* FRED installed on Hypatia.

==== QuARC & QuADProBe Geant4 Simulations ====

* Saads QuARC G4 simulation working and added scoring onto left and right sides
* Get QuARC G4 simulation working with most recent G4 and have PD sized scoring area.

=== Fibres ===

==== 1st prototype measurements (S11865-128 analog PD arrays with Zybo + NI) ====

* Understand Raffy's fibre readout for Trento beam test (will discus when she visits in September) - operated fibre readout with zybo and NI on DAQ express on behalf of raffy.
* Continue to work with Raffy on optimising analysis code.
* Analyse the data from Trento beam test nights 2 and 3.
** Correlate position measurements with QuARC.
* Get film data from Enrico and analyse to compare to fibres.
* Maybe duplicate setup at UCL, if need to establish calibration using LED or laser?
* Get beam data from Trento from Enrico.

==== 2nd prototype preparations (S17285-128 digitial readout) ====

* Had two meetings with Blake Leverington and Julian Horne from Heidelberg on replicating/adapting the design of the frontend readout system of their fibre array monitor.
* Have so far received assembly drawings, technical description booklet, schematics and slides.
* Investigate from Heidelberg SciFi readout setup and HSMC pin configurations what each of the signals do and how they get inputted in to the FPGA (on one end) and ADCs (on the other).

=== QuARC ===

* Learn from Sonia how to operate the QuARC and diagnose any hardware and software issues ahead of Trento beam test in September.
* Analyse the data from Trento beam test nights 1 and 2.
** Correlate position measurements with fibres.
* Continue Sonia's analysis from PPTC and UCLH.
