'''Simon Jolly''', '''Saad Shaikh''', '''Raffaella Radogna''', '''Fern Pannell'''

=== [[ELogs/SaadShaikh|Saad Shaikh]] ===
*Updated FPGA design features:
**Switch 0 sets acquisition mode (triggered vs. continuous)
**Switches 1, 2, 3 control dynamic range.
**Buttons (0-3): reset, pause, trigger, test mode.
**LEDs (0-3): clocking wizard status, test mode setting, 2 state LEDs.
*Pre-compiled version of Live Plot macro, with on-screen display of FPS.
*Gave Simon measurements of DDC232 circuit board for support bar.
*Completed 9-month research log entry.
*Primarily working on Transfer Report now.
*Will email Marko about improvements to DDC232 circuit board (input-resistor mapping and LED on/off switches).
*Need to update Wiki pages about FPGA, detector operation and data analysis.

=== [[ELogs/RaffaellaRadogna|Raffaella Radogna]] ===
* Programmed the FPGA using Saad's latest version of the code. Tested all the features.
** Will look at the code to learn all the details
* Discussed with Ruben the physics part of the fellowship application. Will need to update the proposal shortly.
* Joao accepted to support the application. She will prepare a draft for his letter.
