* Arrives on Sun 27th - will be around on UCL from Monday with fibre setup
* New equipment for second setup will be arriving in Bari soon
* Will need 20-25cm prior to QuARC
* Hole on optical board for cables to pass through
* Use trolly with optical board

=== [[ELogs/SoniaEscribano|Sonia Escribano]] ===

* Mismatch between root and macOS when looking at fitting code
* In code, issue with position - definition of centre of sheets - works well for one module - but when using two modules becomes issue - assumes separation is 1.5 mm instead of 3 mm
** Accounting for this reduces the 1.5 mm offset
** Constant observed offset is removed if start counting at 3mm rather than 0 mm
** Will check with other sets of data
* Currently debugging the code
** Sheet positions pulled from file with sheet thicknesses on it - may need to update and simplify for future production - maybe put into .json file?
* Future experiment - updated QuARC (with new scintillators and improved electronics) UCLH before Xmas to do list:
** No news from Martin
** Harry visiting Datron but no news yet - ask Harry
** Need to test electronics
** Lab testing with DAQ laptops and GUI should be done
*** Even if scintillators aren't ready should do with photodiodes and code
*** Sonia to take charge of this
** In terms of DAQ and GUI
*** Gui needs testing with new fpga and electronics - need whole. Module to test
*** Live visualisation: Live data and then at end of live data see the fit -- Live data readout - one fit to all data - then trigger post processing -- Live data readout - one fit to all data - then trigger post processing
*** Postprocessing - currently two codes calibration & fit oof avg measurement

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

* For fitting - have single calibration file per module as opposed to two (one per shoot through for each direction) ?
* How to include errors in the fitting - I.e. put large errors on sheets with less accurate value to influence fit less

* Goal of new QuARC test to tests new electronics Daisy chain with usb-c and double sided photodiodes
** 4 modules with 8 boards to do immediate measurements i.e. daisy-chaining 8 modules
** But only need online readout of 4
** To test scanning beam position and how this can reconstruct the Bragg peak and compare to simulated beam
** New good sheets from harry, in newly designed scintillator sheet holders mounted into a newly cut peli-case
** Testing new ddc boards and usb 104 chain
** As well as checking light output with existing fpga code on new ddc boards to ensure fpga code on new boards
** Sending for new ddc and new mod boards to be produced
** Maybe still have beam test with new scintillator and old ddc boards etc
* Can maybe acquire with fibres ? Since fibre DAQ is independent currently ?
