* Chase up Harry about scintillator sheets
* Chase up Tony about UCLH CMOS data for 3x3 and 5x5 fields
* Electronics will be received by 20/2
* Sonia and Joe to consider options for normalisation of QuARC signal to be in terms of Gy or MU
* Aiming for beam tests - UCLH for week 5/5, Trento for week 12/5

* Average.csv file that writes raw data to decimal format, separated into two for dual readout
* Checked that data and errors from average.csv and average_dual.csv are identical and work on gui
* Will need to generate two calibrated file in real time
** Need to check reading direction of fpga so knows which way the calibration coefficients need to be applied
* Created separate DAQ_dual and gui that shows both Bragg peaks
* Calibration performed for post processing
** Need to create two separate files and calibrate independently
** Currently run split_file.cpp works from terminal and generates two files but files not generated when run from GUI
** Alternative option to generate two separated files during acquisition directly
* Scintillators should be ready from John and Wayne in 1.5 months ? Will take longest
* Assembly by mid-april?
* Joe chase up photodiodes order
* Matt shall be testing rev e and mod firmware with new electronics next week
* Windows + patch panel will take around a couple of weeks

* For QuADProBe reconstruction adjusting energy by constant offset since QuARC seems to be measuring ~5.5 MeV less than DICOM
* For paper reconstructions should run simulations using:
** All DICOM params
** All QuADProBe params (1 using CMOS intensity, another using QuARC intensity)
** QuADProBe params, DICOM intensity
** Just QuARC energy
* Had call with Sam on Monday to discuss transmission calorimeter data - can try to use it to scale to actual dose, although TC data is in K but has been correlated with prescribed dose
* Attempted to duplicate QuARC G4 simulation in TOPAS but not so successful so will continue using the G4 version
