	* ~~Nuvia invited us out to~~ Prague ~~on w/b 7/4 or 21/4~~		* Prague PTC planned measurements
	* Spoke to Czech PTC ~~proton physicist about visiting and possible beam time~~		** Shoot through calibrations
	* ~~Fly on Thursday 24/4 - Friday 25/4 at Nuvia, Saturday 26/4 at PTC~~		** Pristine Bragg peaks
	** Bring 4 modules with two boards each module but bring whatever we can		** SOBP treatment plan
	* ~~Aim for two consecutive evenings in UCLH at some point in May~~		** WET measurement at same time as shoot through calibrations
	** Pristine Bragg peaks		** Moving couch to ensure perfectly straight beams at different lateral positions
	** ~~SOBPs~~		** 30,000 measurements ~ 5 secs for pristine Bragg peaks
	** Moving ~~the QuARC~~ to ~~check effect of measuring beam off axis~~
	* Email from Andy Rose at ~~Imperial for advice on integrated FPGA back-end DAQ such as on-chip KRIA (less CPU than pi5 but more FPGA power than USB104)~~
	** ~~Also was able to re-factor Kelleter equation to optimise~~ for ~~computing to be ~700x faster in C++~~

* To-do list prepared for Prague
* Fake-generated data to check “live acquisition” calibration and firing
* For long runs not possible to kill acquisition from GUI (I.e. stop button stops calibration and fitting) - need to access to ftdi from GUI which is blocked by web servers
* On patch panel of Peli case in case pi’s don’t work and need to use DAQ laptop
