Minutes for UCL Proton Calorimetry Meetings, 16th September

Present

Raffaella Radogna, Saad Shaikh, Fern Pannell

Saad Shaikh

• Implemented readout before and after CONV to allow shortest possible integration times.
  • Check performance of 160us vs. 180us – former looks choppy.
• Wrote PBT wiki page on QuARC data analysis.
• Added argument to writeCSV.cpp to set frame-rate.
• Submitted transfer report.
  • Will give copy to Raffy for mock mini-viva.
• Wrote and delivered first draft of transfer talk.
  • Will implement feedback.
• Started work on USB interface – steep learning curve with Zybo due to USB interface being tied to processor system.
  • Might be worth buying another board without a processor to reduce overhead. Looking into this.

Fern Pannell

• Lost a few days of the working week due to stolen Macbook and iPad.
• JavaScript parsing row-based data and displaying on frontend correctly.
• Issues still present with changes to the original data file not being displayed on the graph after browser refresh.
• Reading from different data files does show correct information for each file.
  • Ability to display values from selected files but not display values that have been updated in the files themselves suggests a browser issue.
  • Investigate cache clearing - problem likely to be based around this.
