Saad Shaikh

  • Tested DDC232 daisy-chain with resistors, experimental runs listed here.
    • Will send another email to Clive and Izzat to ask for help.
    • Raffy to get in touch with Marko to get a quote on new DDC232 boards made.
  • Added new details to the DDC232 page, with latest version of FTDI code.
  • FTDI code works on Raspberry Pi, with only a few changes to compile command.
    • ftdi_tcioflush function not found, but older deprecated version can be used instead.
    • Pi is slow, with average time between measurements at about 650us instead of 180us.
    • Will benchmark performance of "minimal" version of FTDI code, where data is collected but not processed.
    • Will also benchmark performance of "full" and "minimal" versions of FTDI code on Windows.
  • Will compare channel noise of single DDC232 board with alternate photodiodes replaced with resistors.
  • Will start investigating non-ROOT-based fit.
    • Raffy has suggested to use GNU scientific library.
  • Working on HEP School problems this week.
