Fixed issues with pyBDSIM script courtesy of Laurie Nevay!
Run through ATF2 examples successfully.
Exceed visualisation doesn't work without Exceed 3D extension:
- Should be covered under UCL CHEST agreement.
- Will contact Ben Waugh, Fahad Ihsan, Tony Hoare and Robert Silk to obtain access to UCL copy.
- Exceed 15 3D download is available from UCL SWDB Exceed download page.
Will contact Laurie Nevay to get started with Clatterbridge BDSIM simulation.
Will write up notes on all problem solving and include it in the ELog.

Poster finished for PPRIG:
- Main poster plot comparing intensity just needs a few tweaks.
- Will change colour map and rearrange plot.
- SJ will attempt to produce poster plot in Matlab.
Need to verify whether poster needs to be printed: SJ has emailed Charles-Antoine Collins Fekete and Russell Thomas.

Caen HV now working over ethernet:
- Only works via telnet.
- Macs need telnet copied from pre-High Sierra OS.
Installed software for Nikon D7500 camera.
Organised cabling, electronics and scintillators into storage boxes.

Finished progress report: will submit today.
Need to extract information from progress report to update presentation.
Will recheck minimum and maximum signal currents from photodiode and contact Hamamatsu to confirm.

Finished installing and testing software for Nikon D7500:
- DigiCamControl provides useful control but can crash camera if switching certain settings.
- Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 more stable but not free.
SJ obtained quote for Nikon software from WEX: will probably purchase.
More memory cards needed: SJ will purchase.
