2. Topics
Meeting goals
Review status of Performance and Operations Test Plan
Team Goals
Define test requirements necessary through December
Tracker and Cal post delivery tests
Cal tests post integration with TEM and TEM/PS
Tower integration tests
Multi tower tests (without ‘final’ flight software)
Third layer boxes tests as necessary
Testing with next delivery of flight software, all third layer boxes and ACD will be defined in the next phases

3. Performance and Operations Test Plan Status
Plan is drafted through the two target test with the following liens
TEM/TEM PS tests not defined
Calorimeter tests identified, but text definition not available
Tracker tests updated with ‘latest’ info, but the Tracker Test Plan is not final
Two tower test definition still in work
Interface tests will be called out, but the detailed approach is currently under lively debate
Trigger and Data Flow tests
Some questions about the trigger testing called out
Details of data collection series not yet included

4. TEM/TEM PS Tests
Per discussions with Gunther, the TEM/TEM PS combined tests are:
Verify general functionality
Verify ability to communicate with CAL and Tracker
Verify thermistor performance
Measure output voltages and check voltage telemetry at nominal settings and at low and high settings
current procedure covers EGSE adjustable voltages as well as bias voltages
The tests may be done with voltage variations and clock variations
This test uses specific EGSE

5. Cal and Tracker Test Status
Tests have been changed to match the test list instead of the script list
Still need final test definitions
Tracker
Tests have been updated to use latest approach
Tower level test calls out tray level tests
Numbering convention changes
Tray level tests prefixed with TSL instead of TE
Still a few tests under consideration that may be added
