Received the EVG/EVR 200 series VME hardware (which sends up to 2K data buffer) Adapted driver and device support to: send the PNET data buffer (measured 66 µs transfer) be OSI (running on mvme6100, RTEMS4.7) with help from Till Straumann, Eric Bjorklund, Timo Korhonen, Jukka Pietarinen and Bob Dalesio Wrote Timing Trigger System Engineering Manual Received the EVR 200 series PMC module Installed fiber optic network in Bldg 280 for testing

5. Dayle Kotturi and Stephanie Allison Facility Advisory Committee Meeting dayle@slac.stanford.edudayle@slac.stanford.edu, saa@slac.stanford.edu April 20-21, 2006 What has happened since then? (2) Stephanie is setting up a hardware teststand with separate IOCs for EVG and EVR in Bldg 34 for CPE engineers to do: Timing comparison with existing CAMAC timing system (MPG/PDU) Timing measurements – jitter, etc Shakedown by the experts Test stand to include: EVG, PNET, EVR, EVR transition module, EVG fanout later Inputs: PNET pattern from CAMAC timing system, fiducial trigger, and 476Mhz clock Outputs: EVR front panel and back transition module Infrastructure: VME crates, dedicated terminal server, dedicated PC, fiber between EVG and EVR EPICS: test databases and displays, EVR done, EVG in-progress
