2. ADT Tune Measurement Reminder (Chamonix): Plan: implement gain modulation to selectively reduce ADT gain for witness batch (Chamonix: 12 bunches  Now: 6 bunches) done, but no improvement for BBQ situation: BBQ gating difficult, BI working on it, tests upcoming long term ADT plan: tune from residual ADT signal  massive data treatment, limitations of VME technology  not operational before LS1 as new hardware required Plan B: kick beam (witness batch) selectively by ADT and record free oscillation make an operational tool by combining with already commissioned batch by batch gain modulation use new 16384 word long dedicated study buffer on FPGA of ADT DSPU VME card method gives also the ADT damping time along the cycle  monitoring of performance W.

28. Towards making an operational tool – next steps implement control of parameters in sequencer, plus start / stop functionality (t.b.d.) implement FFTs in front-end (0.45 ms/FFT, 12 FFT  5.4 ms (6 bunches, 2 PU) average FFTs in front-end  publish averaged FFT and tune (peak), fitting (?) make operational with 1374 bunches once sequencer work completed, and acquisition working explore parameter space to get desired resolution understand and decide how to deal with the spurious 20 Hz line next to the tune (!) needs: gain modulation programmed to tailor damping time of the 6 bunches kicking harder at flat top when spurious lines perturb (kicking to larger amplitudes by increasing the number of turns kicked or by increasing normalised gain + additional gain modulation to maintain same gain for main beam) suggestion: use more turns of excitation when amplitude is insufficient and flat-bottom: gain modulation 16/128 for the 6, 127/128 for rest ramp / flat-top / squeeze: gain modulation 64/128 for the 6, 127/128 for rest W.
