  Speakers: Cameron Dean (LANL), Zhaozhong Shi (Los Alamos National Laboratory), Ming Liu (Los Alamos), Yuan Mei (LBNL), Yasser Corrales Morales (LANL), Joachim Schambach (Oak Ridge National Laboratory)
  FELIX Testing
  
  Currently testing board 4 of 8
  
  Running iBERT now
  
  Takes < 3h per test
  
  Includes shutdown and removal of the previous board, initial flashes, and reboots
  
  We see consistent failures when testing the FELIX buffer
  
  I got in contact with test developers at CERN and they requested more information
  
  We also see an error about the SMBus
  
  "ERROR: No riser card SMBus found!"
  
  Could finish tests tomorrow (or Monday morning)
  
  Results are all uploaded here https://bnlbox.sdcc.bnl.gov/index.php/f/26168545
  
  Stave Testing
  
  Began testing MVTX staves yesterday
  
  Currently on stave 4 of 9
  
  Aim to finish tests tomorrow (or Monday morning)
  
  All staves tested are still silver and results mostly match LBL test results
  
  One stave had a test go from silver to gold at BNL (Digital scan BB, 0V, -10%)
- 13:50 → 14:00
  Cable, Racks, Crates, Power System 10m
  
  Minutes
  - cables, racks, crates updates
  - power system (CAEN) updates
  - power board, breakout board updates
  - fanout board updates
  - fiber routing
  Speakers: Ho San Ko, Ming Liu (Los Alamos), Cameron Dean (LANL), Joachim Schambach (Oak Ridge National Laboratory), Yuan Mei (LBNL)
  5 long detector cables (2E1 to PP3) arrived @ LBL
  
  Expect 5 more to be sent to LBL
  
  Trying to speed up the manufacturing process
  
  Start the epoxy application to the PCB and Fischer connectors for the short detector cables (PP3-PP2)
  
  applying epoxy so that we can put a strain relief without constraints
  
  Can apply the epoxy to ~ 5 cables at a time for curing
  
  Power cables for 2E3-2E1 produced
  
  Still needs
  
  PT100, CANBUS, RB (from 2E3 to 2E1), Sense
