Talked with Jay briefly today. Apparently there are 3 IO chassis currently on the test stand at Downs and undergoing testing (or at least they were when Alex and Rolf were around). They are being tested to determine which slots refer to which ADC, among other things. Apparently the numbering scheme isn't as simple as 0 on the left, and going 1,2,3,4, etc. As Rolf and Alex are away this week, it is unlikely we'll get them before their return date.
Two other chassis (which apparently is one more than the last time I talked with Jay), are still missing cards for communicating between the computer and the IO chassis, although Gary thinks I may have taken them with me in a box. I've done a look of all the CDS stuff I know of here at the 40m and have not seen the cards. I'll be checking in with him tomorrow to figure out when (and if) I have the the cards needed. |
