MFCTEST Status • Started accessing MFTC registers on last Friday; still there are problems to tackle. • Interrupts checked; problems with FIFO and FE interrupts. Reason understood? • MFTC’s HOTLink has started to work. Hope to have reframing and BIST today. • SCL yet to take off. • Started to check new MFC boards with MFCTEST. So far so good!
