1. Various • I’ve been learning how to use Vidyo (EVO replacement) • Some (slightly contradictory) instructions here… • https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMSPublic/VidyoInstructions and http://information-technology.web.cern.ch/services/fe/vidyo • The most painful parts are dealing with the Tandberg and muting people • I will make “easy” instructions and run them by Misha for the CSC meeting tomorrow… • We can try this meeting soon, if there is interest? • 25ns scrubbing that had been planned for Thur-Sun is postponed • They cannot inject enough to make it happen • My impression: there needs to be a breakthrough or there will be ~no 25ns this year… • Need to go sit with folks working on ME1/1 electronics • Request “… either sit with us and explain them or update the source code to properly handle the new DCFEBs and TMB?” • I think I’ll sit with them tomorrow… • Need to flesh out idea to make the efficiency numbers more useful • Presently have “Delivered,” “Recorded,” and “Golden” • I think it is easy to quantify hardware problems and time spent commissioning • May be tough because people like to blame people for problems, not quantify them G.

2. To do • Run Coordination • Work on “Golden” certification + documentation of hardware downtimes • Talk at October Upgrade/CMS week by Run Coordination • Follow up database check • Follow up HCAL reconfiguration after clock changes • Rework shift leader training • Make shift summary Elog template for shift leader • CSC • Check ALCT slow control firmware at 904… then at p5 on chamber with strange ADC values • Finish documentation of CSC timing • https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMS/CSCsynchronizationDocuments • Put firmware into SVN • RAT firmware loading • As well… • Make neutron skims G.
