Addenda/Errata to Previous Minutes

---

S. Benson reported that the momentum spread in last weeks minutes for the boundries on the PARMELA solution was wrong - The value is not 160 keV, but 92 keV.

Items of Discussion

---

We discussed what analog signals were needed in the MCC control room to commission the machine. The agreed upon signals are:

   	
    	Analog Signals			New EPICS Apps
    	--------------------------------------------------------
    	fast BPM signals (5)		Viewers (Datacube)
    	Dump currents  (3)		Dump currents 
    	Spiricon camera signals (video)	Multi-slit emittance diag
    	BLM's  (4)			Happek diag
    	M5,6 signals (2)		M5,5 & M5,6 diag
    	Rf signals (12)			SLM Cameras
    	CSR (2)				CSR diag
    	FEL Power (1)			LVDT on Optical cavity
    	Beam scrapers (2)		FEL status signals
    	PSS & FEL console video (2)	Drive laser status
    	Ping; Monitor sys test (1)	MPS (?)
    	Four open/zone (16)		Thermocouple signals
   	-----------------------------
   Total lines		50

This total assumes some multiplexing in the rf and BLM system before they get to the AMS (not to be confused with the existing system).

We would like to have signals common to both buildings so that only one set of wires need to be put in the tunnel and ALL the operators can know what's going on at any given time.

We also want the following additional hardware:

  
  		XTerms		PC's
  ---------------------------------------
  FEL		4
  MCC		2		2
  Labs		6
  optics room	1
  drive laser			1

We also want (and Kevin had planned for) an A/D in the equipment room of the MCC patched to the control console with a preexisting signal name for those "if only I had ... in EPICS" signals.

The color inkjet and laser printer will move to the new FEL building to support the laser users.
