Carl's Update

 * "Protochimney" complete. See link for details. Ready for mounting once current data runs in dark box are over.
 * MSDS sheets filed on the wiki.
 * Concern: how long before cured epoxy loses its properties? EJ-500 seems to have "working time" of 1 hour.

Igor's Update

 * Photon count/time resolution matters summarized in a new page.
 * Runs for "spectra of peak maxima" are finished.
 * Now getting the spectra as a function of windows (shifting 25ns windows through range of ~300ns)
 * Ready to proceed with testing fiber transmissions using the new chimney.
 * Primitive Ethernet Controller emulator and FPGA model (with minimum modules included of those built) are now talking via the Muxed Intel bus! Testing started step by step by manipulating artificial registers in the Eth. Ctrl. Functionality will be added to the emulator as necessary (e.g. dynamic receive buffer pointer relocation for packet parsing).

Matt's Update

 * Work done in writing scripts to gather run data.
 * Temperature steps don't match between nodes. Problem? Feature?
