Quick VPT Test Rig meeting - minutes

Date of meeting: 2 June 2000

Present: PSF, BWK, ALL, CAXP, MS, JHW

 1.  Mechanics

• Backplate has arrived.  The machining appears to have succeeded, and the sidebars can be mounted vertically.  Should be possible to try out the stepper motor under LabView control early next week.

2.  LabView

• JHW has spent some time understanding the daq and control programs.
• Magnet cooling water is now back on, so magnet control application can be tested.  Need to monitor current to ensure it remains within sensible limits, as the magnet/power supply has given trouble in the past.

3.  CRISTAL

• BWK and Helen Heath to specify an outline measurement scheme and data format which will be programmed by J-M le Goff or R McClatchey - at present this programming cannot be done by users, but must be set up be experts.  It should be straighforward to modify the measurement scheme in the future.
