Tom Folkers:
     1. Installed the latest release of RT-Linux-3.1 in the DBE and 
        reran my tests to confirm the stability of the internal system 
        clock. I'm happy to report that every thing looks good. I am 
        getting timing resolutions in the range of ±150µsecs.
     2. Produced drawings for the DBE counter and timing boards and 
        gave them to Pete.
     3. Spent rest of time working on the pending move to the 
        basement.

Tom Sargent:
     1. Verified that the ellipse fitter in the DSP tracker program is 
        working.
     2. Got floating point conversion routines working that convert 
        floating print numbers from the DSP format to the IEEE format 
        used by Linux. This allows sending floating point data from 
        the DSP to the Linux host.
     3. Verified the rest of the commands from the Linux host to the 
        DSP chip. 
     4. Made sure that the DSP program will periodically transmit 
        something even if the flow of  data from the encoders stops.  
     5. Started trying to read the Traquair A/D units using their demo 
        program.  No success yet.

Pete Hubbard:
     1. Build DBE system timer interface board.
     2. Mounted MPI 6000 amplifier board in card cage.
     3. Started board layout for VCO multiplexer chassis.

Dave Ashby:
     1. No Report.
