                                Week: 9

Tom Folkers:
     1. Spent the better part of two days getting the main control 
        computer up and running X using two display monitors.
     2. Spent one day on Mt. Graham investigating interface 
        requirements.
     3. Worked some on National Instruments Field-Point temperature 
        monitor for Jason.
     4. Copied 12 meter control system down from Kitt Peak and began 
        compiling the various programs.

Tom Sargent:
     1. Finished testing the Linux driver for the 48 bit parallel I/O 
        and then changed the driver to run the 96-bit version of the 
        card.  Did loop-back tests on all ports configured for both 
        input and output. Also did a multi-thread test with 3 
        different programs doing I/O to different bit fields without 
        disturbing each other.
     2. Produced a Linux driver for the DAC02 dual channel, 12 bit D/A 
        card and tested it.
     3. Produced a modified version of the DAC02 12 bit driver which 
        runs the 16 bit DAC02/16 interface.
     4. Found a Linux driver for the DAS1401 16-channel A to D 
        converter (from the Linux Lab Project) and made minor changes 
        to it to get it to compile.  I'm working on testing it now.

Pete Hubbard:
     1. Trip to SMT for Krupp rack interface connector wiring 
        verification. Found opto isolator resistor is 670 Ohms and 
        current is 32Ma.
     2. Found drawing in MPI 5312 folder that enables a complete from 
        and to wire list.
     3. Looked at AD660 DAC chip data sheet to find how wiring to 
        Krupp interface can be done.
     4. Comparing the difference between 2 MPI 6000 pre-amp boards.
