[esa-t474] ESA activities in Jan/Feb 2008

[Woods, Michael B.]

Hi, this will just be for bpm3 and bpm5 since bpm4 is already on an acceptable mover (it needs the larger range than the fftb movers can supply since it's at mid-chicane too).  We currently plan to implement similar cableplant connected to scp as for the wakefield box (uses the same type of mover).  No need I think to do anything special regarding t474 daq/control; we'll be able to run a scp macro asynchronous with the daq and use the dac/2249a to monitor the moves similar to what's done currently for the wakefield box and 3bpm4.  mike

hi Alex,

we're planning to mount BPM3-5 onto FFTB-style movers.
It would be great if you/bino could help integrate these into the T474 DAQ/control system, especially for use in the calibration procedure.
The SCP software already exists, but needs to be integrated into T474.

regards,
Johnny
