'''Joe Bateman''', '''Febian''', '''Andreas Korn (via Teams)''', ''''Raffaella Radogna (via Teams)''', ''Simon Jolly'''

=== [[ELogs/RaffaellaRadogna|RaffaellaRadogna] ===

* In touch with INFN in regards to new project on PMBT detectors/dosimetry - potential to include QuADProBe and adapting detector layout for SFRT?

=== [[ELogs/JoeBateman|Joe Bateman]] ===
* Completed first steps of setting up NI USB-6366 by writing VI setting different frequencies out of different pins and verifying with scope - however limited to 1 MHz using USB-6366 alone.
* For next steps when attempting to communicate with S17825's - will need to use a zibo or nexus FPGA with Febian and Raffy's help (by modifying firmware from analogue photodiode arrays) to generate clock pulse for MCLK (14 - 32 MHz).
* Simon will draft out initial points for UCL I&E Knowledge Exchange grant and then send over.
* New DDC232 have arrived - so need to test with Febian.

=== [[ELogs/Febian|Febian]] ===

* Installed apache etc onto Kria
* Maybe receiving some firmware from Andy on readback pattern for kria, but can look at doing with testing signals initially.

=== [[ELogs/SimonJolly|Simon Jolly]] ===

* Sorting out QuARC patent IP with UCLB etc
* Preparations for two internal UCL grants (I&E Knowledge Exchange and early-stage commercialisation grants) as well as STFC UKRI proof-of-concept grant.
