* Need to verify FLASH condition and scanning with TIFPA ahead of beam time
* First week of September assembling new fibre prototype in Bari - second week at UCL (?) to try and fit in QuARC enclosure
* DAQ laptop needed for NI software for fibre acquisition (dual booted laptop needed) - will need network switch close by. Ox - so more short cables needed and a power supply with usb socket needed to be sat near the box
* Three plug sockets (1 laptop , 1 fpga and 1 national instruments needed for fibres).
* Currently 2 power supplies needed for QuARC (or 1 if Pete Hastings makes power distribution in time)
* Away first 2 weeks of august.

* UCLH QuARC analysis
** Analysis of side b of quarc detector
** Looked at beam alignment - Prague issue not present
** Good energy measurement of pristine Bragg peaks - better agreement as moving towards lower energies (i.e. < 1 MeV for 225 MeV)
** Strange fitting for b side 150 meV
** Between 95 and 85 mev faulty pd means QB curve is strange shape
** Big shift at 80 mev between reconstructed and reference for some reason even though the pd isnt causing an issue
** Add a fit to the sum of the photodiodes from each side
** First few photodiodes of first board of side b seems to be very high but other photodiodes are in close agreement on both sides
** Shoot through back on module one producing strange shape
* Starting to test new rev f Oxford boards
** 3rd board very noisy
** All boards together and two that are separate
** 6th board does not acquire measurements
** P2b05 v noisy
** P2b06 does not acquire measurements
** 8 boards work and 4 don’t - successfully daisy chained 8 boards together
