Minutes of the Forward Endcap EMC Big Blue Button Meeting, 21st of February 2022, 14:00-15:15

FWEC Cabling:

• Vinee presented some ideas how to route cables at the positions where HV boards basically block the feed-throughs in the electronics ring (done at the Bonn backplane mockup using 3D printed electronics frame pieces)
• The installation was presented in sequences (Claudius as expert could not join the meeting and will review the procedure later on - in the meantime he did and has no objections)
• We decided on the need for test glueing for vertically and horizontally orientated electronics frame parts, respectively

DAQ:

• Dedicated DAQ meeting with Greg, Fritz-Herbert, and Lukas in three weeks
• The question arose whether to use SODA or not for the Forward Endcap test beam times at Juelich
• Aurora may be an alternative to SODA
• Do we necessarily need the possibility of SADC crate backplane read out or not?
• Do we generally need to give up the plan to have the Forward Endcap running as (close as) later on in PANDA at FAIR (from the DAQ point of view)?
