Minutes from the 04/20/05 LCLS SLC IOC meeting:

(1) Diagnostics:

    Diane and Debbie have added diagnostics EPICS PVs.  They have set up the
    software so that to add a new diagnostic, one item is added to a table in 
    the proper device support table, a line is added to a database template 
    file, and the SLC-IOC diagnostics EDM display updated.  Note that 
    LCLS EDM standards do not exist yet so the display is for testing only.

    Both Diane and Debbie have been updating their design documents.

(2) RTEMS Testing:

    Debbie did a regression test of the basic services on RTEMS and
    found no problems.  Thanks to Doug for helping her get set up.
    The database downloaded OK, no data conversion issues,
    messages were passed correctly, stop/restart worked.  No further RTEMS
    testing will be done until the next big release (probably Ron MacKenzie's
    cstr/async release).  The only open item is for Stephanie -
    need an NFS mount point to access the database primary.map file (part
    of database download).

(3) BPM Service:

    Diane and Debbie are gathering BPM requirements.  They are talking to
    SLC control system people and getting an education on the SCP interface.
    They also plan to talk to Till and Patrick.
    Tony has warned them that new BPM types normally require changes to 
    the SCP panels and SCP/micro messages so he thinks that any new LCLS BPM
    types (ie, cavity BPMs) will require changes to the SLC control system.
    Diane and Debbie need to concentrate on getting the existing interface
    requirements down first - changes due to LCLS-unique requirements need
    to be written down but should be kept separately and implemented 
    by a separate group with a different focus.

    They are also developing a list of functions that will NOT be implemented
    like private calibrations and fast-feedback style dithering.  Kristi
    recommends a look at:
    http://www-ssrl.slac.stanford.edu/lcls/prd/1.1-304-r0.pdf

    Diane is also starting to look at BPM micro job code and the structure of 
    the messages passed per function codes of interest.    

    The functional requirements review will be in 3 weeks after a discussion
    with Patrick.  Note that the existing function requirements document will 
    be reorganized to be general and basic services requirements only.  The
    BPM and magnet requirements will be in separate documents.

(4) Magnet Service:

    Kristi is currently busy with PS work including R3.14.6 RTEMS/mv5500 
    system that PCD can use on their test stand, PS EDM displays, and PS
    web page information.  Also, she is meeting with others, getting rack 
    information, etc.  Not a lot of progress on the func reqts in the last
    few weeks.  Stephanie to help.
