Use the order as a guideline in order to determine the relative priority of jobs.

Key for the "Task Status" column:

  • DONE (%Y%) means the task has been successfully completed
  • MOVED TO... (%M%) means the task has been completed and is awaiting integration tests
  • PICK (%S%) means the task has been completed and is awaiting sponsor tests
  • ALERT! (%X%) means the task will not be completed this cycle, but was expected to be completed
  • ok means that the task is not yet complete or ready for tests, but ALS has evaluated results & progress is clearly on track

Key for the "MR Status" column:

  • DONE (%Y%) means the MR has final sponsor sign-off
  • MOVED TO... (%M%) means the MR is awaiting final sponsor sign-off
  • PICK (%S%) means the MR is being implemented (has CCC approval)
  • ALERT! (%X%) means the MR needs CCC approval
  • REFACTOR (%P%) means the MR is either being written, checked, or needs initial sponsor approval
  • N/A means there is no MR for this task

1. Operational/User Support Items Completed During C7 2007

For each support item, please list the amount of effort involved as either: low, medium, or high. Guidelines for these rankings are as follows:

If multiple people are involved in an item, please list it only once. Effort estimates should reflect total time elapsed, i.e. how long did it take to fix the problem start to finish - not the sum total of each person's time.

2. Commitments

The default/unsorted state reflects priority order for this cycle.

PTCS Add DIO interface to Linux Holography Manager ModificationRequest12C507 RonGrider JoeBrandt, ToddHunter, JohnFord MR approved by CCC. Reviewing documentation for new interface card, designing calling sequence to new card, then will design corresponding software module. Researching changes required to host on RTAI rather than plain Linux platform. PICK  
PTCS Out-Of-Focus Holography Software Revival Get B Nikolic's OOF code running again on-site RonGrider ToddHunter Moved working codebase from ToddHunter laptop to PTCS group location. Successfully executed Stage 3 OOF processing on existing OOF data (TPTCSPNT_050317). N/A  
PTCS Improve GFM's and prepoint's processing of CCB peak/focus data. ModificationRequest2C707 RonGrider FrankGhigo GFM should gracefully handle CCB data; PrePoint should output fits at all CCB frequency bands.
Identified changes to be made in PrePoint supporting this MR as part of 01 Nov operational support task. 		REFACTOR  
PTCS Improve GFM's processing of peak/focus scans using the DCR with the KA-band receiver. ModificationRequest9C507 RonGrider FrankGhigo GFM should properly calibrate KA-band data taken with the DCR. REFACTOR  
PTCS Modify Peak Finding Algorithm for Pointing/Focus Code ModificationRequest4C207 RonGrider FrankGhigo, JoeBrandt FrankGhigo and ToddHunter have settled on GaussianFilter as preferred method. However, since this approach changes the resultant pointing offset values, deployment of the selected approach will be postponed until after the new pointing model is implemented this summer (ModificationRequest1C407).
Deployment on HOLD. 		PICK
