Meeting Notes for 29 Aug 2012

Common

• Major poster bug: Only odd figures are showing!
• MikeW investigating replacements for VDS (e.g. Elastic Search)

Cosmic

• TomJ tested an updated Split.pl against known-funky test files
• Detector near Seattle uses a LabView interface which produces slightly malformed data - what to do?
  • Throw it out
• Event counts are different in the post-blessing world
  • Old: Number of times channel participated in a trigger
  • Current: Number of times channel fired in an interval - independent of trigger
  • Time estimation based on filesize?
  • Use trigger count instead? But old pre-blessing files do not have that information
  • Revert to old style? But what about current data?

LIGO

CMS

• Exercises were crashing at the Buffalo workshop
  • z→ee failed in Safari and other tested browsers
