    • Action Item : John will continue to investigate pathologies in scattering plots
      • John is looking into this but no result at this meeting
    • Action Item : Pierrick/Mark - ensure that the pressure and material in the absorber volumes are recorded
      • A pull-down list on run control will let the shifters define the absorber to be used in each run
      • pressure sensors are available and will be read out into CDB
    • Action Item : Steve to talk to Alan Stevens about stopping 4-hourly monitoring but leaving the alarm in place
      • Alan replied and is quite happy to stop the 4 hourly checks, but keep the alarm in the ISIS CR

    • Tracker patch panel leak work and schedule
      • (Long long discussion, summarised as)
      • There are three areas where He leaks from the tracker : the Hall probe connectors, the patch panel and the diffuser.
      • Leaks from the connectors and patch panel will be dealt with this week
      • Repair of diffuser leak is more involved and requires expert effort from Oxford. We need quantitative estimates of the
      • leak rate to judge how important this is.
      • Tenatively plan diffuser leak repair in the day of the 28th Feb - 3rd Mar.
    • Controls and Monitoring : Network reconfiguration and testing
      • Pierrick is rebuilding all the IOCs. We will finish this week so will be able test by 16th.
