Re: FADC progress



Hello Fred,

It is exact, one zero stayed in the keyboard. The expense is 
effectively about 10000 EUR.
I have money provided for that. The only thing was to be sure that we 
are going on the right track.
If one waits to test the 8 channels prototype, it sends us very late on 
November. Then the chance to be delivered by MAXIMS components before 
January becomes very weak.
On the other end, the two 2 channels prototype boards can be used to 
confirm the method for neutrons and the benefits for the TPC by looking 
at one or two TPC channels. Can this be done sooner? Before your 
departure?
Then I will wait before ordering the  ADCs
Best regards,
René
