We can certainly set up a comms test in EEL 108, but it will have to be after the first 2 extension cables have been fabricated (each terminal block requires 2 d-sub cables).</div>

Just as a heads up, we're looking into procuring some additional cable as we planned on making ~50 ft cables for 4 terminal blocks (10 cables including 2 spares).</div>

Because of the new terminal block for the crystal array thermocouples, we now need 12 cables including 2 spares.</div>

Plan going forward is to fabricate twelve 60 ft. cables (10 necessary for 5 terminal blocks - 2 cables each, and 2 spare cables) and connectors.</div>
