I have a comment about the switches for the large door panel and want to make sure that the HV interlock is designed to have a latch 'OFF' feature that requires a human to reset. I do not recall if the CAEN mainframe has a provision to latch fault conditions
but if not, then some external circuit must not allow HV to be enabled until after a human checks the system and presses a reset. Merely closing the door panel should not re-enable the HV.</div>

When you're at the point where we should check-in on the bleaching /<br>
calibration pulse functionality, please set up a Teams meeting<br>
with the usual suspects (basically the CC list above).<br>
<br>
It feels like we've got some momentum on this project -- I don't<br>
want to lose it :-)<br>
