<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Amrit, <br>
<br>
We appreciate the help DSG provides in support of our solenoid PXI
system which is an important part of the solenoid, <br>
and I personally am very satisfied with the help Brian Eng
provides us with the solenoid and other controls components. <br>
We in Hall D assume that Brian Eng is the primary person
supporting the PXI DAQ for Hall D <br>
which requires being available for calls 24/7 during running if
there is a problem. That is a requirement <br>
for almost all of our components, especially for solenoid
considering its importance for the experiment. <br>
When we have a problem, we (myself, Tim Whitlatch, or Beni
Zihlmann) call that person in charge and not a large group <br>
of people for help, especially if it is at night or during
weekend. I am not sure what the content of the e-mail you are <br>
requesting should be as I may not have received any e-mail from
Patrizia since November of 2017. <br>
Please, let me know what information you would like me to provide
you regarding Brian's work. <br>
<br>
I just checked that Amanda, Pablo, and Tyler are already on the
list of invited people in the Zimbra for the bi-weekly slow
controls <br>
meetings in Hall D, and I just added Peter to the list (he was not
on it). I can confirm that we do hold meetings every other
Thursday, <br>
but sometimes we skip them if there are circumstances that make
the meeting impossible or ineffective. When <br>
that happens, I cancel that meeting on the JLAB calendar. For
instance, we should have one this Thursday, but we will skip <br>
it because of the GlueX collaboration meeting from February 22 to
February 24. <br>
<br>
I am not sure if I am the right person to make official requests
for help for manpower, but I know that we do need an <br>
National Instruments Labview expert to support our PXI, and, if
needed, based on our past experience we can estimate the amount <br>
of effort in terms of FTE that is roughly expected for this.
Again, my assumption is that there was an understanding reached a
couple of years <br>
ago that the primary person for PXI will be Brian Eng, that is he
is the person we contact when we need help with PXI. If Brian was
not or <br>
is not anymore the primary contact person in charge of Hall D
solenoid PXI, please let me, and more importantly Eugene, know so
that we <br>
find an acceptable solution.<br>
<br>
Best regards, <br>
Hovanes <br>

<div>hello hovanes,<br>
</div>
<div>i heard from brian that you requested him to work on
the PXI system a while ago, on a weekend.<br>
</div>
<div>I heard from patrizia that despite her e-mail to you,
elton, chudkov, (when she was in italy) to inform me, none
of you took the time to e-mail me.<br>
</div>
<div>this is unacceptable.<br>
</div>
<br>
<div>recently, i heard brian had a meeting regarding PXI
work.</div>
<div>i suggest that for such meetings you invite pete,
tyler, pablo, and amanda as well.<br>
</div>
<div>This is because as the group leader for the dsg, i want
all my staff, who support the hall d magnet, to be on the
same page.<br>
</div>
<div>also, i don't think its right that halld gets to pick
and choose people from dsg without my consent.<br>
</div>
<br>
<div>i was under the mistaken impression that you were
holding regular monthly slow controls meetings, apparently
i'm informed that this isn't the case anymore.<br>
</div>
<div>well be that as it may, i suggest that in future when
Hall d requires help from a dsg staff member, i be kept in
the loop.<br>
</div>
<div>i guess one would all this request, common courtesy.<br>
</div>
<div>amrit<br>
