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> <br> <br> On 2/21/2018 8:17 PM, Amrit Yegneswaran wrote:<br></div><blockquote cite="mid:2142448229.175033.1519262252595.JavaMail.zimbra@jlab.org"><div style="font-family: tahoma,new york,times,serif; font-size:
