[dsg-hdice] Boxcar Averager Trial Dates

[thomaso at jlab.org]

Hi Tyler,

I will ask Ed if we can start Monday.  He mentioned in his last email 
that to start the trial "This will require a computer connected to the
instrument that I can gain remote control over through teamviewer to
activate the option."

I won't have access to a PC connected to the Lock-In amplifier until
Tuesday.  Tyler, would you have access to a PC Monday?  If so, would you
have time on Monday to have a virtual meeting with Ed so he can activate
the trial?

Thanks,
Tom
