[Halld-cal] Approval of Bcal first article boards

[Christina Kourkoumeli]

Dear Elton,
Thank you very much for these good news!I should allso thank David and 
Tara for taking  the time to do the  measurements.
In order to be absolutely sure of the orders we are going to place,I 
would like to have a confirmation on Mr.Kappos e-mail of a few days 
ago,on which he place the connector in the middle and send a picture of 
the PB (as far I recall there was not only the question of the placement 
but also the connector itself 90 deg or not).Please answer this,then we 
get the offers and as soon the money arrives at CERN we place then and 
off we go!
                                                                                      Cheers,
                                                                                   Christine

This should not affect the conclusion that the devices are working as expected.  And these tests are at room temperature.

There was some question remaining on the JLab approval for board production. From what we have seen, all of the LEDs and SiPMs look to be firing. The LED signal amplitude is easily adjustable via the Vbias. Are there any additional tests you'd like to see done prior to production? If not, I think they are just waiting for word from you.
