[Halld-controls] Hall D controls meeting on June 28, 2018

[Brian Eng]

We tried to do the ADC calibration this afternoon, but apparently the DAQmx software (which is used to read the ADC channels) doesn't like having multiple versions installed.

We had errors on multiple controllers trying to deploy the calibration code from multiple computers.

Upgrading the controller to the latest version of LabVIEW installed seems to have fixed the errors when deploying the code, we'll try calibrating the ADC modules again tomorrow morning.
