## DEVELOPMENT STATUS

- After discussions with Martin, the shell-based control option **hvcontrol_HBD** has been worked out and extended for all our HV needs:
- Functions as *init, quick_init, standby, operating, disable, set_tripcurrent*, etc. are made easily available for users on va022 (hvserver needs to be running!)
- So far, one would have to change all config data in the perl script manually... Not any more! The new script loads at every start-up the new data from **hvdb**, one central database every GUI client uses
- Documentation on how to use it at **/hv_stuff/hvcontrol_HBD** coming soon!
- Major VA Server Update Completed Successfully!
- Global HV parameters update every 5sec in one-time transmission, triggered by the client!
- Software-based Trip-Behavior Function added to HV Control
- Based on monitoring measured (peak) current changes in 5sec update frame

## DEVELOPMENT STATUS

- VA racks have been moved and reconnected to network
- Due to complaints from RCF about gateway activities due to telnet usage of the HV Control, communication has been changed to SSH.
- New communication setup still in testing & improving...
- Quick Intro to **Control Protect****TM**
- Server Malfunction  NOT Loosing Control over Detector!

## RELAY BOARD RACK IN IR

- All Relay Board issues have been completely resolved!
- In order to protect the VERY sensitive L1471Ns, customized 1U Aluminum boxes were built and placed in our own rack
- Setup successfully tested without any trips up to 4kV!
- The Relay Board Rack will be installed up to the bridge in IR (2nd Level)
