Status at Point 2 The CTP is now installed at Point 2, as are all the required detector partitions. The detector partitions are available for use by detectors 12 TTC partitions are connected at present. FMD, ACORDE, TPC, DAQ, TOF, MUON_TRK, SDD, SSD, TRD, SPD, HMPID, MUON_TRG Cosmic triggers from ACORDE now available. Fanin-fanout crate operational, used by SSD, DAQ, FMD, HMPID (CPV).

Status in September

Status at Point 2 From P. Vande Vyvre: DAQ Meeting October 2nd 2007 So far, only test of transmission of triggers via CTP was to use ACORDE to trigger DAQ DAG partition.
