14. 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).

15. Status in September

16. 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.

17. CTP at Point 2 CTP present All LTC crates present TTCmi present
Remote access to LTC partitions available and being used.
