Follow up on action items and new action items

  1. FNAL: Tested bunch of new HPK rods in SR. Two out of six have broken or shorted
    termistor. Strange because Lenny says that these are chcked on rod frame.
    Possibilities: bad check on rod frame, or bad connection through flat cable, or bad DCU on hybrid.
    Check module fast-test
    Probe with multimeter
    Modules in question are on rods.
    Old measurements OK. Will look when the modules come off rods.

  2. FNAL: some bad DCU voltrages on SR, but not on MR. Needs fix.
    Not clear. Wim committed fix.
    Check env, then PIA reset. Ryan to double-check
  3. UCSB to test rod with bad DCU reading from FNAL

FNAL

Still some error 68, see this entry. Sent rod with DCU errors to UCSB for check.

UCSB

Replaced o-rings on flowmeters: looked like they were disintegrating.
Catalog said: made of vitan, vitan bad for C6F14, (should use buna, for example).
