Software

Not discussed, Brent on vacation.

Sphere and 4K DWSMS

• Sphere update
  • No word or update from Wah Chang.

• DWSM progress?
  • Revisiting motor for pumps. Sampling condition would be very power inefficient. Should have a power budget and motor/pump nailed down in a week.
  • Doing torque testing of pump since most of power is lost in running friction for the LP pumps.
• Battery boxes?  IN
• Batteries oredered? Yes
