20140415	OAA	MA, GOX, LB	BCU Logic updated to 11.71 (fixed). DSP Logic updated to 8.46
20140415	OAA	LB	Installed on LgswRack2 and configured as SxBcu
20140505	OAA	TM	Removed HVC board 0008 (channel 0 broken) and shipped to MPE
20140516	OAA	MB	Installed HVC board 10 received from MPE
20140703	OAA	MB, GOX	NIOS 5.09.0046 installed to fix param selector issue.
20141022	OAA	MB	Temporarly swapped HVC board 010 with 008 on DSP02 to check output voltages. After test HVC 010 is reinstalled.
20150515	OAA	MB, LB	Power supply voltage raised from 3.31V to 3.48V
20150527	OAA	MB	Swapped HVC board 0007 with 0010 to check for setup failures
20150605	OAA	MB	Installed HVC board 0003 on DSP2, HVC board 0007 will be shipped to MicrogateSrl
20160313	LBT	GOX, JZ	Power supply voltage raised from 3.44V to 3.49V
20160513	LBT	TM, MB	Removed from LgswRack2
20160514	LBT	JZ, MB	Power supply voltage trimmed to 3.65V. HVC installed in DSP4. Installed in LgswRack2.
20160525	LBT	GR, LB	Removed from LgswRack2. Ready to be shipped to MicrogateSrl
201608xx	MIC	MA	Modification on the minicrate power supply to improve the long term stability of the output voltage. With the modification the voltage level on the boards is now very stable and, considering the adopted solution, we assure this stability over long time. (As from MA email of 7/9/2015)
20160925	MPE	SR	Received from MicrogateSrl and shipped to LBT
20161005	LBT	GR	Received from MPE and stored at LBTLevel3L in a gray aluminum box
20161012	LBT	MB, WG	Installed on LgswRack2

Know issues

This unit historically had issues with ethernet communication and HVC configuration.

When	What
20130617	several ETH failures, board dismounted, screws tightened and reassembled...
20140501	(LB/AP) the HVC board 0008 has the first channel broken after testing the transfer function with time history
20150304	ThingsThatIDontUnderstand0002 happened 5 times in a row...
20150528	After swapping HVC boards 0010 and 0007 the error ThingsThatIDontUnderstand0002 follows board 0007, see LB email to Mario
20160513	In the last 2 days it continued to hung after 2-5min of CL operation (mainly w/ PyrWfs as TTS). Removed from LgswRack2, HVC moved to BcuNumber2
