Weekly status:

Include discussion of what you accomplished this week, who you contacted, what decisions were made, what obstacles were identified, how they are being addressed.

 

·        This week we completed the spring interim report.  There are still a couple of graphs missing from our preliminary results section.  However, we plan to work out the few bugs before we hand in the report.

 

·        This week we got one step closer to success than last week.  Last week we weren't able to get the COM block and the software to work together.  This week, however, we accomplished this goal.  We got the computer to see the COM block, to run the software, and to produce graphs.  We also figured out how to change the center frequency, the frequency range, and the duration of testing.  The only problem is the results that we are getting.  The graphs that come up are solid blue.  There's something wrong somewhere and we're trying to figure out what.

 

 

·        Tomorrow we will be meeting with Nilay to show him exactly what we’re doing and to see if he can give us some suggestions on what it is that we are doing incorrectly.

 

·        Hopefully, by tomorrow we'll be able to get some meaningful preliminary results.  If not, the interim report will not include any graphs. 

 

 

·        After we obtain our first set of good results, we want to move to different areas to see the difference in the spectrum use.
