5.18.09

The last couple days have been a frustrating string of delays in gathering the components I need to install the SLM. At the moment, I'm trying to get longer cables to connect the DAC board to my PC, since the supplied cables are retardedly short. The exact type of cable isn't specified in the thin manual that I have for it, and it doesn't help that there are a million nearly identical types of scsi connectors. So after scouring the net for images of obscure 20 year old cables, I finally emailed the manufacturer. Hopefully they'll get back to me tomorrow and will be willing to spill the info. Ahh the joys of experimental research.

In the mean time I'm continuing to review some controls material, particularly adaptive filtering and digital control. I was happy to find out that my adviser is pretty interested in trying these Laguerre lattice filters, but I have a ways to go in my review before I get to that level.
