Used the raw samples to emulated the fa125's calculated values and compared them with the fa125 output.


Only looked at the first evio file so far.

Run events time amplitude pedestal integral overflow count
3293 16582555 1160 1942 3547 15609 1
3293 minus 2 bad fadcs 15914850 378 1877 288 12798 1
4623 10247801 0 98 0 3 0

Many of the problems in 3293 were due to hardware faults in roc28 slots 5&6.

12205 of the 15609 difference in integral were due to faulty assignment of the overflow bit. This has been fixed.

There were a few problems in the firmware which Cody described last week. Almost all fixed.


Pulse & Window raw data are separate objects in the evio eventloop, not linked yet. One out of sync pair causes the rest of the data for that trigger to be out of step.

Run 3923 had 7600 entries with pulse and WRD out of step due to 252 hiccups.

Run 4623 had 1317 entries with pulse and WRD out of step due to 33 hiccups.
