Subject: New Kapton cable tests at DL 

Powered on system ok.

Electrical connection between crate and mezzanines still persists, but only to the top cool plate (no connection to the bottom or sides), eith resistance ~5-10 ohms

Seems to have no effect on performance though as without the kaptons connected, still see pulser widths of ~14ch at t_shape = 8us.

Connecting cables reinstates double peaking in n-side.

Without HV or detector connected, nnaida13+14 gibe single Gaussian peaks of width ~45ch, with  almost perfect waveforms.

         - Patrick saw this too, I'm not going crazy, but on zeroing histograms (didn't change a single other thing) it went back to having double peaks again.

Replaced nnaida13 shielded kapton with unshielded one to see if that is causing this effect

         - still see double peaking but width of tallest peak is down by ~25% (likely just due to capacitance)

With shielding on, do see much noisier waveforms however.

         - note: attachments 1 and 2 were taken using exactly the same threshold of 512. When shielded, bumping this up to 1000 still made little difference and 'actual' traces were only caught ~25% of the time

Changed firmware to V8.

No difference in performance.
