Rutherford rate is reduced from previous entries. Avergae peak height appears to be ~50 counts. Fluctuations in peak height and E4 pressure are quite high. Temperature has been cycled, nozzle position has been optimised and different temperatures have been trialled however density cannot be maintained at a decent level.

There appear to be issues with Shahab's caenlogging program. It crashes occasionally, with an error indicating the number of columns in the terminal is incorrect. We will have to ask Shahab.

For now

1. Start the caen_screen.sh script on nnrp1 (aka CARMEMotorsPi -  why was it renamed? It should stay as CARMEMotorsPi to avoid duplicate names).

This starts connect to the caen power module via TTY inside a screen called caenhv. Currently on desktop 1

2. On nnrpi1, start the caenlogging program --settings caenlogger_settings_gsi.toml

3. On carme-gsi, in ~/Programs/caenlogger start the gnuplot script

If the caenlogger script crashes, restart it on the second terminal

More investigations required on the crash.
