Summary of the day:
Small improvements were made throughout the day but by far the biggest change to the rate in the FEEs came from disabling the waveforms
This was done by setting ADC con

Initial jumper configuration:
FEE LK
1   2 4
2   1 2 4
3   2 3 4
4   2 4
5   2 4
6   1 2 4
7   2 3 4
8   1 2 4

13:22 LK2, 3 and 4 on all p+n - attachment 1

14:20 AC mains relay connected to AC voltage stabilisers + on separate mains socket from DESPEC - attachment 2
      Same configuration but waveforms disabled (p+n improvment) - attachment 3
      Layout 1 - attachment 4

14:32 all FEE power cables moved to PSU 2 (Lower one in rack, upper one was slow to start for 1 FEE pair, likely the 5V slow to start)
      Previously all FEEs on their own pair within  a psu
      New order 1,3 2,4 5,7 6,8
      Waveforms on - all bad - attachment 5
      Waveforms off - all p+n better - attachment 6

14:54 interlock removed from AC mains relay
      Also noticed adaptor board on 2 not in fully -> Now in
      p+n generally better - attachment 7
      Without waveforms - p+n better again - attachment 8

16:04 Platform moved into position
      Interlock power cable removed from extension lead
      w/ waveform - p+n slightly worse
      w/o waveform - p+n same as beffore

16:14 LK3 removed from 1 and 5
      w/ waveform -> p+n slightly worse - attachment 9
      w/o waveform -> p+n best yet - attachment 10

16:33 LK1 wasn't on all n+n was only on 2, 6 and 8
      Removed from 6 -> only one LK1 per DSSD
      w/ waveforms - all bad - attachment 11
      w/o waveforms - no change - attachment 12

16:59 LK1 removed from 2->4 This is the FEE with the BIAS braid
      w/ waveform p+n better - attachment 13
      w/0 waveform p+n better, n+n worse? - attachment 14

17:21 Bias filters added to n+n
      w/ waveform - no change - attachment 15
      w/o wwaveofrm - P=n worse - attachment 16
      Stats 0x21 - attachment 17
      Stats 0x14 - attachment 18
      Stats 0x12 - attachment 19

17:42 Bias filter removed and bias floated (LK1 removed)
      w/ waveform all worse - attachment 20
      w/o waveform -> p+n worse, n+n similar

18:29 LK1 back on 4+8
      w/ waveform -> poor
      w/0 waveform - recovered previous - attachment 20

18:32 LK 2 and 4 removed from 2 +6
      Also noticed ground lemo on aida02 not fully inserted which has been corrected
      w/ waveform poor - attachment 21
      Threshold 0xF - attachment 22
      w/o waveform - attachment 23
