R1: 
Same as previous configuration? 
Negative signals.
No pulser
2048 window / 1000 pre-gate trigger
20 threshold / 44098 DC offset
3-alpha source

R2: 
Detector rotated. 
Negative signals
No pulser
2048 window / 1000 pre-gate trigger
20 threshold / 44098 DC offset
3-alpha source




R3: 
Detector rotated back. 
Positive signals.
2.5 Hz Pulser
1024 window / 700? pre-gate trigger
50 threshold / 48098 DC offset
3-alpha source


R4: 
Detector as before
Positive signals.
2.5 Hz Pulser
512 window / 600 pre-gate trigger
50 threshold / 48098 DC offset
3-alpha source

R5: 
Detector as before
Positive signals.
2.5 Hz Pulser
1024 window / 650 pre-gate trigger
50 threshold / 48098 DC offset
3-alpha source

R6:
As above. No alpha source.
Data acquisition stopped very early into the run. Lost contact with digitiser?


Upon re-establishing contact, signal digitisation looks extremely coarse in y.
Previously observed behaviour. Reasons unclear.
Calibrate ADC on V1730PSD panel seems to have fixed this. 
However, baseline/offset/threshold clearly changed based on data rate and signal.
Lowered threshold.

R7: 
Detector as before
Positive signals.
2.5 Hz Pulser
1024 window / 650 pre-gate trigger
40 threshold / 48098 DC offset
No source.
Data acquisition stopped very early into the run. Lost contact with digitiser again?

Did not reboot either PC or VME crate. Rebooted MIDAS only. Re-established contact. All looks good

R8:
As R7
Data acquisition stopped a few hours into the run. Same as before!

Did not reboot either PC or VME crate. Rebooted MIDAS only. Re-established contact. All looks good

R9:
As R7,R8
DAQ stopped again. Rebooted. OK. Issue needs to be understood.

R10
As above
DAQ did *not* crash!

R11
As above.

R12
As above, 208Bi source placed in chamber.
No obvious signal. Run stopped

R13
Pulser settings changed during optimisation.
Source location changed during optimisation.

Attempted to increase DC offset (->55098) and lower baseline (2400) to increase gain and make use of full
dynamic range.
Systems briefly triggers, contact with VME lost. Will need to reboot locally.
