Setting up CAEN V767 TDC

Note that to perform timing with the leading edge of the input logic signals
you need to select `rising edge' timing.

The following procedure for changing CAEN V767 settings _reliably_ appears
to work:

1) Halt data acquisition

2) From MIDAS Main Menu window select VME Module Control -> CAEN V767

3) From CAEN V767 TDC Setup & Monitor window _de-select_ -> Act on ALL    
   Modules?

4) From CAEN V767 TDC Setup & Monitor window select the first TDC module
   whose setting you wish to change

5) From CAEN V767 TDC Setup & Monitor window select Expert -> Disable Auto Load

6) Change CAEN V767 module settings as required

7) From CAEN V767 TDC Setup & Monitor window select Expert -> Save User
Configuration

8) From CAEN V767 TDC Setup & Monitor window select Expert -> Enable Auto Load

9) Repeat steps 4-8 for any other CAEN V767 TDC modules whose settings you
   wish to change

10) From CAEN V767 TDC Setup & Monitor window select Save Setup

11) From MIDAS Data Acquisition Experiment Control window select Setup ->
    Setup Everything

12) If you reboot the VME PowerPC CPU do NOT forget to set the TDC(s) in
    common stop mode

    From MIDAS Data Acquisition Experiment Control window select Advanced ->
    Configuration/Test/Debug Frame and confirm the request.

    Settings should be:

    TDC Mode: Common Stop
    TDC Hit Option: all
    TDC Referemce: 0 (usually)
