Jan exchanged the Mesytec CFD/shper since it could not be "remote controlled" anymore. The new one has different shaping times and delays.
It is noted the threshold range is rather small. 
With the new  shaper only the x100 signals could meaningfully discriminated etc.
After start of the ESR (magnets etc.) the signals of the 10x channels see quite some noise that makes it more difficult to adjust the thresholds for the low signals.

Distance e-cooler to particle detectors chamber:
“This is half of ESR plus distance target - detector. This even is on the web page”
54.28 m + 21.64 m

Cooling Time in SC7 increased from 9s to 12s

On the CAEN V1290N TDC the piggy board for the lower 8 channels is not fixed well to the motherboard.
That prevented to the whole DAQ2 to trigger correctly or even crash every once in a while. Long attempt sot find the error in hard and in software.

I fixed/reattached the piggy board, but be careful with the attached Lemo cables. They might loose the board again (it used to fixed with hot glue).

DAQ2 now also seem to run smoothly.
