Entry  Tue Feb 25 15:49:58 2020, ruijiu chen, DAQ, changing scaling factor. 
How to change scaling factor?
The parameters is in f_user.c file:
1. open the f_user.C with emacs :
R4L-47 litv-exp > emacs -nw f_user.c
2. change the parameters "MWPC_downscale". 
#define MWPC_downscale 0    // reduction = 2**MWPC_downscale                  
3.compile the program.
4. restart mbs.                                                                                                                                                               
Entry  Mon Mar 30 14:48:02 2020, ruijiu and Tino, Detectors, The leakcurrent of SiPad is over the setting limit. Screenshot_20200330-145551.jpgScreenshot_20200330-145544.jpgIMG_20200330_144915.jpg
Because the 
leakcurrent of 
6 Sipads is 
over the 
setting limit, 
the alarm of 
HV module is 
sounding.
Ruijiu 
increase the 
limit to 1500 
uA.
Entry  Mon Mar 30 15:03:58 2020, ruijiu Tino, Yuri, Lasoro, Nik and Uli, Detectors, the gas bottle is empty. IMG_20200330_152735_mh1585575780057.jpg
The gas bottle was empty. Tino replaced 
the previous old bottle with 50 bar gas left. 

Yuri is getting new gas bottles.

Yuri got a new gas bottle. We repalced 
the the new gas bottle. There is 200 
bar gas left now. 
The old gas bottle with 50 bar gas 
left was kept inside ESR.
The empty gas bottle was removed from 
ESR.  

The outlet volve was decreased by 30 degree.
Since the value is almost 0, we can not read the value of outlet volve.
Entry  Sat Mar 28 15:07:40 2020, ruijiu, DAQ, start run  
 
Entry  Sat Mar 28 15:19:23 2020, ruijiu, , start run e121_run_0236.lmd 
store 206Pb81+ beam inside ESR and measure its halflife. 
The HV of detector is off.
Start DAQ to record the ESR current in lmd file.
Nik is optimizing the gas jet target. So this file is still test run.

the problem is 
due to  mbs. 
restart mbs. 
see an error. 
restart again.
