not Gaussian shaped peaks, after previous investigations with the scope, the scope is disconnected.

Just to mention, in order to improve deadtime the other two Xray dets are disconnected.

--------------------

update at 05.04.2020: the cables were probably twisted between the 90 and the 145 angle detectors. However, the id of the detector doesnt change, since there were no simultanious measurements (one source used with one detector a detector at a time)
