[esa-t474] beam DQ

[Woods, Michael B.]

Oh well, I should have remembered to query about that too and checked during the run.  I can get SCP sparsified time histories for these quantities every 2 hours during the run and could also request the database people to recover the unsparsified data for me to get time histories with 6-minute sampling.  mike

I feel a bit embarased.  The mccSetup.txt file which contains the three items you are referring to is nowhere to be found on esa-ilc2 computer.  In fact, another file which in addition has definitions for the 12 ADC channels is not on that computer also.  I have a dim memory of testing that file, presumably on esa-ilc2, but I am probably wrong on this.  Most likely explanation is that somehow I have overlooked installing the latest version of that file on esa-ilc2 and nobody caught my mistake until now. 
Sorry about that.

Zen

Hi Mike,

Hmm :s, I've grepped through every 50th raw ascii file we've taken looking for those 3 variables you mentioned at the end of the mccSetup.txt. However, I couldn't find any trace of them :(. Maybe something went wrong with the DAQ or that file didn't get copied to the right location or so for Zen's DAQ to pick it up ?

Jonny, Could you maybe find out from Luis what variable exactly he's cutting on in the datafiles ?? 

Cheers,
     bino

So should be there for the july data.  Indeed, looks like we don't have engye-; I'm not sure how to interpret the egain1e- values.  Will put on list to add for the next run.
