Entry  16 Jul 2019 03:53, Marco Rescigno, Routine, General, run 774, scintillation events triggering on all 24 channels and 200 us window PileupEvent.png
Majority of 8, threshold at 1000 ADC count, 24 channels enabled (16 trigger signals)  10 Hz, 200 us window, trigger at 9.5 microseconds.

10 k events recorded.

By direct inspection pileup seems at the 10 % level in the 200 us window.

Entry  16 Jul 2019 02:39, Marco Rescigno, Routine, General, run 771, scintillation events triggering on ch11 and ch12 of board0 
Trigger setup with a threshold of 1500 ADC count wrt to baseline, on just two channels.

This is also to limit the trigger to 50 Hz, since the busy still did not work.

100 K events on disk.

Entry  11 Jul 2019 15:52, Thomas, Routine, Trigger, invert first chronobox busy signal 
The DAQ seems to be ready for tests with proto-0 tomorrow.  

I had to invert the first busy input in order to get chronobox to produce triggers.  I modified the setup script
