    Dear All,
    We have been looking a bit at the TPCs, and have found some odd 
    behaviour.  According to the DetectorParameters.txt file, T2 should only
    have rows 1,2 5,6 9,10 15,16 instrumented.  We made (well, Peter made it,
    but I looked at it!) a plot of the number of sequences in each pad (summed
    over roughly 15K events, from run 2535, requiring trigger 6) The number
    of sequences is shown in the eps file by the color (the more red, the more 
    counts) and is displayed in a 2d 'pad map' of T2.  One notes that there 
    are a few noisy blocks of 16 pads, as well as some that do not show up.
    The most concerning is that there seems to be card placed on rows 13 and 
    14, which disagrees with the info we have (i.e. DetectorParameters.txt)
    This brings us to the question, which can be answered (presumably) by 
    a visual inspection of T2: which pads and rows are instrumented?
    If there is no card reading out pads 80-96 on rows 13 and 14, does this 
    imply a problem with the unpacking of the data, or with the original pad
    map?  Or another (set of) problems altogether?
    
    Cheers,
    Peter and Ian.
