    Hello.  As I said before, why do we need adcStart values?  Since the gap 
    only happens because of the switching between 12 bits and 15 bits, for 
    all Fastbus 1882F Adc(???) , they  are around 3900 (+100 or -400 or so). 
     If you set adcStart as 4300 ch or so for any channels, it would work 
    just fine.  (And typical gap size are 1850ch. As a result, the 15 bits 
    setting start around 5750.)  Therefore, we are keeping useless values in 
    database.  I suppose  we can keep adcStart since our database is small 
    and it is already seted-up that way.
