Hi Eun-Joo,

I just saw something weird about the run period 10250 to 10424 for the 
TFW2 adc gaps (haven't checked the other parameters). We have some 
students working on calibrations at the NBI and they could not 
understand when calibrating ADC gains that they still saw the gaps in 
the ADC distributions (because they explicitly use SetUseGap(kTRUE) from 
the adc gain cal module).

I checked the DB. First, the web interface didn't report anything weird, 
calibration parameters are ok. But if I ran the adc gain cal module on 
some data and output the gap parameter values on the fly, they are all 
-1111.
I found that really odd but then, I think I understand it :

the person (maybe you) who committed the gap stuff for TFW2 used a begin 
and final run (bratmain CommitStuff -r <run> -f <run>).

I thought we agreed not to use this -f option. I can perfectly 
understand  Hiro's point about it (cf. the mail archive) ...
because if it turns out that if there is a validity stop to the cool 
revision you committed, the runs after this validity stop will pick up 
the older one (which we know is crap, it was all -1111).


But that's only my guess about the problem I see. So if you commit 
stuff, be sure not to specify any final run. If you don't do that, then 
I am confused about what the problem I saw can be.
