Hi Truls,

I have a bit of experinece here, since I strugled to fix the 62 gev pp data set for tfw2.
Some observation from my notes.  (for 62 gev pp)


many scripts  seems to have been run in general blindly, and then committing to DB w/o checks is
I think the main reason.

Tfw2 pedestal:
  Many channels were re-gained by accepteing 'wide' pedestal width. This is allowbale for tfw2 where the tubes have large gains,
thus the wide pedestal does not matter. Up to width ~20 (25) was accepted. Only tube 5 and 8 should be really out.

Tfw2 ADC gains.
  The scripts have ranges for tubes with allowed tubes gains. Some of these were very off. I went through all
adc to find and set the correct range. w/o this you also use channels.


slat 30-32:
  memory lapse - yes there was a problem, and I fixed it; but do not rember if it was in the datamaps for online or a later stages.
I wouldn't worry though. In general I found there are too many dead slats below 40 in any case.


On the cucu-62. This sounds bad with no slats above 60. How could this have happened?
Someone else is the 200 geV cucu ok?

On the 45 deg auau. What is the field settings? If high I would think the proj hit distribution should split, due to the longer 
distance.
How does the single match distribution look on the tfw2? This may be a multiple hit issue
