    Shift Summary:
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    1. 
    The machine had low luminosity for deutrons. Most of the time while beam the blue luminosity was below 18e11. At times the background was low, down below 20k/s in the H1 and H2 scalers. There were, however, sudden changes in the background when MCR was steering, sending the H1 and H2 scalers up to 150 and 200k/s. In summary, overall better background level but not stable.
    
    2.
    Run 7350 - 117k trigger 6
    Run 7351 -  39k trigger 6 (aborted by IOserver error, incomplete in database)
    Run 7352 - 0.1k trigger 6
    
    At this point we are at 167k trigger 6 with FS @ 1/4 A-pol and MRS @ 3kG A-pol.
    
    Run 7353 - pedestal run
    Run 7354 - TPC pedestal run
    Run 7355 - DVM run
    
    3.
    During a significant increase in background the DAQ reported IO Server error. Also cathode 3 on T5 tripped, but came up again without a problem.
    
    Top channels 1, 3, 5 and 7 on H2 have been geetting higher and higher actual voltage the past shifts, while the demand voltage has been kept constant at -1600V. Passing -1800V I turned demand voltage down to -1400V, which put actual voltage around -1600V.
    
    Also, the H2 problem reported during the Saturday night shift has returned for unknown reason. This is a problem that shows up in the time average distribution.
