NB hits with repeated pairs are not necessarily an error, it was just simpler to exclude all of them.

runs 10954 and 10956 time errors

Most of the discrepancies for run 10965 come from 6 channels where the firmware time = 1 + emulated time, they are not noise events.

After looking at more data (145.8M hits)

• No errors found in q or overflows
• 11 pedestal errors which are all 1 bit: firmware pedestal = 1 + emulated pedestal
• 18 integral errors, all are 1 bit, firmware integral = 2 + emulated integral
• 2662 amplitude errors, all firmware > emulated, most errors are value 2 or 16, NO errors in channels 0-5
• 5240 time errors, 4237 errors with emulated time = 1 + firmware time and amplitude=511;

remaining 1003 time errors have firmware time > emulated time
