3. Run preparations
   1. Fcal Shift Information (Fcal)
      • This page is out of date. Jon will update it.
   2. Bcal environment
      • https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3461258 Log Entry 3461258] Bcal humidity is at about 14%. Need to watch it. Tim and Tom have been alerted.
   3. Fcal
      • Base communication issue. Fixed by cycling power remotely. There are also a few FADC channels that are bad and limited FADC spares. Will probably wait till the end of the run to replace electronics.
      • Matt: Asked about monitoring data, as failures may show up here. Occupancy plots may catch most of them. Adesh has not looked at it yet.
   4. Log Entry 3461536 Monitorng (Ahmed)
      • We have found that there are quadrant-dependent shifts (396 channels). We will renormalize to eliminate this as a source of shift.
      • New spring 2017 file has been created for the Log Entry plot. Previously we had been using a file generated for spring 2016.
      • Elton suggested that we take some pulsing data at a fixed voltage (to avoid systematics due to resetting to a specific value). Ahmed will check how many saturation/underflows exist in the present data samples.
      • Ahmed will run his script to plot the standard deviation over the first week of running. Also one needs to investigate outliers in the plots that were shown.
