pedestal runs





Dear Collaborators,

as already discussed with Tullio, a series of steps is being taken with regard 
to the task of optimizing the  amount of time devoted to the so  called 
"pedestal runs".
The possibility  of choosing the time interval between ped. runs from the 
FRC  has already been implemented  by Stefano Piano who will make the final 
tests in the following couple of days. The optimization of the (automatic) 
time interval will be performed at the same time.

Similarly, the choice of starting a ped. run manually (with a proper 
parallel handling of the automatic procedure) will be implemented.
This will allow the person on shift to take advantage of the periods 
of lower luminosity to perform a pedestal run with the minimum efficiency 
loss in the data taking. 

Other steps towards minimizing the impact of the pedestal runs are being 
undertaken (e.g. better syncronization of the isim and osim p. runs) as 
well  as a further refinement of the algorithms.

This program will presumably be completed by Stefano before Monday 
shut-down.
We'll let you know asap.

Paolo
