    keyword=EDTM Setup for LHRS and RHRS

    The EDTM modules have been setup for the left and right HRS for the 
    electronic deadtime measurement.  Both arms have one EDTM module as a
    master.  This was done by setting
    
    int master_arm = EDTM_EITHER;
    
    int master_slotL = LEFT_SLOT1;  
    int master_slotR = RIGHT_SLOT2;
    
    in the header file: edtm.h
    
    We then rerouted the cabling so that both S1 and S2m would have EDTM
    pulses to create either a T1 or a T3 on the right or left arms, 
    respectively.  The delays between the S1 and S2m EDTM pulses were 
    adjusted in the edtmsetup file with
    
    DRIGHT_S2M=50
    DLEFT_S2M=60
    
    This sets DELAY1 and DELAY2 appropriately for the left and right arms
    respectively.  With these delays, the S2M EDTM pulse comes about 30 ns
    after the S1 EDTM pulse, which is very close to the real trigger timing.
    
    We do have one problem; we see double pulsing from S1 with the EDTM
     pulse.  This double pulsing is not seen from the EDTM modules
    themselves, but after the signal passes through the LeCroy 4413 
    discriminators.  The analog output going to the ADCs also does not show
    a double pulse.  However, it is seen in the ECL output signal.
