    keyword=BCM calibration using one calorimeter point

    I adjusted the coefficient so that BCM and MPS readout match at 200 nA,
    this give a factor of 3.81 so I think values on 1H00 were about 4 times
    smaller since I increased the gain.
    From the calorimeter run I estimated charge sent to be 
    
    Delta T / Heat capacity / beam energy
    
    root [8] 8.313/8568.6/2253
    (const double)4.30612585952742999e-07
    so 0.43 uC
    
    and this gave for 25.43 minutes an average current of 28.2 nA which is
    pretty close to the 25 nA requested, I will put the exact constant when
    the OPS EPICS screen gets updated since it should display
    (IBC1H00MAGA+IBC1H00MAGB)/2 but displays now
    CALC\{((A+B)/120)}(IBC1H00MAGA,IBC1H00MAGB)
    
    I updated the constant of the BCM screen using this 28 nA :
    
    root [0] 0.028/(1345-153.1)
    (const double)2.34919036831948975e-05
    root [1] 0.028/(1655-172)
    (const double)1.88806473364801066e-05

    New : IBC1H00CURA.C                  2.34919e-05 
    [adaq@adaql7 ~]$ caput IBC1H00CURB.C 1.88806473364801066e-05
    
    ..................................................................
    Old : IBC1H00CURB.C                  3.73413e-06 
    New : IBC1H00CURB.C                  1.88806e-05 
    
    so now IBC1H00BCMAVG is pretty consistant with the MCC value.
    
    I will get a more accurate calibration with a few additionnal calorimeter
    points, that would be nice to crosscheck with Faraday Cup when Hall B and
    Hall C have a downtime.
    
    Pengjia will do the analysis for the scalers from the calorimeter run.
