    keyword=Installed FLEX-IO module in Injector Crate

    Installed a FLEX-IO module in the HAPPEX Injector Crate.  This is a
    module that'll latch the helicity signals at the end of the integrate
    gate (instead of having them latched when they are readout... which
    COULD be within the next helicity window).
    
    This flex-io is a bit different than the one in the Counting House
    crate.  The input and output cards are in different locations.. this
    confused me at first, because there are two memory registers on the
    card for CSR and DATA.
    
    Looks like CSR1 takes care of the input card, regardless of it's
    physical location on the board... However, if the input card is in
    the top slot... it's data will be in the DATA1 registers.  If the
    input card is in the bottom slot, it's data will be in the DATA2
    registers.
    
    Now that I've got that straightened out, I'm taking a "long" run
    (2653) to verify that the Helicity that is readout in the Counting
    House and Injector crate are ALWAYS the same.  Once this is verified,
    we can safely remove the helicity signals from the Counting House
    crate and always read them out from the Injector Crate.  Doing this
    will render the following CODA configurations USELESS for production data 
    (will not contain helicity signals for HC event reconstruction):
    
         happex2_min        CountingHouse,LeftArm,RightArm
         CountHouse         CountingHouse
         Lumi               CountingHouse,RightArm
    
    The following CODA configurations WILL be useful:
    
         happex2            ALL Crates
         GDH                CountingHouse,Injector,RightArm
         Beamline           CountingHouse,Injector
         Injector           Injector
    
    My next halog entry will contain the results of the helicity signal
    synchronization check from run 2653.
