    Entry number 168074

    This entry is a followup to: 167988

    keyword=T8/auto-pedestals not working

    Rob pointed out that the correct keyword was 'nped' (not 'npeds', argh).

    HOWEVER, when I added nped=1000 to the prescale.dat file I saw the
    following (see run 3320)

    - the TS console recognized the keyword and reported that it was going to
    collect 1000 pedestal events (Good!)
    - CODA saw an event rate of < 1 Hz until I stopped it after a minute or
    so (and a 38 recorded events...) (Bad)
    - looking at the data in xcefdmp shows that the only events that were
    recorded were EPICS readouts... (Bad)
    - the end-of-run record posted to the halog does _not_ report the number
    of collected events correctly (Bad, or at minimum confusing)

    I strongly suggest that we don't use this mode until we understand it better.
