    Calorimeter Run Procedure
    
    1. Call MCC and request a Calorimeter run for ___ uA.
      a) Tell them they _must_ call you back and ask you to start logging
         _before_ they deliver beam onto the calorimeter slug.
    
    2. When MCC should set up for the requested current then call you and ask
    that you start logging:
        a) Start the DVM logging (Hall A Main Menu: BCM: BCM Logging)
          - NOTE: The BCM run number will not increment until after you stop
    the logging.
        b) Start your CODA runs.  Change the run type in the Start-Run pop-up
    to "BCM Calibration".
    
    3. Watch the beam current monitor.  You should see it go from zero to the
       requested current.  The run should take roughly 5--10 minutes.  MCC
    should call
       when it's over.
    
    4. MCC will call and tell you it is over.  If the current goes to zero
    and MCC
      has not called after a few minutes, call them and confirm that the
    Calorimeter
      run was successful.  Then
        a) Stop the DVM logging and note the run number (ie: BcmLog_XXX )
        b) Stop the CODA runs and note the run numbers
    
    5. Make a HALOG entry titled 'Calorimeter run: XXX uA' that lists the files
      from 4(a) and 4(b).
    
    5. Continue with the regular program.
        a) change the run type back to "Production" (or whatever you're doing)
        b) do a raster++ check as soon as beam comes back
