    keyword=DAQ mods (for the best, I hope)

    I normally dislike making DAQ changes during active running
    but these made an improvement.

    I restored "buf" to RightHrs config.

    Also created a RightUnbuff and pedrun config, the latter two are
    NOT tested yet because I don't want to interfere with data-taking.
    I will test them when I get a chance (I'm on Monday day shift or
    you can page me) but they will probably work.

    RightHrs is, however, tested.

    When I switched RightHrs to buf mode: deadtime dropped
    from 13% to 5%. This is at 1.5 kHz. If you turn on
    pedestal suppression on ROC8 this will probably increase
    to ~3 kHz.

    ROC8 is producing 2 kbyte events (huge !) because
    ped suppression is hard-coded to be off.
    pedsuppress=0; /* hardcoded for now*/

    Ellie wants to wait until consulting with Bryan before
    turning all this on.
