    keyword=DAQ problem (fixed)

    The HAPPEX DAQ stopped running because the R-HRS had no MPS.
    Symptom is high deadtime, very low rate, and garbage data.

    This turned out to be because of a bad chan 9 of the NIM/ECL
    in CAMAC crate 1 slot 17. I moved to another NIM/ECL unit.
    I also found the MPS cabling to be very messy and confusing.
    A NIM/ECL was used as a fanout. Several copies went nowhere
    (possible reflection). I've tried to clean this up but it may
    need more cleanup. I think PVDIS is still getting it's copy.

    Ran the 4 popular DAQ configs (1st 4 in list) and called it a night.

    I didn't get to do the data distribution change because of this
    problem. Maybe another day.
