The shift reported getting very high deadtimes at
low rates. Investigating from home, I find that ROC2
VDCs are producing HUGE amounts of data. Typically
only 2 - 5 TDCs (out of 18) get read out, then it truncates
due to lack of memory. Result: high deadtime, huge
events, CODA crashes. This probably means the thresholds are
set too low or off. This has happened several times
in the past. Unfortunately the shift cannot access threshold
at present.
