    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.
