    keyword=Helicity

    Specifically, in that run there are approximately equal numbers of sequence 
    errors of two types: helicity on the first event of a pair doesn't match what's 
    expected from the RNG, or helicity on the second event of a pair is the same as 
    helicity on the first event.
    
    On the other hand, there are no errors like wrong value for pairsynch.  If 
    there were, this might suggest a problem with lost triggers.  Since we don't 
    see that, it looks more like an actual problem with the helicity signal -- 
    either it's getting corrupted somehow, or possibly the timing is bad.  I 
    suggest looking at its timing on a scope first, since that's easy.
