    This entry is a followup to: 165795

    keyword=helicity errors rare.

    Well, I do NOT see "lots" of helicity warnings in run 2773.
    Instead I see two, one near event 70K and one near 180K, and
    the reconstructed helicity is shown in fig 1.

    I claim this is a typical result if you analyze the data correctly
    as explained in halog 165128.

    It is true that there is a low rate of helicity errors where the
    QRT "appears" to jump in time. The present hypothesis is these are
    due to missing bits in a clock, and Richard Holmes is working
    feverishly to make use of the redundant time info to reduce to zero
    the incidence of these inconsistencies (there is apparently no
    problem with QRT signals in hardware, according to scaler DAQ and
    according to HAPPEX DAQ). In any case, there are not "lots" of
    errors.
