    keyword=No mystery -- BPM data in our files is basically noise for I_beam < 0.5 uA

    Bob M. clued me in:

    The BPMs do not work (in a meaningful way) below 0.5 uA. Our DAQ records whatever is there, but those signals do not mean much until the beam current reaches 0.5 uA or so.

    EPICS has a noise floor and will just report zero if the signal is below a certain threshold.

    So there you go.
