    keyword=lumi data insertion

    The Lumi data is inserted as event type 110. This is working but
    is still being fine-tuned by Joe Katich. The modifications to the
    DAQ scripts were as follows:

    1. getruninfo_bgr -- launches the loop that inserts Lumi data every
    N seconds (typically N=4). The event type is 110 (a unique type).
    2. last_scaler -- calls for last reading of Lumi (as well as scalers)
    3. end_clean -- kills the lumi script and cleans up.

    In some sense you can think of the Lumi as being "like a scaler",
    in that it is integrated data, inserted the same way as a BCM from
    scalers. Joe now has a simple, fast standalone analysis code to
    read the datafile, decode it and make histograms/ntuples. Eventually
    this will need to be embedded into Podd, but we're waiting for the
    next version of Podd to be able to do that.
