    keyword=Swing Shift Summary

    Shift Workers:

    Ole Hansen (SL)
    Vladimir Nelyubin (TO)
    David Flay (3rd) (for Whitney Armstrong)

    Summary:

    Productive data taking for kinematics H on polarized 3He.
    DAQ problems around 18:40 due to /adaqfs/home full. CODA restarted
    and disk cleaned up. First few BB runs of the shift have unexpectedly
    high, fluctuating deadtime, which was fixed by a complete DAQ reboot
    including frontends. Encouraged, we decided to include the BigBite
    Cherenkov FADCs in the readout in later runs (1652 ff.) This
    increased the data rate from 10 MB/s to almost 12 MB/s, which we seem
    to be able to handle well in buffered mode.

    Runs: (all with pol 3He target, 15 uA current)
