    Owl shift summary: Miha Mihovilovic (SL), Diancheng Wang (TO)
    ===================================================================

    EVENTS

    23:55 We have noticed that Compton Coda was not counting events
    and that the Heart beat and the Photon counting rate were
    also not changing. We discovered that the ROC1 and ROC2
    crashed. We rebooted coda and started new run #16767. Now
    Compton seems to be working properly again. Because of
    these problems is run #16766 JUNK!

    00:00 The shift has begun quietly. We are taking production
    data with 10uA beam on polarized 3He target
    (current polarization is 61.3 %)

    00:40 Started a new Happex run #31309

    02:10 Started new Compton Run #16768

    04:10 Started a new Compton Run #16769

    00:40 Started a new Happex run #31310

    06:10 Started a new Compton Run #16770

    06:30 At we had some problems with the DAQ. The Dead time for
    the left arm was 100% and the LEFT Coda wasn't counting.
    We have killed both codas. We have checked if ROCs are
    alive. They were. The only problem that we encountered was
    with TS0. The connection with it was lost. The message was
    saying that the connection was closed by a foreign host. We
    were trying to connect back to it but our connection was
    REFUSED. In spite of that, we started both codas again.
    While we were configuring the left arm, the error messages
    in the status windows start to appear that ROC9 and ROC10
    did not report status form more than N seconds. When we
    opened the ROC windows again in order to reboot them, we
    realized, that they are already rebooting. Therefore we
    waited until this process finished, and in the end checked
    if ROCs respond. Then we restarted left Coda again and
    started new runs: #1756 and #20662. Now everything looks
    normal again. The dead times are 6% and 12% and rates are
    700 and 500 events/s

    These problems appeared just after we started runs #1755
    and #20661,therefore are these two runs JUNK!
