    keyword=adc gains wrong AGAIN

    
    Once again we have an adc gain wrong, this time for BCM2.  Luckily we haven't 
    taken any data like this (the reboot was right before the Moller measurement, 
    and we are just now getting back on line).  Not only would the BMC raw signal 
    and pedestal noise be different for data taken in this configuration, but the 
    pedestal would also not match other data... This kind of noise in the equipment 
    parameters will make analysis a nightmare.
    
    One topic to be discussed at tomorrow's meeting is how we manage changing of 
    channels, and setting configuration parameters.  The "double-click in 
    greenmonster after every reboot" concept has to die a sudden death, and be 
    replaced by something robust.
