    keyword=Compton DAQ configs

    Here are the most useful Compton DAQ configs, the one at the top
    is the default for shift workers.

    1. FADC_Prod ... new production mode (*)
    2. FADCScaler ... what we used primarily in Fall 2009
    3. CompSimple ... FADC plus ETROC (new in Jan 2010).
    4. Production ... the "old" or "standard" DAQ, was used for ~10 yrs.

    There are several other configs too. I didn't delete anything
    from the database, but I did delete some from the list (Bob1, etc).

    Further notes

    (*) FADC_Prod is a copy of TestFADC. The latter remains in the list.
    We considered renaming it "Production" but figured this would cause
    more confusion than it's worth. Shift workers will naturally
    choose the top-most config, FADC_Prod.

    There was a strange file in $MSQL_HOME/compton_polarimeter
    with zero size:
    -rw-rw---- 1 compton compton 0 Jan 12 17:04 (null).def

    This prevented me from making an ASCII dump, so I deleted it.
    Now I have an ASCII dump/backup in ~/database. At some point
    we may consider cleaning up the database, but it's not conservative
    to try that during a run, so I'll do it only if there are problems.
