    keyword=auto BANU fixed now, I think

    Because of the rearrangement of scalers before DVCS and that I forgot
    to update the BANU script, it was looking at the accepted-trigger counts
    for a helicity scaler.  This would actually be ok for the purpose of 
    BANU, except that sometimes the helicity scalers stop counting (a 
    separate problem).
    
    Just now I've repointed the calculation to the ungated scaler to find out 
    if the DAQ is in use.  This should fix the automated BANU numbers.  
    
    Now we have to fix the helicity problems.  I think I'm supposed to go in
    today and look on a scope.  It's a known problem that for 5% of the time
    (with tails up to 60% in a given run) the helicity in this part of 
    the electronics makes no sense, hence the helicity-gated scaler stops
    counting -- which affected this auto BANU calc.
