    keyword=Re: L-HRS: T3 double pulse issue is because of EDTM signal

    The cause of the double pulse appears to be isolated the S1 EDTM module.  
    The second set of outputs 3 and 4 appear to be the cause of the pulse.  At
    least when these are removed from the trigger, T3 no longer double pulses.
    With Brad, we found that there was about a 15-20 mV DC offset from the 
    output of the module.  It's not clear how to adjust this offset without
    further investigation.
    
    The S1 discriminator threshold was set to -40 mV.  The pulse from these 
    channels appears to have a small second pulse about 30-40 mV in amplitude.
    As a stop gap measure, Brad suggested increasing the threshold to see if 
    the second pulse would vanish.  We found that increasing the threshold to
    -41 mV removes the double pulse.  To avoid being close to the edge of the
    threshold, we made the S1 discriminator threshold to be -45 mV.
    
    We should investigate this further to eliminate the problem, but the 
    coincidence timing is more important at this point.
