 RunPlan:

 Some data for tzero (changed CCAL HV's) and FCAL and then chi-2 data at a 
 point above the peak,
 to be followed by point on the peak, point below the peak, a background point
 a point at the chi-1 and then decelerate to J/psi. How many points of the
 above depends on the stack size. Initially we would like 70 mA.

 Stacking had started well on Friday early afternoon and by saturday
 10 am there were about 40 mA. We agreed to stack till 8 pm. Unfortunately
 stacking did not go well during the day on Saturday because some cooling 
 device needed at higher stack currents broke (was broken). By 8 pm there
 were just over 51 mA.
 Deceleration seemed to go very well and by 10 pm we had cooled beam at the
 energy we had asked for, 51 mA decelerated to 3557.00, 1 MeV (CM) above the 
 chi-2 peak.
 
 Turned the system on and and many things looked fine. However 3 hours were 
 spent trying to resolve hangs in the PCOS system. We looked 
 for glitch or runt gates to the PCOS and could not see any. Eventually
 in an attempt to see which of the PCOS crates was the culprit, we found that 
 running with one crate alone worked reliably. We decided 
 to run this way and by moving 3 PCOS modules from the second crate, the
 Sci-fi is completely readout either by PCOS or by FERA. Details are in the
 log book.
 
 Run 740 was the first data run of the night and is 10**6 triggers of ETOT
 for tzeros and the FCAL calibration. Run 741 is the first charmonium run
 of the night. It has 61 nb-1. It died because...
 there is a new problem with the filter buffers and the dfm which 
 results in the filters being aborted. The only changes we can think of 
 are the updates to the operating system ("fixes") that were put in last week.

 At a lower level,
 H1 #8 is weak (TDC & trig~15% of typical, TDC value is 30 ns greater)
 H2 #32 is enthusiastic ((TDC appears ~ 2 typical, 2nd peak in TDC spectrum)
 Straws look bad: Straw 1 is very uneven- some time spectra seem fine, 
                  Straw 2 seems to be off. 
 (I don't know if we can trust the voltages on the instruction sheet.)

  
 The day shift will surely solve these problems. (Since this is sent out late
 because of some new quirk in my email, I believe I can say the buffer 
 problem was fixed; some (other) change had been made (to the number of
 events/buffer)..when this was undone, things went ok.)
