Hi Tyler,

Not yet unfortunately.  The target wasn't ready until late last night. 
Using Rack #1, we started running NMR around midnight and just finished
the first run a few minutes ago. As soon as I get the newest schedule
regarding the target, I will arrange to connect the Zurich Lock-In and let
you know.

I apologize this doesn't give you much time to try out the boxcar averager
with an actual target.

-Tom
