[Halld-cal] Hot BCAL channels

Hello.
I was trying to look into the effects of a few of the BCAL TDC scalars
giving much higher event rates (up to 20x higher) than the average [see
https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3327357]. The initial idea was to check
out things like the pedestal and pulse integrals for these channels to
confirm that we see something like this increased rate in the ADCs as
well.
I looked at a run from the day after the logbook entry was posted
(Run002649) first. Looking through the pedestal histograms for each
channel, I don't see the three 'hot' channels in terms of number of
pedestal events.
I also looked at the DAQTreeBCAL plugin output to look at the number of
events recorded for each channel by BCALDigiHit. Again, I don't see any
high-event channels. We were going to look at the pulse integral
distributions to see if they showed something interesting, and we also
wanted to look at the raw waveforms from some Mode 8 data.
Is there a plugin somewhere that I could grab that would allow us to
look at the waveforms easily? As in, is there an easy way to visually
inspect waveforms for specific channels?
Thanks.
