[Halld-offline] Translation Tables

[zihlmann]

Hi All,

I am sorry to report that I screwed up again.
When looking more carefully  at the signal cable connections from the 
splitter,
and turning on my brain, I discovered that it was not a problem of the 
signals
going to the discriminator (and TDC) but rather then signals going into the
flash ADC with maximal confusion, most likely caused by the fact that one
of those cables has no label.
I corrected that but want to make sure once beam is back that I did 
really do
it correctly this time. (lets hope for the best)

But, because of that I have to redo the calibration I did all over again 
because
the channel numbering scheme relies on the ADCs begin labeled correctly.
So I guess it will take me till Monday to have that done.

Justin, I will send you a new xml file for both 2023 and 2025 run 
periods once
I verified everything.

sorry about that,
Beni
