<div dir="ltr">Paul,<div><br></div><div>I think we need a separate run category for runs with the pair spectrometer trigger rather than the main detector trigger. Up until now Alex S. has been doing PS runs in a private area he set up, but that needs to change. We will need to have PS triggers integrated into the main data stream at some point, but there will be times when the primary purpose of a run is to study the beam spectrum, and in such cases we might want to block the main trigger and run just with the PS trigger. That should probably be in the pull-down list. There will be a similar run type for the total absorption counter providing the trigger as well. Then the beam current will be so low that the general-purpose trigger will be all cosmics, so it might also help in such a case to have a dedicated run type without the main trigger enabled.</div><div><br></div><div>-Richard Jones</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 21, 2015 at 1:25 PM, Paul Mattione <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pmatt@jlab.org" target="_blank">pmatt@jlab.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Thanks to everyone who responded.

This would be a drop-down list where users could specify whether the current run is a daq test, cosmic run, production run, etc. This will make it much easier to sift through the data later.<br>
