<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=windows-1252"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div><br></div><div>Hi All,</div><div><br></div><div> I have just pushed a set of changes to the DAQ library onto the “davidl” branch of sim-recon.</div><div>Because there are several changes that might break something, I’m holding off submitting a</div><div>pull request until some people have had a chance to test out the changes. Kei has already</div><div>volunteered to test this out, but if others wanted to have a look too, that would be swell.</div><div><br></div><div>These changes clean up the emulation configuration parameters and bring the configuration</div><div>options for f250 and f125 emulation into better alignment. The original motivation was to allow</div><div>emulation of mixed-mode data. In particular, the triplet polarimeter data was always taken</div><div>with mode 8, regardless of the mode of the other f250 modules. (Thanks Kei for pointing this out.)</div><div>Originally, emulation was done only if no mode 7 data existed for any channel. The default behavior</div><div>now is to check channel by channel and do emulation only for channels that have no mode 7 data.</div><div>In addition, there are now variables to force emulation to always happen or never happen.</div><div>I’ve tried to summarize the changes to configuration parameters below. </div><div><br></div><div>Please let me know if you have any questions.</div><div><br></div><div>-David</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><b>Config.
