              <ul>
                <li> Data was taken with beam off, sparsification turned
                  off (raw mode) using random triggers at 2 kHz. The
                  read-out window was set to 100 samples.</li>
                <li> Average pedestal values for each set of four
                  samples in the window (25 measurements per event per
                  channel) are histogrammed and the low side of the
                  pedestal peak is fit to a Gaussian. Then the total
                  integral of the distribution is compared to the area
                  under the Gaussian. The ratio of Gaussian area to
                  total area is plotted for four data-taking runs
                  spanning the PrimEx run period.</li>
                <li> There is a 5% decrease of the ratio over the course
                  of the run period.</li>
                <li> Beni proposes that we make these measurements a
                  standard part of all future running. Rupesh
                  volunteered to oversee the operation including data
                  analysis.</li>
