<div dir="ltr">Dear colleagues,<div><br></div><div>We are working to obtain light yields for the first article fiber bundle that was produced for the tagger microscope some time back. We have run into a problem trying to interpret what we see coming from the FADC250 module that is installed in the data acquisition crate we are using for fiber QA tests. Please see the plots on the wiki page linked below that illustrate the problem we are seeing.</div>

The results from the FADC are much less distinguished, and disagree in the ratios of pulse heights. Comments or suggestions as to what we are doing wrong would be appreciated.</div>
