To-do List

Analysis List:

1. Modify decoder for the updated Mott_SemiInt mode. Started: /work/idaq/Mott/Analysis/1, Runs: 7642, 7672.
2. Update MottOnline
3. Add BPM Analysis
4. Replace "PEPPo" with "Mott" in scripts, decoder, ... .
5. Add delayed helicity analysis for Mott_Sample and Mott_SemiInt Modes. Delayed analysis is already included for Scalers and PEPPo_Int Modes.

Things to do to speed up the DAQ and reduce deadtime:

1. Upgrade the time-of-flight readout to the FADC TDC mode
2. Upgrade the scalers readout to the FADC Scaler mode
3. Add Block Readout
