To-do List

1- Fix the TID front panel
2- Refurbish the Delay Boxes
3- Fix evio with file size > 2 GB. Now decoder is limited to 900k events.
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.
6- Update MottOnline
7- Add BPM Analysis
8- Add Block Readout
9- At one time, we used minicom to hard reboot the Mott DAQ VME crate. This service was discontinued. Instead, we will use the RS232
connection on the CAEN VME64X VME8200.
10- Upgrade opsmdaq0.
11- Now we have "opsmdaq0" and "iocmdaq1". It would be a good idea to match names.
12- Standardize "msql" on opsmdaq0.
13- Upgrade from MVME6100/VxWorks to Intel/Linux CPU.
