Crystal recon needs status bits to document failures, exceptional configurations, and exceptional status of the xtal energy and position reconstruction.  This work began with the July 2010 channel failure, but it has continued for Pass 8.  See ?Crystal Recon Design Description XtalRec for details.

- Recon needs to contain code to mitigate against electronic or optical failures in CAL.

See CAL July 2010 channel failure for a first example and its mitigation.    Note that this page is preserved for documentation only.  The Pass 8 definition and functionality of failure mitigation is defined in the ?Crystal Recon Design Description XtalRec page.

- I (Grove) have sent around a number of email messages about  ?CAL Data Monitoring. I've tried to collect them in confluence at [CAL Data Monitoring|CAL:CAL Data Monitoring] so they're more readily accessible in the future.
