I'm not sure how much statistics we'll need... Nota bene, as of this writing we have yet to see FHE fire at the PS testbeam! The above settings files went in for only run 770, taken with 5 GeV electrons this afternoon, and no CAL HI triggers were recorded. Other urgencies have precluded our making progress on this...
Update 07/29 (JB) : Last night we investigated and found a feature of the end2endBT script, which consequence is that the GCFE config_1 register is overwritten using the content of the lates_trg_FMxxx.xml files. The registers were set so as to disable CAL_HI. We updated the lates_trg_FMxxx.xml to 0x7 (mandatory value to enable CAL_HI and CAL_LO) and were able to see the CAL_HI firefing as expected. A run was done with the CU at 90deg to have high energy deposit and we could check that the CAL_HI trigger request fall nicely within the trigger windows (see that nigh shift confluence page). The conclusion is that from run 700000820 the CAL_HI trigger is enabled and should fire asap.
