it incoperates the following improvements over the prievous version.

  • HE gain setting is set to maximum energy range, raising single xtal saturation level.
  • ULD values for all ranges and HEX1 saturation level are set to very close to 4095. The previous values were lower in an effort to avoid problems caused by channels w/ higher pedestals which is not an issue in ideal mode
  • LAC threshold was raised to 1.3 MeV which is closer to the mean LAC threshold used for flight crystals
  • pedestal noise levels are lower to better reflect the true behavior of the flight front-ends
  • some values were rounded a bit just to make things simpler.increase of noise & LAC thresholds to better approximate real flight expectations
