Last Thursday (Sep 23, 2010) the LCI run has been collected for the first time after the failure of high energy ranges in the channel twr=4,lyr=2,col=4,face=0.

I've analysed the new LCI run and compared the results with previous LCI run collected on July 1, 2010. The comparison for the above mentioned channel before and after failure

is shown on the following plot:

Left 4 plots show the charge injection curves ADC vs DAC (pedestals are NOT subtracted) for 4 energy ranges (LEX8, LEX1, HEX8, HEX1) obtained from July LCI run, right 4 plots - the same curves obtained from September run. In July all four curves were linear until saturation, in September LEX8 and LEX1 curves are unchanged, while HEX8 and HEX1 curves show negative sign signal with ~50 times smaller amplitude. pedestals are unchanged and the ratio of HEX8/HEX1 (after pedestal subraction) is still correct (~9) - this confirms that track and hold stages work and the failure happened somewhere in preamp. The small signal we is probably the result of parasitic coupling between preamp input and output.
