   * Start a run without taking to disk and look in the S800 SpecTcl at the 2D  xy position spectrum of (s800.fp.crdc1.x,s800.fp.crdc1.tac). If it starts to look like the spectrum shown below (the screenshot corresponds to mask 2, mask 1 looks inverted, in the sense of the triangle of dots pointing downwards), start taking data to disk until it has about the quality of the screenshot shown. If only a small fraction of the S800 focal plane is illuminated (dispersion-matched optics), consult with the S800 group to sweep the beam across the focal plane by changing the Brho of segment 8. The figure below shows the SpecTcl spectrum of the mask "shadow" measured in CRDC2 during a reaction setting.

 At relatively high rates (~0.5 MHz), the OBJ scintillator will be gradually damaged. Experimenters should check the efficiency of this detector continuously during the course of the experiment. Whenever the rates drop below ~90%, they may request the Device/Beam Physicist to shim the detector.
-Before shimming, make sure that the thresholds are set properly (not too high).
