Beam polarization values and spin pattern used were determined using cdev files. The spin pattern was matched to the raw bx7. (avgAsymXS / analyzingPowerS) was used to determine the beam polarization.

Only used 1 hit per event. Hit defined as intersection sector from the max adc vertical and max adc horizontal slat.

East φ=0 gives zero value because it uses vertical channel 4 and it wasn't working.
