Pedestals per Time Bin
I repeated the study of pedestal vs time bin for a production quadrant. Pedestal_Plots.pdf shows examples of the pedestals. I used a gaussian fit with a range of 300 to 1000. The first two figures are showing channel number vs ADC for time bin 0 of two different APVs. They show "narrow" and "broad" regions so the next two figures are examples of what the pedestals look like in those regions respectively. The last figure shows the pedestal for channel 3 and this "double peak" has been observed in every APV I have looked at so far in time bins 1, 3, and 5. I plan on looking into these three different kinds of pedestals to see how common each type is.
The data used was a ped file taken around 10/10/2011.
**Something I noticed in the last three plots is that there is a spike at 0. I looked at the data file and noticed there are random blocks of data consisting of all zeros so I am not sure what happened in the data file here.
