Lanny brought up some issue that has been seen occasionally in the inner sector when RDOs have been masked out.
It was brought up recently for run's 038034, and previous runs 028025 and a couple of subsequent runs
The issue was that there seem to be hits recorded even though the RDO was masked out. Sector 2-4 and Sector 20-3

There should not be any cluster data in these. I analyzed several of these raw data files and reviwed the JEVPplots. 
None of these runs have any ADC counts for pad-row 2D plots. It does not depend wheter the daq file was from beginning or later in the run.

A clue to the puzzle was to be found in the sequence of runs from Saturday.

It looks that once the itpc is rebooted in run control the issue is solved and both ADC and cluster plots are empty as they should
be. Confirmed by checking runs before and after reboot

I will recommend that whenever a RDO (in itpc) is masked out that itpc is rebooted too.
The 'fake' hits are in the data files, and may be put on tracks

Looking at 038025 with ADCs and cluster I see no raw adc counts
but cluster charge at a low level. It apears through the run
