Notes:
 
1] In order to look at tile #1, we have to re-cable (since we have only 60 ADC channels
but 64 odd-numbered tiles).  Therefore, for this configuration:
FEE02TT01 ---> ADC in slot 5 channel 2   (where FEE02TT31 normally goes)
FEE03TT01 ---> ADC in slot 9 channel 5   (where FEE03TT31 normally goes)
FEE04TT01 ---> ADC in slot 15 channel 8  (where FEE04TT31 normally goes)
FEE05TT01 ---> ADC in slot 22 channel 2  (where FEE03TT17 normally goes) <--- ATTENTION! Different!
 
2] CAMAC tripped *and* Rosi's mac froze.  Nevertheless, I sent the latest autosave
file to Joey (and Rosi I think).
 
3] For the first time, we are using a "virgin SiPM" (one not irradiated in run 2017)
on the even-tiles of a SS.

Vertical cosmic rays of EPD with SS14081516 and SS17181920 configurations

 SS14081516 configuration:

This is the fourth set of cosmic tests done.

SS08 = FEE02
SS15 = FEE03
SS16 = FEE04

2] Te-Chuan has been seeing essentially zero vertical cosmics for TT30,31.
This could be an index problem in his code (i.e. bug), but in principle
it could be caused by us not putting the trigger detectors all the way
under the largest tiles. (They are at the edge of the shelf, so we might
be "shy" to put the trigger detectors there.)  For odd_Configuration2,
