FTPC Data Quality Assurance and Quality Control

   During data taking it is very important to monitor the quality of the data being taken. This should be done at least once a day and whenever the FTPC has been turned back on.

•   Online histograms - "Panitkin Plots"
•   FTPC Fast Offline QA histograms 
•   FTPC temperature readings - check if the FTPC temperature readings are in the Slow Control Archive. There should be readings for both Ftpc body (West 6 readings, East 6 readings) and Ftpc extra (West 6 readings, East 7 readings) temperatures. It is especially important to check these after the FEEs have been turned off; there is a non-negligible possibility that the body temperature readings for FTPC East do not come up again. If this is the case, call an expert.
