Hi Tonko,

Just for my own education, I was able to get some non-zs events from the "non-adc" stream in the past runs.

And that will not be the case anymore?

For the "adc" stream, if I understand correctly, both zs and non-zs will be saved from that event in the "adc" stream.

Is that correct?

Best,

Xu

Hi Xu, all,

this is done -- from now on FST will use the STAR system default of ~1/100.
Note that the events with the ADC will be in the "adc" stream, as per Jeff's
setup (or so I hope).
