Hi Flemming, I am talking about TpcAvgPowerSupply table which has current, voltage, and accumulated charge.

Hi Yuri,

I see that the tpcAvg..table  have both current and voltages for each PS
channel.
BUT the Voltage doe not drop
to 0, the current does when the TPC has 100% dead time i.e no open
gating grid.
