FSR bP clipping seen when on Bragg peak at 50pC FSR but must be FSR is properly setting fsr

Currently hardcoding for read back pattern to have first digit changed depending on FSR which is no ideal and could be causing issue - should look into this and speak to matt to make sire actual read back pattern is getting back

Two things to include: cut out events that don’t have good data in either direction I.e. either saturated or if signal is too low but challenge for this is noise pulses at 5 kHz

Plotting energies with only good values without saturation improves agreement

Ways to test source and type of noise

Something else I forgot

Level calibration- not working at pptc because background needs to be same number of boards live data? Live display will be of uncalibrated data

Testing of boards ahead UCLH beam test
