Detector Data¶

Using this as a dumping ground for runs that, on the other detectors, would be added to the Manual Bad Runs list. We don't really have a mechanism in place yet for excluding certain runs, but the following should not be used for anything, including calibration.

Detector Run	Reason to exclude
100490	Warm run for FEB firmware tests
100491	Warm run for FEB firmware tests
100492	Warm run for FEB firmware tests
100498	Warm run for FEB firmware tests
100499	Warm run for FEB firmware tests
100697	FEB firmware tests
100698	FEB firmware tests
