1.4.1 Energy Discrimination

To allow the rejection of photons whose energies lie outside the desired range, a pair of adjustable energy discriminators (single channel analyzers, or SCA's) are provided for each channel of the BCS.

The history of the SCA settings are contained in file ``$DIR_BCS_LOGS/sca_log.dat''.
