Code looks to see if the sum of all the pixels in CAM0 MOD1 > CAM0 MOD0. And if that is the case check if (MOD1-MOD0)/MOD1 > .1 Once this condition is observered the comment: KCOR Modulation started in the proper state is sent to the log. And a flag is raised to stop checking. Based on testing and a few years of anecodatal data; we exect to see >15% different between MOD1 and MOD0 with the CALPOL in the beam. And > 50% when CALPOL+DIFFSER is in the beam. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey
