Hello,
as you know, given the nature of our epics/scaler readout, we need to
tag each event according to the beam/target spin state in order to an
accurate analysis. This is now implemented in the electronics, Coda and
reconstruction according to the following definitions:

_ We have 2+6 status bits: beam helicity (+-), target state defined
  (redundant) and the 6 |1>...|6> ABS injection states

_ They are read out from the beam left Cerenkov ADC (channels 56-63, see
  electronics map)

_ Presently only states 1-4 are in, states 5,6 for D2 will be added during
  the next installation phase (simply lack of pp space)

- To get this data from the event stream simply do raw.GetSHtgtdef,
  raw.GetSHbeamhel, raw.GetSHtgtstate1...6 in your macro

- Changes to TBLRaw and electronics.map have been submitted to CVS
