Re: [BLAST_ANAWARE] timing, trigger bug and tdc offsets

With good statistics (>10**6 events) we can probably track global changes
in the timing. Changes for different TOF's would be more tricky but again
possible with adequate statistics.

I can write a little macro which would do this but it really does need
large statistics. Basically the 10**6 events are divided by the 10**3
wires so its ~3000 events per sense wire. These events have to correspond
to real tracks of course. Not noise.

If there are large blocks of runs which would have one set of timing and/or
delays then the you can run this and compare to another large block of runs
where you think the timing and/or delays may have changed.
