1. Data saving. The data saving is fine when we use a prism mode, it sometimes lose frames, but it won't crash. However when we use prism mode, it crashes randomly. We figured out the reason is that the socket that RTscheduel uses to send data frames to spooler sometimes is overwhelmed, it isn't able to send all the data frames, and also it won't send "END" command to let spooler know the file should be closed. Ettore mentioned that there is a parameter called POOLSIZE in RTschedule.h we should play with, I haven't had time to try that out. Fabien has also added real time signature on header to synchronize MIRC and CHAMP. We took some data, but haven't analyzed.

2. Fiber problem. Beam 5 is very likely to have some problem. the intensity is about half of that of the rest beams. And the fringes of beam45 and beam56 are curved, meaning there is some dispersion problem.
