BCal group, I agree with George that this is important for SiPM setup. In the tagger microscope preamp, we have designed it to be bank-switchable between two gain settings: high-gain mode (single pe peaks resolvable) and low-gain mode, for regular operation. The dynamic range of the ADC is simply not sufficient to cover both of these ranges and still keep the overflows to a low rate. The two settings have different requirements, eg. we only require ultimate timing on the low-gain mode, and can live with slower signals in high-gain mode for setup. -Richard J.
