   - Before pumping the chamber down, make sure that the scintillator is properly connected. This can be done by biasing the detector and checking the signals, either from the scalers or with a scope. One should clearly see cosmic rays; if that is not the case, the phototubes are likely miss connected   - Before pumping the chamber down, make sure that the scintillator is properly connected.
