-  EMCAL DA for online calibration

   Contact: silvermy@ornl.gov
-  Run Type: PEDESTAL or PHYSICS or STANDALONE
-  DA Type: LDC (PEDESTAL), MON (PHYSICS or STANDALONE)
+  Run Type: PEDESTAL 
+  DA Type: LDC 
   Number of events needed: ~1000
+  Frequency: expect to run this once per day initially

   Input Files: argument list
-  Output Files: RESULT_FILE=EMCALCalibPedestal.root, to be exported to the DAQ FXS
-  fileId:  FILE_ID=EMCALCalibPedestal    
-  Trigger types used: CALIBRATION_EVENT (temporarily also PHYSICS_EVENT to start with)
+  Output Files: RESULT_FILE=EMCALPED.root, to be exported to the DAQ FXS
+  fileId:  FILE_ID=EMCALPED    
 
+  Trigger types used: at least for now, all events in special PEDESTAL run
+  (physics, calibration, systemSoftwareTrigger, detectorSoftwareTrigger)
+  [When we have real data files later, we may restrict this further]
