FC analysis using ADC channel current distribution

For each ADC channel:

[math]\displaystyle{  ADCSum^{channel}=\sum_{i=1}^{pulses}{ADC_{pulse}^{channel}} }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{  ADCErr^{channel}=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{pulses}{ADC_{pulse}^{channel}}}{pulses}} }[/math]

For distribution over all ADC channel:

[math]\displaystyle{  ADC^{avg}=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{16}{ADCSum^{channel}*i}}{\sum_{i=1}^{16}{ADC_{i}}} }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{  ADC^{err}=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{16}{ADCErr^{channel}*i}}{\sum_{i=1}^{16}{ADC_{i}}} }[/math]

FC analysis using pulse by pulse ADC channel mean value distribution

For each beam pulse:

[math]\displaystyle{  ADC^{avg}_{pulse}=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{16}{ADC_{i}*i}}{\sum_{i=1}^{16}{ADC_{i}}} }[/math]

For distribution over all beam pulses:

[math]\displaystyle{  ADC^{avg}=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{pulses}{ADC^{avg}_{pulse}}}{pulses} }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{  ADC^{err}={ \sqrt{\frac{1}{pulses}\sum_{i=1}^{pulses}{\left(ADC^{avg}_{pulse} - ADC^{avg}\right)^{2}}}} }[/math]

Here is:
1. ADC# = bridge#
2. Pulse# = ReadOut# = Entry# = Event#

Some examples of ADC mean value distribution. Here are:
1. x axis: ADC mean value for one pulse
2. y axis: number of pulse w/ that ADC mean value

Below is the plot of the charge in Faraday cup (pC) as a function of magnet current (vertical axis, A) (basically magnetic field) and ADC (horizontal axis).
