The new firmware has a few fixes
- the most important one is that it will now emit the digitized pulse data for cases where the firmware 'pulse identification' fails due to pile-up in the pedelstal samples. ** This update should make it straight forward to understand what is happening in this type of anomalous event, and recover the pulse ADC information during analysis.
- This has been enabled in the ROCs by adding the line 'faSetRoguePTWFallBack(FA_SLOT,0xffff);' in Download() and Prestart().

- Fixes include solving a periodic shift in the timing information reported by the FADCs
- Correcting a problem running in 'buffered' mode (bufferlevel>1) that could occur at high rates.
- Prior F250 firmware was 0xC0D https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3565702

Updating to '0xC01'

F250 Firmware updated to 0x908
There was a lot of back and forth with the FE group in 2016 finding and squashing firmware and library bugs...
