We tested the control fiber several times and each time we got a significantly different result. Below we see a histogram of the control fiber whose test length was about 48 hours and a graph comparing the different tests of the control fiber.

We redesigned the "thermal finger" for holding the two different SiPMs. The designs are seen below.

|}As you can see from the graph, there is a large discrepancy between the different tests of the same fiber. This could be caused by several things, such as
**The fiber end pointing to the SiPM changes position to dramatically
**The fiber end facing the LED changes position significantly as to change the amount of photons able to transmit through the fiber.
**In changing the fiber, the SiPM could have been disturbed.
*Solution to Problems
We redesigned the "thermal finger" for holding the two different SiPMs. The designs are seen below. The purpose for this is so that the SiPMs can be changed out easily and that we can ensure that the device is in the same position every time.
