The HV in the BSMD is set such that the signal in the BSMD should saturate the ADCs for a 10GeV shower. It was a worry that the dynamic range would need to be extended for the W/Z analysis to provide enough e/h discrimination. In order to test this ADCs were saturated at 3 different levels in order to see its effect on the analysis {1000,500,200}. Overall it looks like saturation in the BSMD does not strongly affect the analysis.
There are three plots below for the three different ADC saturation values. Version 027 corresponds to 1000, 030 to 500 and 031 to 200.
