   - Once the PMT core and PMT shield is reinstalled, ensure the resistor is soldered back onto the post. This is very important otherwise it will not measure/count well! Add some silicone to it to protect it from shorting it with anything else   - Once the PMT core and PMT shield is reinstalled, ensure the resistor is soldered back onto the post.
