Abstract

We study the azimuthal variation of the signal in selected tanks in the engineering array of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We fit a parametrization to the observed variations. We also note that the observation of the signal variations can be used to detect mistakes in the wireing from the PMTs to the control board.
