17 May 2023, MEC can't turn on the quads due to COMM errors on the IOC.  The timing is down so the monitoring info isn't sent out.  Eventually got the fake evg going.

18 May 2023, MEC can't talk to a quad all of a sudden.  After burning a lot of time checking light levels and messing with their touchy fiber feedthrough couplers, we power-cycled the PGP server and it started working again.

5/19 - The rayonix computer in MFX has been having problems booting (as in...it would not boot).  The temporary fix was to go into the bios and set the date/time to the current time.  Apparently, the battery that keeps the clock going when the computer is off died.  Alex swapped out the coin battery, and the computer now boots.

15 Sep 2023 or so: MEC 10k small won't configure - IOC trips.  Dan finds that the matrix config has a lot of stripes and the IOC timeout of 5s is too short for the DAQ.  Also had to change HV_delta in the IOC for the small 10k to 3V from 2V to run.
