When a Wave8/FIM is power cycled some constants needed to be loaded into registers that control the ADCs.  My understanding from Bruce is that these values are currently the same for all boxes.  Eventually, Bruce will load these constants automatically when the corresponding IOC is restarted (which is also required after a power cycle).  Until that is ready, we provide this workaround.  The ssh to the appropriate machine can be done by anyone in the "ps-drp-users" permissions group.  The current fim-expert members of this group are: jjoshi, dakovski, nakahara, paheim.  Note that there is a "<lane>" parameter which must be set correctly in the "python" line below to select the appropriate box, and if there are more than one datadev boards you need to specify which one:

• procmgr stop rix.cnf (on machine rix-daq, as user rixopr, shutdown the DAQ)
• ssh drp-neh-cmp007 (typically from machine psdev)
• cd ~cpo/git/wave8/software
• source /cds/group/pcds/dist/pds/rix/scripts/setup_env.sh
• python scripts/wave8DAQ.py --start_viewer 1 --l <lane> --dev /dev/datadev_0 --pollEn 1 --startupMode 1  (<lane> parameter is 4 (chemrix), 5 (mr4k2), or 7 (mr3k2))
• control-C (to exit)
