- To begin with, stop the IOC. Run "telnet IOCHOST PORT" to connect to the IOC. If the connection message says "SHUT DOWN", great. Otherwise, hit ^T until you see the message "Toggled auto restart mode to OFF", and then hit ^X to kill the IOCimgr ioc-mec-streak-0${X} --disable" (with ${X} set to either "1" or "2") to stop it.
- Connect to the Visar PC by running "vncviewer PCHOST" on mec-daq. The password is "Mechutch".
- Stop the Visar applications so nothing is running.
- Start the Visar "RemoteEx" application. This screenshot shows what the application looks like once opened, and the red arrow points to the icon which opens it.

- Pull up the "Long pulse laser operation" screen, and make sure the "StrkCam" is enabled ("DIS" shows as the button option) and the trigger rate is non-zero. If it is zero, hit the "5 Hz" button to start generating triggers. (Remember to reset the mode after the IOC has been correctly started.)
- Make sure the visar is powered and turned on!!!
- Restart the IOC. Run "telnet IOCHOST PORT" to connect to the IOC, and hit ^X to start the IOCimgr ioc-mec-streak-0${X} --enable" (with ${X} set to either "1" or "2"). The full visar application should start on the PC.
- Once the IOC has completely started, pull up the edm screen by running "camViewer -m -c Streak_${X}" (with ${X} set to either "1" or "2").
- $(IOCPATH)/build/iocBoot/ioc-mec-streak-0$(X)/edm-ioc-mec-streak-0$(X).cmd, where IOCPATH is where the current version of the IOC is found, and X is either 1 or 2. Hit the acquire "Start" button on the edm screen. The PC should open an updating image display window and the image counter on the edm screen should start to increase. If this doesn't happen, see the trouble shooting guide below. (If the window does not open on the PC, check the synchronization options. If the window opens and the image updates but the counter doesn't change, check the scan mode and acquisition options.)

Generally speaking, the visar display should show a half-size image. While this won't fix anything if the IOC is malfunctioning, the same "Options" window has an "Images" setting that should be:
