With rix scientists.  Executive Executive summary of starting plan:  we we will run continuous sequences for all running (free running and scans).  At the start all the andors will run at the same rate at either 1,10,100Hz in some appropriate combination of FVB,crop,full-frame mode.

...

To view status of the 4 sequence engines (4 eventcodes per engine) execute "xpmpva DAQ:NEH:XPM:3" and select the "Groups/Eventcodes" tab:Image Removed.  The "Master" column is important: it says which XPM controls which event code (in units of an "engine": 4 event codes).  The "Ena" and "Dis" buttons (for the appropriate XPM!) can be used to change which XPM controls a particular engine.
