> ls -al (...)

if command reports nothing, then file system is currupted and computer needs restarting:
> /cds/group/pcds/admin/ipmicreds/psipmi power reset

> kcuSim -Scat /proc/datadev_1
Check locLinkRdylink up
If not lockedin locked in then check XPMs, fibers and transceivers

(Opal and Piranha do not use kcuSim or kcuStatus, only HSD and timing (To Be Verified))

Stop any other running instance of DAQ using same platform number

Open devGui directly on the node:
    
> cd cameralink-gateway

check cameralink version:
must be v8.2.3 (as for 2024-06-03)
If not, 
    > git pull --rebase
    > git checkout v8.2.3
    > git submodules update 

> cd cameralink-gateway/software
> python scripts/devGui --pgp4 0 --laneConfig 0=Piranha4 --pcieBoardType Kcu1500 --enLclsII 1 --enableConfig 0 --startupMode 1 --enVcMask 0

Replace detector name with: Piranha4 or Opal1000
(remove --enVcMask 0 if you want to talk to the FEB, this allows to run the DAQ at the same time)
Also remember that:
