- Start chiller: 18 Celsius
- Switch on power supply: 8V constant --> check 2.0 A
- Switch on NI crate and TLU 

1. Start sensors

- Remote access to NI crate: 
-- Open Terminal 
-- source access_NI_crate.sh
-- Login: telescope PWD: telescope+

- Start MI26.exe (upper icon on the Desktop)
-- Open .mcf threshold file, typically 6 (CALADIUM config files are in C:\opt\mimosas\config_files)
-- Press "Reset" --> 2.0 Amps
-- Press "All" --> 2.8 Amps
-- Press "Read" --> 2.8 Amps
-- Press "Start" --> check 3.6 Amps

2. Open Labview FPGA interface on NI crate, if not already open
- Double click MimosaDAQ (second upper icon on the Desktop)

3. Start EUDAQ on this machine:

- Open a second Terminal 
- cd eudaq (points to /opt/install/eudaq/eudaq-1.5-dev)
- ./STARTRUN
- wait approx. 20 sec.

4. Open TLUproducer on NI crate
- Double click start_EUDAQ_tlu (fourth icon on the Desktop)
--> check in eudaq Run Control, that Produce TLU is connected

5. Configure EUDAQ
- select Config file
- Press Config
- wait till all green

6. Start Run
- Press Start (wait till all green)
--> check, that Trigger and Event Built numbers are increasing
--> check OnlineMonitor, and reset (upper left x-button)

7. Stop
- Re-configure (5.) and Re-Run (6.)
OR
- Terminate and press "Reset" in MI26.exe at NI crate to stop sensors --> check 2.0

Infrastructure Utilities

EPICS Control Interface

The ESTB EPICS control/monitoring interface that provides some important general utilities, such as the XY stage remote control to align the telescope and DUT to the beam, and remote controlled individual power strip socket on/off that can come handy for remotely powering off detectors and rebooting stuck DAQ components and computers inside ESA, To access the ESTB EPIC panel:
