Slow Full-Frame tuning vs. 120Hz Full Vertical Binning procedure (IMPORTANT: do not switch between full-frame/FVB modes without stopping the camera from acquiring, as detailed in these steps. that can cause the camera software to hang):

• start the appropriate IOC panels (see below for command) on tmo-daq or rix-daq
• end the DAQ run if one is in progress
• click "Stop" in the IOC window to stop the Andor acquiring.  This is done in the "Image Collection" area in the middle-right of the main panel
• switch to full-frame mode by setting "Readout Mode" to "Image" in the middle of the "detail" sub panel
• click start in the IOC window to start the Andor in full-frame mode.  ensure "Cam Trig Event Code" (middle right of main panel) and "Exposure Time" (top right of main panel) are set appropriately (typically event code 120 when beam is going to the soft X-ray line).  Setting exposure time too long will interfere with 120Hz operation.
• open the "python viewer" at the top of the main panel
• tune beam position on camera
• when done tuning click "Stop" in the "Image Collection" area in the middle-right of the main panel
• in the middle of the "detail" subpanel set "Readout Mode" to "FVB" (full-vertical binning)
• click "Start" in the main panel middle-right to start the Andor acquiring in FVB mode
• start a DAQ run
• check for damage from the Andor in the DAQ-monitoring grafana window: psdaq#DAQMonitoring
