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
Verify that "Capture Rate" in the "Image Collection" section of the main panel is what you expect
start a DAQ run
check for damage from the Andor in the DAQ-monitoring grafana window: psdaq#DAQMonitoring
