Take data
Before attempting to take any data please make sure that ALL FEECs of all four readout
partition is ON even if you are only taking data from a part of the PHOS module. There
is several issues/conflicts between DAQ and DCS. The problem is that DAQ occasional
leaves the RCU in a state of error when it is impossible to access it from DCS or to take
any data. There is however a recipe to follow that will keep the system working both for
DCS and DAQ/DATE. The recipe is given below.
