| The Run Control GUI is invoked by either clicking the icon **RunControl** in the desktop of [[Software#u6pc5 (data U6)|u6pc5]] or by navigating in a Linux terminal to the directory **/user/s800/operations/daq/usb/TclXXUSB** and typing ''/usr/bin/wish RunControl.tcl''. The Run Control window and the EventBuilder window will appear. The image shows the typical configuration for stand-alone mode. | The S800 Readout GUI is invoked by either clicking the icon **S800 DAQ** in the desktop of [[Software#u6pc5 (data U6)|u6pc5]] or by navigating in a Linux terminal to the directory **/user/s800/converged_daq** and typing ''godaq''. The Readout GUI window will appear. The image shows the typical configuration for stand-alone mode. |

| Before beginning taking data is necessary to initialize the VME and CAMAC USB controllers. This is done by selecting the crate (either VM0079 for VME or CM0105 for CAMAC) and selecting the corresponding initialization file by clicking in the **Browsing** button. The initialization files are ''/user/s800/operations/daq/usb/Scripts/VM0079Init.tcl'' for VME and ''/user/s800/operations/daq/usb/Scripts/CM0105Init.tcl'' for CAMAC. Once the files are selected, the modules can be initialized by clicking in the button *Init*. After initializing the VME crate, the [[s800 daq tools#delay window|TDC delay window]] should pop out. Likewise, the [[s800 daq tools##Trigger GUI|Trigger GUI]] will appear after initializing the CAMAC crate. It is very important that both Save and Broadcast are checked. Failure to do so will result in settings files not being saved, data from the USB controllers not being broadcast to the eventbuilder, and the S800 evt files not being saved. | Before beginning taking data is necessary to initialize the VME and CAMAC USB controllers.
