The Readout GUI window will appear. **IMPORTANT NOTE:** When running Readout GUI, make sure that the environment variables needed by the system are properly defined. This can be done from a Linux terminal by typing: ''. /usr/opt/nscldaq/xxxx/daqsetup.bash'', where ''xxxx'' is the nscldaq version (xxx = 11.0-020, on Feb 2016). |

Before beginning taking data is necessary to initialize the system. This is done by clicking ''Start'' in the ReadoutGUI. After initializing the contollers, the ReadoutGUI window will show the ''Begin'' button active. In addition, three additional buttons should appear at the end of the window. They can be used to start the GUI associated with several DAQ tools described below. Make sure that the system is fully initializing before opening those GUIs. | The figure below shows the Readout GUI window after initializing the system. After clicking ''Begin'', the "Event Builder" window will pop out, displaying information about the Readout session. Data can be recorded on disk by checking out the box ''Record''. To end a data run, simply click ''End''. |
