- | This tab allows forced control of the Readout GUI, and is for advanced users only. In the event that the run must be stopped, or the DAQ software exited without access to the Readout GUI itself these buttons may be used to perform these actions. The run MUST be ended before using the Force Exit button, or it is likely that the USB crate controllers will become stuck in DAQ mode and the crates will have to be reset. | ||
