 In the rare case that the RunControl GUI gets "frozen", it is possible to reboot the whole system manually. This operation requires to turn off the VME and CAMAC crates, and the spdaq computer, all them located in the rack seating near the FP box in the S3 vault. Then, the system must be turned back on in the following order. First, CAMAC crate, second VME crate, and third spdaq. In the rare case that the RunControl GUI gets "frozen", it is possible to reboot the whole system manually.

-===== How to run combined S800 + GRETINA ===== 
-OBSOLETE. Documentation is currently under development. 
- 
- 
-In order to run the combined S800 + Gretina daq, the following steps need to be taken: 
- 
-1. On spdaq48 in /user/s800/operations/daq/usb/TclXXUSB do: 
- 
-**wish ./RunControl.tcl** 
- 
-or, on devop2 (the S800 MAC machine) 
- 
-click on the operations folder on the lower icon bar and select runcontrol.command 
- 
-2. On a dataU machine logged in as the experimental account (e11007 for the June 2012 testing period) do 
- 
-**godaq** 
- 
-3. On spdaq44 do:  
- 
-**/usr/opt/daq/10.1/bin/ringbuffer status**. The output should look similar to: 
-

- 
-Upon start of run there will be another client of the s800 ring, which is the pushToGEB process. This should die on end run. 
- 
- 
-The S800 daq will now be in slave mode, and run control is done from the NSCL daq window.
