 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 with three tags labeled "main", "SSHPipe@localhost:0", and "SSHPipe@localhost:1". The first one provides general information about the ReadoutGUI. The second and third tabs provide information about the data sources (from the CCUSB and VMUSB controllers). **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 session connected to spdaq19 by typing: ''. /usr/opt/nscldaq/xxxx/daqsetup.bash'', where ''xxxx'' is the nscldaq version (xxx = 11.0-020, on Feb 2016). 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 Trigger GUI appears when the "Init" button is pressed on the CAMAC crate controller tab as part of the initial setup of the [[s800 daq tools#run control window|S800 USB daq]]. The Trigger GUI is a visual display of the various Gate and Delay Generators and logic elements that make up the configurable trigger of the S800. The logic of the trigger decision is readily discerned from a visual inspection of this GUI. Setting the trigger configuration is also done using this GUI by right clicking on any of the wires to put that signal onto one of the four "Trigger Inspect" channels available at the patch panel of Data-U6. By inspecting the various delays, widths and overlaps the user trigger can be configured. The Trigger GUI is discussed in greater detail [[Trigger|here]].+The Trigger GUI appears when the "Launch ULM GUI" button is pressed on [[#Readout GUI]].
