This requires changes in some of the tcl scripts. Make sure that you communicate with the S800 responsible, and of course, do not do anything if you don't know what you are doing. The list below describes the steps that need to be followed to include new channels in the scaler.
  
   * Modify the scaler display script to include the new signals: Go to **/user/s800/Documents/Run/scalers/USBDAQ** and edit file **s800scl.des** to include the new channels (make sure that you make a copy of the old file so that it can be recovered when the new signals are not needed anymore). Save the new file.   * Modify the scaler display script to include the new signals: Go to **/user/s800/Documents/Run/scalers/USBDAQ** and edit file **s800scl.des** to include the new channels (make sure that you make a copy of the old file so that it can be recovered when the new signals are not needed anymore).
