+======= Turn on/off Mode3 Data collection ======
+  * To start/stop mode3 data collection on the EPICS GUI page click the button Cluster. In the newly opened window click the button **2 only** for mode2 data only or the **2 and 3** for both mode2 and mode3 data.
+  * Alternatively in a terminal on a2.gam run the command **"caput Data_CS_Save2And3 0/1"** to turn mode3 collection off/on.
+  * After doing this the decomp scripts should be modified as running the syncrofix command could overwrite this.
+  * For GRETINA standalone the script to modify is is **grdecompSA.sh** and for GRETINA-S800, **grdecompParticleGamma.sh**.
+  * For both scripts change the line **"caput Data_CS_Save2And3 0/1"** to turn mode3 collection off/on
+======= New in 2022 ======
+start run window is obsolete. Two scripts are available for changing the data directory. Daq needs to be stopped, directories need to exist:
+  * changeDataDir_maintainRunNum  <data dir>  : keeps the Run number the same, for when we need to move physics experiment data collection to another disk
+  * changeDataDir_resetRunNum <data dir>  : finds the lowest available Run number without any larger RunDir #s

+  * {{ :daq:ulm-e16011_names.png?linkonly |S800 Trigger GUI}}
+======= Troubleshoot ======
+  * S800-Gretina not correlated: Check CC setfile ~s800/converged_daq/Scripts/CC0105Begin.tcl for extsynch and extclock
+  * S800 is losing events. Check the network speed of spdaq32 by /sbin/ethtool eth0 and /sbin/ethtool eth1 , both should show speed as 1000Mb/s, if one shows 100Mb/s then the network is too slow and S800 cannot send data to GEB fast enough which will cause event loss happen.
+  * Check the ringbuffer status, $DAQBIN/ringbuffer status - -host=spdaq32 - -all , if the free colum becomes zero, DAQ related people needs to be notified for diagnostics.

+  * Force timestamps to reset, DO NOT USE DURING RUN!!!: **SINGLEIMPSYNC**
+  * Warning script: run on a2 as gretina in ~/scripts: **./warningMessage4.sh **
+  * Check decomp stats  ** recordDecomp.sh | head -n50 **
+  * [[Flash digitizer firmware]]
+  * Check digitizer firmware version: on a2 or a1 terminal, type: **DIGSNIDFW** ,all digitizers should have same version firmware
+  * [[Replace digitizer with different color ones]]
+  * [[Replace fuses of digitizer]]
+  * [[No valid decomposed events]]
+  * Verify connecedt digitizers, at IOC interface, type **dbior**, it will print all identified digitizers within one bank

-G	DNLapril2012:   DNL data of digitizers
-====== Configuration files for decompostion ======
-The configuration for the decomposition is here: https://wikihost.nscl.msu.edu/gretina/doku.php/daq:decomp
-====== Positioning of the quads ======
-When a position of a detector is changed the following has to be updated:
-  * CS_DataId in https://wikihost.nscl.msu.edu/gretina/doku.php/daq:decomp
-  * CS_GblId in /global/devel/boot/vmeArray/vme*.cmd --- The Id is given by  hole_number * 16 + position_in_quad * 4 + board_number
-  * (GTSort_shack/DetNum.dat --- self explanatory) <-- only if GTSort_shack is still in use for online spectra.
-  * Changes need to be made in non-linearity correction code from Heather (hardcoded detector positions). Ask Mario/Heather for the needed compilations there.
-====== How to replace a broken node with a spare one ======
-To replace a node of the cluster (e.g. n000x) with a spare one (e.g. n000y) follow the following procedure:
-In the file /global/devel/gretTop/11-1/gretClust/bin/linux-x86/setup7modulesRaw.sh and in the file /global/devel/gretTop/11-1/gretClust/bin/linux-x86/setupEndtoEnd28.sh
-  * replace node000x_CS_Program? with node000y_CS_Program?
-  * from the "GRETINA CLUSTER node allocation" window identify the name of the Decomp process (middle click on the crystal number) and replace it in the files
-  * change the n000x to offline and the n000y to online using the variables Decomp???_CS_Enable
-====== DAQ cold restart ======
-  * Switch off all the vme crates.
-  * wait 30 s
-  * Switch on the vme crate of the trigger cards.
-  * wait till the red lights over the trigger board are on (~ 3 minutes)
-  * Switch on all the other vme crates
-  * wait till the green blinking lights appears on all the digitizers (~ 3 minutes)
-  * start the daq and check the synchronization (alarm window or TS window). If few of the digitizers are out of sync recover them using the "reboot IOCs button", otherwise power-cycle on their crate
+  * Switch to a1
+    * If a2 cannot be brought back. Gretina DAQ can still run on a1. In the file ~/.profile , environment variable **DAQSERVER** needs changed to be a1.gam . This parameter is used to restrict gretina daq critical scripts to run on specific machine.
