The DAQ is working now, with some qualifications.

Simple instructions:

startcoda Bbite .... and then select test17 (usually it will
be the choice since it was what ran last)

startcoda Hand .... and then select HANDalone.

(Bbite means BBite + L-HRS + R-HRS but no Hand).
(Hand means HAND alone)
----------------------------

Technical:

1. The SFI Aux card on Hand corrupts the data in such a way to
cause SYNCH loss in EB. I don't want to explain the many hours
of isolating the problem to this card. Yes, it's the card.
We tried to find a spare card, but could not. I will hunt for it
Monday morning, perhaps Cuevas has one. After that we can put
Hand into the main DAQ.

2. Various things were wrong with the handshaking on L-HRS and
R-HRS, not worth documenting here. It works now. The next step is
to run with HRS singles and do the retiming. Then start checking
cosmics data on the two HRS. I suppose one could check cosmics
on Bigbite simultaneously ....

3. A crew of people are working on Hand as I write this ...
