    Computer center fixed the network switch halla-rightarm-top-sw.  It had
    to be reloaded, as it had lost its configuration.
    
    I rebooted all the frontend cpus but did not try to run CODA yet.
    
    I restored the HV on the top HV crate. Works fine.  I took it through a
    few cycles of bring it up and turning it off (power off).  The "empty
    string" problem appears to be absent, but it was a rare thing anyway.
    
    The bottom crate has a problem, though.  I can turn on the modules but
    there are two issues:
    
    1. The modules in slots 2, 4 have a voltage limit - about 34 volts.  I
    can control them between 0 and 34 but not beyond that.
    
    2. The module in slot 13 trips on any of its channels if you ask for a
    voltage above about 50V.  Even with no VDC plugged in.
    
    ------
    
    I tried various things, like I brought a module which I knew was working
    from earlier testing -- same symptom of a HV limit.  
    
    My plan is that after lunch I will test all modules from the lower crate
    in a crate downstairs.  If they work there, I will consult with Jack. 
    Might be a power supply issue.  
    
    In the meantime, please use "./hvs RIGHT_top"  to run the top HV crate.
