*DAQ should be running already on hadesk4 in a VNC

*If the VNC is not opened, or after logging in as adaq@adaq2
**type: RunCoda.  VNC password is the adaq password.  
**If the VNC session does not exist (a window popup will say 'connection refused' after typing RunCoda), the VNC session must be started.
**To start the DAQ VNC session, log into sbs-onl@adaq2 and run 'start_daq_vnc' (no quotes).  This will start the VNC session on adaq2, port 4. 
**To reconnect to an open VNC session, on sbs-onl@adaq2, type vncviewer.  In the pop-up window, type adaq2:4 and click Connect. 

*In the VNC session, use the CODA script buttons on first Desktop to start the ROC Xterms and Run Control
**Click on SBS_coda_scripts icon/directory
**Click StartXTerms icon 
**Click CODA Run Control icon 
**If needed, use Restart CODA components

*In runcontrol make sure sbsts session and config GEnII-3stream are chosen

*To start a run

**hit configure button in runcontrol, might need to hit it twice if vtpROC20 misses the first configuration
**hit download button ( wait until vtpROC20 is done ) 
**check prescale factors ( To open prescale gui : ssh to sbs-onl@adaq2 and type prescale )
**hit Start Run button
**fill in run information in pop up box ( make sure you have correct target / runtype )

*Pedestal run
**select GEnII-3stream-ped config
**start run
**stop run after at least 30 k events
**go back to GMN1 configuration and start regular rub

*Troubleshooting
**ER1 getting stuck at prestart
***hit reset in runcontrol
***hit configure, download, prestart and start a run


**SEB and ER stuck at end of run
***hit reset in runcontrol
***hit restart CODA components
***redo configure and download
***start a run
**GEM module not initializing or getting Errors
***Reboot VTP crate : open in browser http://hallavme12.jlab.org (open the browser in the VNC unless you have password for crate you're power cycling)
