Normal DAQ Operations
Account Info
- 3rd Arm DAQ is running separately with the HRS DAQs.

- 3rd Arm DAQ is using CODA 2.5.
Start and Stop Runs
- To start and stop runs, push the buttons "Start" and "End".
- No need to use "Prestart", "Start" will do "Prestart" and "Go" in sequence.

Editing Prescale Factors
- Login with adev account, type "prescaleTA" to start the GUI. Make changes and click "save" button.
- Notice T8 is 103.7 kHz fast clock for 3rd arm, so you need to set PS8 to 103 to get a ~1kHz pulser trigger.
