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

- 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 GM1_pedestal config
- start run
- stop run after at least 30 k events
- go back to GMN1 configuration and start regular rub

Troubleshooting
