Entry  Tue May 24 08:28:28 2016, Patrick Coleman-Smith, [HowTo] Save power if not using the Waveforms and restart the Waveforms 
The USB controlled power Relays are near their AC fuse operating limit which has caused some Fuse failures.
To reduce the power consumption of each FEE64 it is possible to power down the Waveforms ADCs saving about 20W per FEE64.

Entry  Mon May 23 17:21:29 2016, Patrick Coleman-Smith, [HowTo] A solution to the problem of no SYNCs 
When starting Aida some FEE64 fail to provide SYNC data , or any data for that matter, on the ASIC data stream.
The problem is that the ASIC Readout is not starting properly and is becoming stuck waiting for an internal
event which will never arrive.
