I attach SYNC stats for WAVE and AIDA - you will notice that most (but not all) FEE64s
produce WAVE SYNCS

Plus (load balanced) statistics for disc, good events
  303   Fri Jun 10 14:02:17 2016 TD (courtesy VFEP)[How to] Avoid Power-Cycling/Rebooting FEE64s
If you obtain the 'unable to connect' from one, or more, of the FEE64s try the
following procedure *before* power-cycling/rebooting all of the FEE64s. 

1) From the Firefox web browser (Workspace 2) close any tab related to the Merge program
   typically 'MERGE: Control', 'Merger Link Data Rates' and 'MRGE Statistics'

2) Restart the Merge program by selecting the 'MergeServer' icon on the task bar at the top
   of the display which the run the script /MIDAS/Merger/AIDA/Startup

   Restarting the Merge program in this way will ensure that all merge program components
   are removed and that the merge program starts with a timestamp of zero.

   [Attempts to just restart manually which fail to remove ALL of the link tasks will cause
    the data collection for those FEE64 links to an existing link task to fail (port already
    in use).

    It is also important that the Merge restarts with the time stamp at zero and with the link
    queues all empty  (which happens when the software is reloaded)]

3) From the Firefox web browser (Workspace 2) 'MERGE: Control' tab

   Select Reload

   The Merge state should now be 'Unknown'

   Select Configure & Setup

   Select GO

   This should immediately commence reading data from the links and sending merged data to the
   TapeServer if enabled.

   Select Toggle Merge Data Transfer State to toggle data transfer to the TapeServer 

   Select Toggle Merge Program Pause State to toggle input data to the Merge program

Do not forget to backup the current versions of the attached files before
installing the latest versions. The latest version features the sequential 
power up of each of the eight mains relays - this will help minimise instantaneous
network loads during power/boot up.

 Hello

 Coould we have a copy of the latest USB power replay .tml file please?
 Our current version does not permit sequential power on and Patrick says
 that may be helpful when attempting to start 32 FEEs.

Set permissions for the USB-serial device using the command

sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0

Note: Vic Pucknell reports that he has sometime observed the device
rotate between /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1, /dev/ttyUSB2 etc - make\
sure you are using the correct device name with the command:

ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*


Start PuTTY

Note: permissions for the USB-serial device will revert to their

the serial line connection will have been established.
