Subject: HowTo mitigate excessive temperature in an FEE64  

After tests in the Daresbury T9 system.

Disabling the waveform ADCs in an FEE64 which is running with the FPGA over temperature will drop the FPGA temperature by 10 degrees.

To disable the ADCs open the Local Control browser window and set the ADC Control register , @2, to 0xFF

The easiest way to restart the waveform ADCs correctly is to rerun SETUP from the control window selecting just the FEE that is affected.

Alternatively STOP acquisition, set the ADC Control  register back to 0 and rerun the calibrate ADCs in the FADC Align and Control browser window.
