1) STOP DAQ [workspace 2, display 1, browser tab 'Run Control']

    terminal window showing the startup will popup

3) Setup Merger by selecting 'SETUP' [workspace 3, display 1, browser tab 'NewMerger Control']

7) Check WR timestamps by selecting 'Collect all timestamps' [workspace 2, display 1, browser tab 'GSI White Rabbit Control']
     readout times will be displayed for each FEE64
     check that the readout times are monotonically increasing as you read down the list of readout times - if not, contact expert support

     you should see 'Blocks written' and 'kb written' counters increase

11) Check AIDA data is being forwarded from the TapeServer to MBS [workspace 3, display 2, command terminal]

    If not, please request expert assistance.
