# Usage

## Open digitizers
Simply press the "Open Digitizers" button from the FSUDAQ. It wll scan all 4 ports of the fiber optics cards and 3 boards for each port. User can modify the MaxNBoard and MaxNPort in the code and re-compile.
When a digitizer is found, connection will be established. And setting files will be created at the settings folder inside the experiment folder with filename setting_XXX.bin, where XXX is the board serial number. If setting file is found, the setting will be use and program the digitizer.
### After opened digitizer
Once at least one digitizer is connected. The Board Setting and Channel Setting are avalible.
1. plot a single trace
2. Continue run the digitizer without taking data. Can plot energy spectrum, count, or traces
3. Take data. This will only take data, fast scanning the data, and dump it to *.fsu file. Files size limit is 2 GB.
## Open *.bin setting file
If no digitizer is open, user can open a setting file. once the setting file is open, the Board setting and Channel setting panels will open. User can change the settings.
