You can check with Pixie16Load, Pixie16Boot, or Pixie16Set. If everything is working, when you run the boot command, the frequency of the hum from the crate will change.

			===Troubleshooting===

			The first thing to check is that the PXI optical comm card and the PC's PCI optical board are compatible. They need to be the same model number or very close. Below is an inventory of compatible boards and where they are now.

			If you are running Pixie16Boot and getting errors or nothing, try running Pixie16Load first.

			This is the step that I struggled with the most. It is possible that the PXI optical PCI card will not be recognized as such. Make sure that nothing else has the same "address" I had to blacklist some network driver trying to claim the optical card.

			Finally, navigate to <code> /home/clarion/pxi/Pixie16/lib </code> and use the make command. This step always went smoothly for me.

			This should get the system ready to run the DAQ software. You can check with Pixie16Load, Pixie16Boot, or Pixie16Set. If everything is working, when you run the boot command, the frequency of the hum from the crate will change.

			==Casual Tutorial For Getting a Pixie Crate Up and Running==
			This is meant to be a bit of a tutorial on how to get a Pixie16 crate running from a fresh flash of Ubuntu 18.
			===Prerequisites===
			Make sure that you have at an XIA crate with at least one Rev. F Pixie16 board. Rev. F boards can be recognized by the female headers on the face instead of the male. Rev. D boards have the male, there are several floating around Fox Lab.

			Make sure that you have a matching pair of optical communication boards: one to go in the crate and one to go into the PC. These model numbers should match or be close. For example, I had to use a PCI-8331/8336 board in the PC and a PXI-8336 board in the crate. It will not work if there is a mismatch. Trust me.

			Make sure you are running Ubuntu 18 with kernel 4.15. The drivers will work with this setup only.

			===Installation===
			The install here is a bit of a lie. In your home directory copy the entire ~/pxi/ folder from the Clarion02 DAQ PC. All following instructions are on the local PC.

			Navigate to <code> cd ~/pxi/PlxSdk/ </code>
			Once here give the commands:

			<code> make clean </code>
			<code> make </code>

			This will build a bunch of stuff.
			Next, navigate to the Drivers folder: <code> cd ~/pxi/PlxSdk/Drivers </code>

			I had the most luck with the "builddrivers.sh" script.

			Start with the PCI drivers: <code> ./builddrivers Svc </code>

			This will likely throw some errors. If it does find the Dispatch.c script is it complaining about, probably here: ~/pxi/PlxSdk/Driver/PlxSvc/

			Edit the includes to look like this:

			... I need to find the script so that I can copy the header.... Bad me

			= LeCroy HV Mainframe=
			The clovers and BGOs bias is supplied by two LeCroy 1458 HV Mainframes. These are controlled via a serial connection to the LN02 PC.

			===Clearing Panic Status===

			A panic status seems to happen with the loss of power. If the system is in a Panic state, the red LEDs on both sides of the "PANIC OFF" button will be on.
			To clear the Panic status:
			#Turn key to "Local"
			#Press the "HV Off" button. This should clear the status and make the red panic lights go out.
			#TURN THE KEY BACK TO REMOTE!!! This is important so we can control the system via the serial connection.

			You will need to do this procedure for each mainframe.
