+  * ssh to hadanapc5

+  * make sure, vxi11 is an executable. Check with ''$ ls'', name of vxi11 should be green. If not, run ''$ sudo chmod +x vxi11''

+  * in the script, you can adjust the ''TIMEOUT = 120'', which is the waiting time between measurement cycles and ''IP = "192.168.10.14"'', which is the ip address of the Keysight module
+  * the last measurement is always print out in the console.
+  * the data for the different protos are saved in seperate files in a directory named after a unix timestamp
+  * the time stamp is the standard unix one
+  * you can also read the temperature of the sensors without logging with ''$ python3 single_readout.py''

+Now the GUI window opens.
+Channel 2 and 3 are currently used for the scintillators.
+Set the trip current to 30 muA and set the max Voltage to 1500 V.
+Turn up the voltage to 1300 V, now you should be able to see signals.

+=== QDC ===
+also on VME PC:
+  * ''cd QDC_v965''
+  * ''./qdc_readout''
+the QDC needs a gate to start measuring something!!
