then set up at 57 V [off at 0 V] manually (flat for all 12 channels) and wait until everything is OK

At the end, logout from dcs@l0padme1.

At the moment status strips are being written to the new DCS monitor to check every 30 sec or so the V,I,Temp of all veto stations in the DCS monitor - detector - pveto,eveto and hepveto windows.

Alarms are not yet in action through the new DCS control, so if anything goes down the shifter has to take action.
