When the VetoDAQ app is first opened, the Modify Veto DAQ Config window will pop up over the main app. When bias voltage, comments, etc. are entered, the operator clicks the <Accept> button to exit saving changes, or <Cancel> to exit without saving.

1. After the Config vi closes, the main VetoDAQv5x front panel will be visible
2. Before starting any DAQ loops, the mux backplane cards connected to the computer should be toggled to an OFF state, with none of the green backplane LEDs blinking
3. When ready to begin collecting data, the <Toggle Mux OFF/ON> button is clicked again, programming the strobe pulse to be issued after a short delay (~5 sec). This starts the muxes
4. Click the <DAQ Start> buttons in the control clusters during the delay after the Toggle Mux button is clicked, but before the strobe occurs. This reduces the possibility of data framing errors (receiving split trigger packets from the muxes).
