  4   09 Jan 2019 12:22 ThomasRoutineGeneralV1725 LVDS outputsPierre figured out that NIM crate not working.
 We now see LVDS outputs from the individual
channels firing.

from all four modules.

ds-proto-daq.  MIDAS data files will get
written to this raid volume.

are using only supports reading out up to
4000 samples per channel.
