- 1. ssh to sbs-onl@adaq2 (easiest from a-onl)

- 2. ssh to sbsecal#, where # will be 1-7 (vxs crates)

- 3. cd linuxvme/fadc-HallB-utils

- 4. ls -lrt to check name convention of previous <sbsecal#_date_filename> which contains the pedestal values in the format required by the ecal.cnf file so you can just copy and paste it

- 5. run the script fadc250peds <sbsecal#_date_filename.txt> , only need the one argument being the text file name which you want to write the pedestal values to

- 6. after that is finished do exit, to exit from the sbsecal# you ssh'ed into

- 7. repeat steps 2-6 but foe each sbsecal# (once again, iterating # through 1-7)

- 8. (preferably in a different terminal/tab) ssh to /adaqfs/home/sbs-onl/ecal/cfg/fadc250 , this is where the ecal.cnf file is which contains the pedestal values

- 9. open the ecal.cnf file remove the current pedestals for a crate, and copy and paste the pedestals for that crate from the respective sbsecal#_date.txt file which you just generated in step 5

- 10. Use diaggui to check that the peds look good, using diaggui should have instructions elsewhere on this wiki
