+# ==========================================================================
+# Startup
 
-.w 2000
-# As a First step we want to calibrate the current, which are read from the bias crate,
-# and not take a DRS calibration, as it is mentioned in the data taking page...
-# so for this we should get the feedback and biasctrl programs into known states
-# I think it is good to try a RECONNECT to the bias, and make sure the voltage is off
-# Since we do not know, what the feedback program is doing at the moment, we should as well,
-# tell it to keep its mouth shut ... just to be sure, we know whats going on
-> stopping feedback

-# If we were disconnected, and this was the first try of the night, the bias_ctrl should
-# be in state 'VoltageOff'(7) more or less immediately
-#.s BIAS_CONTROL 3

-# if these assumptions are all wrong, then we might have been properly connected anyway,

+# call it by: .x ScriptsForDimCtrl/Startup.dim
 
-# in case we reach this line, the voltages are all off, and the feedback does not do anything
-# So lets do the current calibration, therefor we tell the bias crate to ramp up just 1 single DAC count(~22mV)
-# the result of this action is, to get bias_ctrl into the state 'VoltageOn'(9), but since we only go one DAC count it shouldn't take long
-> setting bias globally to 1 DAC

+# ----------------------------------------------------
 
-# now we may tell the feedback program to calibrate the currents ...
-# I do not understand, if I have to explicitely allow the feedback program to generate output,
-# or if it just produces output...
-# As far as I understand, the feedback output enable status is the same,
-# as it was before I send the STOP command... so it is unknown at this point.
-# and in addition enabling or disabling the output, when STOPed is not possible as far as I know...
-# I try to enable it anyway.
