+**IN CASE OF EMERGENCY PRESS F12**  
+--> Enables attenuator 11: att(1e<sup>-16</sup>)
+
+## Novice User
+
+1.  Starting and using the DAQ (data acquisition system):
+
+    a.  **restartdaq** -- Launches daq, **restartdaq -w** launches DAQ
+        with the windows in their previous position
+
+    b.  **startami** -- restarts ami, use if daq is working but ami is
+        frozen
+
+    - Load the window configuration
+
+    c.  It is good practice to let the DAQ run freely to get updated
+        detector and AMI plots in between scans without recording
+        (**daq.disconnect()** and then "begin run" from dropdown menu in
+        DAQ window, with unchecked "Record Run"). Pulse picker needs to
+        be in **'open'** or **'flip flop'** mode for observations
+
+2.  MFX Home page:
+
+    a.  **mfxhome** -- Launches MFX home
+
+    b.  Checking for faults you may have to clear if the beam goes down:
+        LCLS → LFE Home → General tab → PMPS Diagnostics → clear faults
+
+3.  MFX Python:
+
+    a.  From a seperate terminal **mfx3** starts a python session
+
+    b.  If python freezes: **exit()** then **mfx3** to restart
+
+4.  Open **camViewer** and **eloggrabber** from a terminal
+
+5.  X-ray attenuation: **att(1e-16)** max. **att(1)** min attenuation →
+    100% transmission
+
+6.  Moving the Rayonix detector:
+

+![](./media/ops_guide_rayonix.png)
+
+a.  **Use small step sizes!** If you move the detector in one step, you
+    will crash the detector into the spectrometer, because it overshoots
+    in the end!
+
+b.  Pull out the flight tube out (slowly) before moving the detector in
+
+c.  Remember to put the flight tube in against the kapton before data
+    collection
+
+7.  Pedestals:
+
+    a.  For epix100 and epix10k2M:
+
+        i.  From a terminal: **takepeds** (will take control of daq,
+            need to disconnect DAQ if not done before), confirm X-rays
+            are blocked (**stopper S4.5 is inserted**) and it will start
+            taking pedestals
+
+        ii. Once takepeds is done, run **makepeds** following the prompt
+            (eg. **makepeds -u \<userid\> -q milano -r 28** )
+
+    b.  For the Rayonix detector:
+
+        i.  From a terminal:\
+            \>\> **ssh -X hsuser@con-ics-mfx-rayonix**\
+            \>\> **killall procServ**\
+            \>\> **capxure**\
+            \
+            A new window will appear. Change the "single trigger" option
+            to "none". Change "exposure" to "dark". Click "collect new
+            background". Change "exposure" to "normal". Click "collect
+            new background". Change "single trigger" back to frame. Exit
+            this window, file → quit\
+            \
+            In the previous terminal: \>\>
+            **./startDaqInterface_newcradyl**
+
+    c.  *After collecting and deploying a pedestal, allocate to the
+        DAQ.* In the DAQ window: Shutdown → Allocate → Begin Running
+
+8.  Running Scans:
+
+    a.  autorun(sample = '<SAMPLE TAG>', run_length = 300,
+        record=True, runs = 5, inspire=False, daq_delay=5,
+        picker='flip')
+
+        i.  <Sample tag>: user defined
+
+        ii. run_length=300: in seconds
+
+        iii. record=True: records data in DAQ
+
+        iv. runs = 5: number of runs
+
+        v.  inspire=False: set to True if you need some inspiration to
+            keep hope alive
+
+        vi. daq_delay=5: delay time between runs. Increase is the DAQ is
+            being slow
+
+        vii. picker='flip': If 'open' pulse picker opens before the run
+             starts. If 'flip' it flip-flops before run starts
+
+## Troubleshooting 😵‍ 
+
+Don't see X-rays?
+
+1.  Did you remove the stopper 4.5?
+
+2.  Is the pulse picker in "flip-flop"?
+
+3.  Are you attenuated?
+
+4.  Check "are we ready?" In a terminal type **awr mfx**
+
+Are the plots frozen (AMI)?
+
+1.  Try shutting down the daq: In DAQ window **Shutdown** → **Allocate**
+    →**Begin Running**
+
+2.  Try restarting AMI: in a terminal that is not running python
+    **startami**
+
+3.  Try restarting the DAQ: in a terminal window that is not running
+    python **restartdaq -w**
+
+4.  Call beamline technical support
+
+Is the DAQ frozen?
+
+1.  Try restarting the DAQ: in a terminal window that is not running
+    python **restartdaq -w**
+
+2.  Call beamline technical support
+
+Did the pulse picker lose its position?
+
+1.  On MFX home, open the pulse picker tab
+
+2.  Click "home motor". It will go in "home motor mode"
+
+3.  Click "home motor" (again). The motor will begin moving
+
+4.  Wait until it's done moving
+
+5.  Then hit "Reset Mode"

+## Experienced Users
+
+1.  Plotting AMI
+
+2.  Running CCTBX
+
+    a.  Edit cctbx.xfel file by changing the experiments name (e.g.
+        xcsl######)
+
+    b.  In a terminal that is running python: **source
+        \<path\>/cctbx.xfel**
+
+    c.  A new window will appear with the cctbx.XFEL login. Click OK.
+
+    d.  Change the trial number in the options page. Click on "Auto plot
+        last five runs"
+
+    e.  Click "Hide Options" to see plots. Optional "Large text" for big
+        screens.
+
+3.  Running OM
