Restarting a DAE/DSE

 

Restarting a DAE/DSE requires a web browser located on one of the PCs located in the main control room (cns1pc – cns11pc).  Point the web browser to the DAE/DSE needing a restart by typing in the DAE/DSE machine name followed by “:5801”. 

 

The following screen shots show an example of restarting DSE04.

 

Exit the DataAcquisitionEngine Application

After typing in the URL, you should see the desktop for the chosen DAE/DSE.  The desktop resembles the look and feel of the Windows95 desktop.  Select the window titled “DataAcquisitionEngine” if  not already selected.  If the window is not visible and it can’t be located on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen then proceed to “Reboot the DAE/DSE Machine”.  Otherwise,  Click on the “File” menu and choose “Exit” to quit the “DataAcquisitionEngine” application.

 

 

 

 

Start the DataAcquisitionEngine Application

To get the DAE/DSE running again, click on the Start button and select the “Start DAE” menu option as show in the screen below.  The menu item is named “Start DAE” for DAEs and DSEs.

 

 

You should now once again see the window titled “DataAcquisitionEngine”.  The DAE/DSE is now successfully restarted.

 

 

Reboot the DAE/DSE Machine

Every so often the “DataAcquisitionEngine” application main window might disappear making it impossible to exit in the preferred manner.  If this is the case then click the “Start” menu and navigate the menus as show below finally selecting “Really Really Reboot this whole machine”.  Once the machine starts the reboot process, the web browser window will display an error message.  The DAE/DSE will automatically be restarted upon bootup.
