  1. Server Preparation
    1. Switch inputs to Megapixel
    2. Use DVI ramp and serial box to initialize each screen
      1. If issue with first quadrant (miranda) move input into DVI 2 input, from the console run 'init 3' then 'init5'. The miranda light should be green and you can switch the DVI input into the correct port
    3. run 'xhost +' from the console, this will allow the demo to be solely run from the floor
  1. Wanda Preparation (controller)
    1. Connect ethernet cable to tracking PC (test by opening a browser)
    2. Open serial to usb application and verify the device is idle
      1. If not disconnect the usb and serial components and plug usb side back in
      2. Wait until us serial application says idle and then reconnection the serial cable
    3. hit F12 during POST and select external USB or DVD drive to boot from DVD
    4. Turn the tracking boxes on (base box first and then top box)
      1. The top box lights should flash green 2 to 3 times
    5. Start local tracking service (add name here)
    6. ssh into megapixel from putty
    7. start trackd, you should see values coming up on the screen
      1. if no values or it fails to start "killall -9 trackd"
      2. repeat start procedure
    8. ssh into megapixel from putty (second terminal)
    9. start 'opencover'
      1. if fails, most likely issue 'xhost +' needs to be set on the server
      2. 'opencover' can also be run from the control room (e.g directly on megapixel)
