In a directory, say fdaq, have the following files:
crate0.crate
std.testclock
sys.properties
system.cfg
Their contents are as follows.

In the Generic Data Acquistion Control window, go to File-Edit Config. In the new window that appears, you can change the location of boards and add/remove other boards from the crate. Changes you make will be reflected in the file crate0.crate. In our setup, we have the testclock board in slot 13 (base address 0x70000000) and the tdc board in slot 20. The tdc board isn't entered here because there are no software tests for it. We are using the fdaq software to control the testclock to send a clock and L1 accepts to the tdc board.
Under File-Preferences, make sure that both the Init Boards and Open Connection options are checked.
Now go to DAQ-Init System.
This should initialize all the boards in the crate. Next, go to Board Status-Testclock.
This will bring up a Testclock Status Page.
On the Main tab, check "Clock Back Plane Enable" and hit write. The cdf clock should now be enabled.
Next, go to the TSIE tab. Make sure "tsie backplane Enable" is checked. Load FIFOA with file: /home/maryh/fdaq/single.dat. The contents of this file are:
H200 "sync
After loading the file, hit "start tsie", this will send the single level 1 accept that was specified in the single.dat file.
That's it. To do more things, change the file single.dat. The manual Testclock V.7 in the shop has the details on what goes in here.

Start the fdaq program with the command "fdaq", which is an alias set up in the previous commands. You'll get an error "Cannot Find Class admem.Admem", just ignore it.
