NOTE: THIS IS VERY INCOMPLETE

    1. Ask an upper year for the password

  2. Get DAQ set up

    1. Get the DAQ box open

    2. Get the power chord and plug it into the box (and an outlet)

      1. Takes a bit to get familiar with DAQ connectors, anyone should be able to help you for your first one, and the rest should be trivial

    3. Grab a USB cable from the USB cable box and connect the DAQ case with the laptop

  3. Plug in all the required sensors

  4. Start Omnibus

    2. cd Documents\omnibus

      1. Every now and then, do git pull to make sure you are up to date

    3. python -m omnibus

      1. Please look at the omnibus documentation for more details if you have issues

  5. Start the source

    1. Open another instance of the command line

    2. cd Documents\omnibus\sources\ni

    3. python main.py

    4. Check to make sure messages are getting sent over omnibus

  6. Start the dashboard

    1. Open the third and final instance of the command line

    2. cd Documents\omnibus\sinks\dashboard
