-As oper@mk5ya, first check if the dimino program is running (ps -ef | grep dim). If not, start it with "​dimino -m0&"​. While your at the prompt, check that the ntp time is correct by running "​ntpq",​ and then issuing ​the "​peers"​ command. The offset and delay to tac32ho should be small (less than ~5 milliseconds). If it is not, then the best thing to do is to run "​fmset"​ on pcfshb, set the time (with "​."​) and then sync the formatter ("​s",​ followed by "​y"​). Exit from fmset as soon as you have finished.+As oper@mk5ya, first check if the dimino program is running (ps -ef | grep dim). If not, start it with "​dimino -m0&"​.

 It's worthwhile making a test recording using the mark5b. To do this you can either use tstdimino on mk5ya or the fs. The instructions below are for the fs but to use them in tstdimino, omit the leading "​mk5="​. It's worthwhile making a test recording using the mark5b.
