		+	=== Testing the dark box ===
		+	*Use a camera with a 60 second exposure to test the light seal of the dark box
		+	*Verify that signals are coming from the electronics by using an oscilloscope. High gain will allow you to see the dark rate.
		+	*Similarly, verify that the pulser is providing signals by reading both outputs on the scope.
		+
		+	=== Testing the crate ===
		+	*Turn on the pulser and the electronics
		+	*By hand perform a run using the CODA interface
		+	*Error messages will appear in the CODA interface
