Some things to look for in the output are listed below | * Check the status of the DBBC/mark5 with ''midob'' - this will call many monitoring commands.

| * ''bread'' - Confirm that all channels are in AGC mode and that the power levels are ~15000 for bbc017-32 and between ~8000 and 30000 for bbc001-bbc012 (S-band RFI) | * ''bread'' - Confirm that all channels are in AGC mode and that the power levels are ~15000 for [ bbc017-32 @Ke ]/[ bbc033-048 @ Hb ] and between ~8000 and 30000 for bbc001-bbc012 (S-band RFI) |

| * The ''samplers'' output contains all the details of the DBBC3 samplers and is intended for debugging purposes. The main things to check are that in each sampler block, the Power readings are relatively similar (to within a few percent) and that the Corr readings are all > 180E6 for Hobart12 and > 170E6 for Katherine. The samplers output is difficult to scan by eye, and a script that uses the multicast messages from the DBBC is preferable, see next point. | * The ''samplers'' output contains all the details of the DBBC3 samplers and is intended for debugging purposes.
