The `selog.sq3` file in `C:/Data` is used by ISISICP to store log data prior to a run end, it is then purged. It will normally only get very big if a run has not been ended for a long time, which either happens over a shutdown if logging has been left running, or on systems that do not often end runs such as RIKENFE, MUONFE, DETMON, HIFI-CRYOMAG etc. The solution is to begin and end a run, though on HIFI-CRYOMAG the scientist will normally do this themselves once a cycle to keep log data together in the same data file, so consult with them if it needs doing. Ending a run may take a while and will happen in the background, so don't stop ibex as soon as you get back to SETUP as it will likely not have finished saving. If you need to stop ibex, wait until the data file for the run you have saved appears in the archive.

## Multiple VXI devices
469+
470+
If you have multiple DAE2 VME crates then you will legitimately have multiple VXI devices in NI MAX. However there are cases when you can get two devices showing but have only one. This is usually because of either:
471+
- DAE USB cable has been plugged into a different socket in the PC
472+
- the DAE USB card has been changed
473+
in these cases when the "scan for new hardware" happens on the PC, it thinks it has found a new device. usually the old device will show as VXI0 and disconnected, the enw device as VXI1. To remedy teh situation
474+
- stop visa server in NI max
475+
- delete VXI0
476+
- rename VXI1 to VXI0
477+
- start visa server
