 ### Starting the S-bit rate scan
 
-To take a threshold scan, first connect to [RCMS](http://cmsrc-gem.cms:20000/rcms/gui/servlet/FMPilotServlet), then create a miniDAQ3 session or attach to a running session.

+From the RCMS interface, click on "Initialize" and "Connect".
+
+Consider that usually S-bits scans are taken without HV amplification to investigate the noise level in the detector, so you might need to take action with the DCS on the HV settings.

+Open the [xDAQ](http://srv-s2g18-33-01.cms:20100/urn:xdaq-application:service=calibration) calibration suite. In case the calibration suite page was already opened before, reload the page manually.
 
-From the RCMS interface, click on "Connect" and then "Configure".
+From the dropdown menu, select the calibration type "S-bit ARM DAC scan", then  set the number of iterations in the "Iterations" text box to 6 and leave all the other parameters to their default values. Click on "Apply settings".
