+=== Setting up monitoring
+
+It is useful to pull some logging output to the RA console to be able to follow what is going on with the instruments. The easiest way is using jrf's monitor command:
+
+{{{
+#!div style="font-size: 80%"
+  {{{#!bash
+  $ monitor -v -P -V -l --key-filter 'log_.*' --log-print
+  }}}
+}}}
+
+This will collate the log output from the lrs3, vdas, and pfip systems on one screen. It is recommended this be run from a terminal on mcs.
+
+On another terminal, start a monitor that shows tcs activity (note the different filter, we're excluding debug messages here): 
+
+{{{
+#!div style="font-size: 80%"
+  {{{#!bash
+  $ monitor -v -T --key-filter 'log_[^d].*' --log-print
+  }}}
+}}}
