2. TODA
   
   1. In a k1obsao VNC desktop, from the background menu,

   This will launch the TODA GUI.
   
   2. Click the upper left red button to turn on TODA. The red button will turn green.
      When dithering in the TRICK mode, TODA tracks
      
      
      • Loops reclosing in each dither within ROI.
      • The transition between TRICK and STRAP mode,
        e.g., loops reclosing after a satellite closure event
