For active source (i.e. explosions) you can leave the gain at 0, but for passive experiments some gain is purported to be helpful (although we have found this to be somewhat negligible). We can confirm that 6db for the broadband nodes and 24db for the short period works well.

49 +=== **Programming tips**: ===

51 +Connecting SmartSolo nodes to their harvesters and having SoloLite recognise them can be a bit tricky, here are some tricks to help register and program them easier:
52 +
53 + - Place the node on the harvester gently, then firmly press it down onto the pins
54 +
55 + - Place all nodes onto the harvester before trying any troubleshooting, as they may not show up while the SoloLite software is running. Once all are connected, try  restarting the software for them to be recognised.
56 +
57 + - If a node is refusing to connect, try it with another slot. It is easiest if you place all 16 nodes on the harvester, and swap any nodes that refuse to connect with eachother
58 +
59 + - Nodes will likely not show up in the order that they should, though this is not an issue. Eg, a node in slot 6 on the harvester may show up in port 13 in the SoloLite software
