Release 2.6.5.4:

Modify start script from:

if [[ -f $STARTUP_OPTIONS ]]; then
source $STARTUP_OPTIONS
[[ -n "$NUM_INSTANCES" && $NUM_INSTANCES -gt 1 ]] && INSTANCES=$(seq 1 $NUM_INSTANCES) || INSTANCES=""
else
INSTANCES=""
fi

to:

if [[ -f $STARTUP_OPTIONS ]]; then

source $STARTUP_OPTIONS
fi
# hard code NUM_INSTANCES here if you do not have a startupOptions file (for kit installations, not Owl solutions)
# NUM_INSTANCES=""
[[ -n "$NUM_INSTANCES" && $NUM_INSTANCES -gt 1 ]] && INSTANCES=$(seq 1 $NUM_INSTANCES) || INSTANCES=""

Run the following script from your send-blue, or recv-red directory:

dfts-setup-2654.sh

usage:          ./dfts-setup-2654.sh <number of channels>
 example for single channel setup:   ./dfts-setup-2654.sh 1 
 example for 4 channel setup:         ./dfts-setup-2654.sh 4 
 Note that the Owl driver must also be set up for the same number of channels
