Note that in older version of the software {\tt{--mode 1}} was used only for the ``bottom'' half module. Now, the receiver for the bottom is open without arguments anymore, but still in the configuration file one needs to write {\tt{n:flippeddatax 1}}, where {\tt{n}} indicated the half module number, 1 if it is a module.
