      • Minimize this terminal, you should not need it again
• You start a new observing session by: 
  
  • Opening a terminal and typing:
    • "cd ~/igrins_admin"
    • "python mtini.py"
      • Shut down the housekeeping package (HKP) if it is open.
      • There are three motors you can home, and by default you should use option (0).For now: run 2, run 3, run 1 but motor will get stuck.  When it says the same position over and over control-c to get out of mtini.py
        
        • 0 - Initialize all motors
        • 1 - Lower translator (pseudo-dark mask)
        • 2 - Upper translator (fold mirror for looking at the calibration sources)
        • 3 - Lamp selector (lets you select lamps or arcs)
      • 5 - quit motor homing script
    • "cd ~/igrins_admin"
    • "sudo python ibunny.py" and provide the date when prompted. Leave this terminal running in the background.
  • After running ibunny.py, in a separate terminal type:
    • "cd ~/igrins_admin"
    • "sudo bash icsrun" and enter the IGRINS password again if prompted.
    • Take a 'Single' and 'Start Exposure' with autosave enabled to check the detector readout when the instrument control software is first started.
      
    • Turn off autosave and adjust the windows so that the House Keeping Package is on the far left screen, the Slit-Viewing Camera is on the left of the ICC screen, and the Data Taking Package is on the right side of the ICC screen.
  • You must restart ibunny.py every time you exit and restart icsrun - if you fail to do this the DTP will state that the H and K detectors are disconnected. 
  • Now you are ready to use the Data Taking Software.  Next, go to the manual for Using the IGRINS Data Taking Software.
