This procedure assumes that IGRINS has already been tested by observatory staff, or used the previous night. For a complete restart (perhaps after a power failure) see below.
...
- To start a new observing night you must close the IGRINS control software and restart it. This will create new directories and log files.
- Close inactive terminals Open a terminal and type...
- On the ICC...
- Click the red 'X' on the upper left corner of the Data Taking Package, Slitview Camera GUI, and the Housekeeping Package.
- Close out of the Quick Look Package, also using the red 'X', if they are running.
- Make sure that all python scripts have been killed and that there are no rocket icons on the bottom dock.
- 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).
- 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
- "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.
- 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.
