- If there has been a power failure, you need to check the Lakeshore temperature controllers to ensure that the correct operating temperatures are being maintained.
- Start/restart the "Instrument Control Computer" (ICC) if it is not already running. It is the big iMac. This is required to establish proper socket connections.
- Turn on the "Data Storage Computer" (DSC). It is the Mac tower.
- On the ICC...
- Open a terminal and type...
- "cd ~/igrins_admin"
- Go to main directory where we run all the IGRINS stuff from.
- "bash mntrun"
Mounts remote directories.
- Ask if you need to know the password.
- It might error if these directories already exist. This is okay.
- "python tmp350.py"Minimize this terminal, you should not need it again.
- Starts temperature controller monitoring. This ensures the heaters stay on.
- This terminal now should run in the background for the whole observing run.
- Minimize this terminal, you should not need it again
- "cd ~/igrins_admin"
- If you think the positions of the motors are off, or the motors are unresponsive, open a terminal and run the following script to reset their positions...
- "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)- However, we are having issues with the dark mirror motor.0 - Initialize all motors- don't do this- 2 - Upper translator (fold mirror for looking at the calibration sources)
- 3 - Lamp selector (lets you select lamps or arcs)
- 1 - Lower translator (pseudo-dark mask) - This will hang and you will need to Cntrl-C out.
- 5 - quit motor homing script
- Load up the remote desktops for all the detector software running on the 3 Dell computers in the instrument rack.
- Open 3 remote desktops sessions either by right clicking in the dock or opening a terminal and typing "open -n Remote\ Desktop\ Connection.app/".
- Go to the following IP addresses in each of the remote desktop windows:
- 192.168.2.4 - DCC for SVC - Data control computer for the slit view camera
- 192.168.2.5 - DCC for H-band - Data control computer for the H-band camera
- 192.168.2.6 - DCC for K-band - Data control computer for the K-band camera
- Ask if you need to know the username and password.
- If you see a warning about the certificate, click connect, it will still work.
- Run the following on each of the three detector control computers (DCCs) to get the detectors running...
- Double click "HAL Server" icon on the desktop.
- Click "Start" then minimize the HAL window.
- If you get a USB error, check to make sure the USB are fully plugged in.
- Click "HXRG" on desktop.
- Click to continue.
- Click "Initialize" at the top left of the window.
- Wait ~5 seconds.
- In the pop-up-window...
- Check box "Download Jade2 Firmware".
- "Download Jade2 Register Database" should already be checked.
- Click "Initialize"
- Wait ~20 seconds for the Jade card to initialize.
- Ensure that the "ASIC Main Power" box is checked (top left panel of HXRG testing software).
- In the middle left panel "Detector Configuration" set "# of Detector Outputs" to 32
- In the top left panel press the "SET CONFIG PARAMETERS" button.
- This tells the chips to use all 32 channels for maximum readout speed, instead of just 4.
- In the middle center panel select "Fowler Sampling"
- It can be confusing but "Fowler Sampling" is a button. Just click it.
- "Fowler Exp. time" will ungrey after you click "Fowler Sampling".
- In the top right panel press "ACQUIRE" to take a test image.
- If it looks normal, you are ready to take data!
- You are now free to disconnect the 3 remote desktops.
- Open a terminal...
- "cd ~/igrins_admin"
- "sudo bash icsrun"
- This opens the IGRINS operating software
- The python IGRINS control software wil now open 5 windows
- Now you are ready to use the Data Taking Software. Next, go to the manual for Using the IGRINS Data Taking Software.
- Open a terminal and type...
