How to start the pool session with the NCS

Starting the gopool daemon

This daemon is used to upload the heterodyne scans. Ask the operator to do the following:

  • ssh -X mrt@mrt-lx3
  • ./gopool

Login at the control room

Start Pako in mrt-lx1

  • Go to "paKo" virtual desktop.
  • Open a paKo terminal (same passwd as for the pool account).
  • goPako (setup the pako session).
  • pakitoDisplay (open a window with the paKo output).
  • pako (enter in the paKo program).
  • @ wbolo (setup symbols, etc.)
  • @ last (run last saved commands)

Start the observation monitoring in mrt-lx4:0.1

  •     - Go to "ObsMonitor" virtual desktop.
    - Open a paKo terminal (same passwd as for the pool account).
    - > antDisplay (start the observation monitoring) {X} Deprecated  -- '''Only click on the Desktop link that says antennaMonitor'''
    - Open the web browser konqueror and open various Tab at the following URI (should be done on the Operator Screen):
       - file:/ncsServer/mrt/ncs/monitor/scanInfo.html  (Job Informations)
       - file:/ncsServer/mrt/ncs/observationQueues (look at the pool directory for the job submitted)
       - http://mrt-lx1/mainWiki  (internal wiki with informations for NCS, Pool, etc: Use it as a feedback for NCS and Pool)

Start Xephem

  •     - In the "Xephem" virtual desktop (mrt-lx4:0.0) open the xephem sw.
    - All the .edb files for the different projects should be available from there.

Display telescope position in Xephem

. 

   > azElToXephem.py

Open the pool database sessions in mrt-lx7:0.1

  •     - Ih the virtual desktop "DB Pool" and "DB LST" open a Iceweasel web broswer and logon to the IRAM  database with the account: observer/passwd (ask operator or AoD for passwd)
    - Open in the virtual desktop "BoloLog"  a pool database and the automatic BoloLog for bolometer observations.
    - If the observations are heterodyne, open the PakoLog sheet (OpenOffice) according to the project.

<!> The virtual desktops maybe different, they are mainly for information.

Start the Mopsic Online data Processing (the monitor)

ASK THE AOD IF THE MONITOR IS RUNNING IN THE VNCVIEWER

IF NOT, ASK THE AOD TO RESTART IT

NEVER START MOPSIC MONITOR TWICE IN THE MONITOR DIRECTORY

THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS FOR OTHER DIRECTORIES

  • Go to the virtual desktop "Mopsic Monitor" in mrt-lx7:0.1 

ssh flexible@mrt-lx* !look at the above warnings!!! 
cd monitor
mopsic @monitor  ! this starts the online data processing

For checking pointing and focus: 

 - choose the monitor that is most confortable for you, eg, one were you can copy paste the corrections.
 - Open a terminal
   - slogin mrt-lx3 (inside the pool account)
   - > cd reduction
   - > mopsic
       - @ psn ! for reducing the pointing
       - @ fsn ! for reducing the focus

For technical purposse: 

     - > cd monInst
     - > mopsic @monInst ! this starts a monitor to display possible instabilities in the data

Meteo Monitoring

  • Go to the 30m homepage and check the weather pages for the Taumeter readings and weather predictions.
    • Outdated: 
  •      - In the virtual desktop "Taumeter" and "Meteosat" in mrt-lt70.0 open the monitor at the URI:
       - http://mrt-lx2.iram.es/tau/taumeter.html
       - http://www.inm.es/web/infmet/satel/sespan.html

Start Mira & Mopsic

  •     Mira:
    - Open a pako terminal in the pool account.
    - cd mira
    - mira
    - mira> @init  ! Look at the Mira manual then.

    Mopsic:
    - Open a pako terminal in the pool account
    - ssh flexible@mrt-lx3  (Ask the Operator or AoD for the password)
    - cd monitor
    - mopsic

Note: clean from time to time the monitor directory in flexible account with:

  • - rm *LOG*; rm *MES*
