==How to start the pool session with the NCS:==

===Login at the control room===:

•     - Open a session at mrt-lx4: pool/passwd (ask operator or AoD for passwd)
      - Open a session at mrt-lx7: flexible/passwd (ask operator or AoD for passwd)

===Start Pako in mrt-lx4:0.0===:

•     - 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).

===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 
      - 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.

===Open the pool database sessions in mrt-lx7:0.1===:

•     - Ih the virtual desktop "DB Pool" and "DB LST" open a mozilla 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.

===Start the Mopsic monitoring===:

•      - Go to the virtual desktop "Mopsic Monitor" in mrt-lx7:0.1 
       - In a terminal connect to: > ssh flexible@mrt-lx3 (ask for paswd)
       - > cd monitor
       - > mopsic @monitor  (should appear in mrt-lx10:0.1). WARNIG: if a fits file is corrupted, it stops. Just restart it
       - In mrt-lx7:0.0 in the virtual desktop "MonitorAcc" open a terminal and connect to: > ssh flexible@mrt-lx3 (ask for paswd)
       - > cd monacc
       - > mopsic @monacc (start a monitor to check possible acceleration problems with the bolometer).
       - In the "Mopsic" virtual desktop you can open a mopsic session at flexible@mrt-lx3 and > cd monitor; mopsic  (Useful to reduce pointing and focus)

===Meteo Monitoring===:

•      - 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
