1. Start the correlator (DFB3):
   • login to pkccc3 as corr/*
   • > sdfb3
2. Start TCS
   • login to a Sun (sagitta) as observer/
   • > atcsver to get latest version of TCS
   • > tcs to start TCS
   • select Digital Filter Bank (time-binning)
   • select Expert mode
   • configuration file is p617
   • cycletime = 4s

To examine data:

1. Copy from the correlator computer:

   > scp corr@pkccc3:/data2/SDFB3_2/2008-09-29_hhmm-P617.rpf .
   

2. Load into the pol format:

   > pload 2008-09-29_hhmm-P617.rpf
   > gcopy 2008-09-29_hhmm-P617 20082008-09-29_0753-P617
   

3. Look at the data (uncalibrated). This example shows scan number 3.

   > showscan 2008-09-29_hhmm-P617 -s 3
   

showscan asks for:

• a plot device: the first plot is not useful so give carriage return
• a channel number, then a plot device
  • Graphics device/type (? to see list, default /NULL): /xs (for a screen plot)
  • Graphics device/type (? to see list, default /NULL): filename.ps/ps (for hard copy)
  • > lwp filename.ps from the unix prompt.
