== Notes made for September 2008 session for P617 == 1. Start the correlator (DFB3): * login to pkccc3 as corr/********* * > sdfb3 1. Start TCS * login to a Sun (sagitta) as observer/******** * {{{ > atcsver > tcs }}} * to get latest version of TCS, and start it * select '''Digital Filter Bank (time-binning)''' * select '''Expert mode''' * configuration file is p617 * cycletime = 4s ******** See whiteboard for passwords. To examine data: 1. Copy from the correlator computer: {{{ > scp corr@pkccc3:/data2/SDFB3_2/2008-09-29_hhmm-P617.rpf . }}} 1. Load into the ''pol'' format: {{{ > pload 2008-09-29_hhmm-P617.rpf > gcopy 2008-09-29_hhmm-P617 2008-09-29_0753-P617 }}} 1. 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.
