Routine running without changes:

On the deepthought window where the 'newrun' was done do

endrun

After it finishes restart with

newrun

To see the data files get a window on piptof1

cd to scratch1/piptof/data and do

ls -lh to see sizes.

Endrun if file size exceeds 500Mb.

STATUS: Written by JCM after consulting JRMA, NOT FULLY TESTED!
 

To start up from cold, or after a (re)-configure:

If a run is going on deepthought do
endrun

and after it finishes normally

kill

ps ax

should then show no ..../acqu/.... stuff, If it does

kill -9 pid where the 'pid' number comes from the ps ax.

then do

vme_i                                                          [You may need to do

configure

and then answer the questions if you want to change something eg. to tagging efficiency running.]

On piptof1

Kill off the xcontrol window by clicking on the Control/exit button (top right) and exit the emacs window (click on file and drag to exit) and on window used for the run_acqu (see below)

killacqu

should remove any floating buttons, controlh, xemacs -f control start,sort, and DataServer processes lurking around ( - can be seen with

ps ax)

ipcs

should show no things with perms 600 (rather than 800) with sizes markedly different from 196608 eg. 16777216, or 131072. or semaphore arrays with perms 600.

Once all floating processes are killed

On deepthought do

cd $acqu                                                                           gets to correct directory

[you can do a configure now if necessary and you forgot before]

vme_s

then on piptof1 cd $acqu gets to correct directory

run_acqu (-x) vme                                                       the -x does not write to disk

then on deepthought

ctrl

newrun

and put in comment and confirm run  number  (answering no allows you to change it) the on piptof1 xcontrol adc 200 to see spectrum adc 200 etc.
