Using the f/5 Hub Calibration Lamps

Start Up

If completely shutdown

(taken from "Using SAO Calibration Lamps During Non-Hecto Runs" in the MMT docuwiki):
  • Second-Floor West: flip on SAO knife-edge switch. Big ethernet hub on top of (SAO) racks should come alive
  • Third-Floor East: reconnect green-red hubbell in back of rack #35. Looking up in same rack both pulizzi and ethernet hub below it shoul dbe powered up.

Bringing up the GUI

  • Control Room:
    1. Log on to 'lewis'
    2. To confirm you can actually reach the pulizzi, in an xterm type ping domecal or ping 192.168.1.199
    3. Assuming you got a positive response from the ping, start domecal server by typing srvinit domecal restart
    4. Start domecal GUI with dcalgui & (for an example of the GUI goto: MMT docuwiki)
    5. To enable the lamps in the hub, type calbaffle-enable on, you will be asked "You are sure that the hectospec positioner is not mounted on the Telescope?" enter yes. On the GUI the box at the bottom which was red and stated Cal Locked should change to green and state Cal Enabled.

Using the hub lamps

  • At the bottom of the GUI there are two radio buttons beside the Baffle heading, Thar and Continuum. Click these to turn the lamps on as desired.

Using the wall mounted lamps

  • All four buttons at the top of the GUI (nw, sw, ne, se) will be red. Turn them all on sequentially by clicking them (only once, they do not change immediately). When powered up buttons will change to green, the rest of teh GUI will remain unchanged.
  • Click continuum button at the top of the row of lamp names. Everything goes red except the four name buttons at the very top, and the temperature for each of the four boxes will start displaying
  • Click which ever source lamp you wish to expose. Regardless of the source, *do not* keep them on indefinitely since all the lamps have finite lifetimes.

Shut Down

Bringing down the GUI

  • Control Room:
    1. Turn off any lamps which remain on (all lamp buttons should be read - both wall mounted and hub lamps)
    2. Turn off all four wall boxes (nw, sw, ne, se) by sequentially clicking the currently green buttons. They will turn red.
    3. Close domecal GUI
    4. Stop domecal server by typing srvinit domecal stop

To completely shut down

  • Third-Floor West: disconnect green-red hubbell in back of rack #35
  • Second-Floor East: flip off SAO knife-edge switch
