A0. Startup cima (either right-click from the desktop, or type cima --X), choose the 'new' version. Type a2034 and click 'line' A1. click 'ALFA' and 'Select receiver now' A3. Load/Save state -> load config_2may05.gui A4. 'pointing control' -> select one of the positions then 'point' this moves the telescope to blank sky (I hope) A5. While telescope is slewing: A5a. 'Backend control' -> Wapp as backend -> check config and 'configure wapp alfa' click 'adjust power' and look on the alfa quicklook to ensure the temperature values are blue. A5b. 'IFLO setup' -> 'New and improved iflo setup' -> check that freq is at 1350.0 MHz and bw=100 MHz and 'APPLY THIS SETUP' Note that this steps A1 - A5b are not actually necessary, since they are all put into the observing script. B1. log into galfa with ssh -i galfa_key galfa@galfa1 B2. run /var/diag for 30sec (ctrl+c to exit) B3. run /var/levels_a2034 B4. run /var/a2034 (use ctrl +c to exit) B5. Start vncviewer (use /var/vncviewer galfa1 on a host exterm (i.e. not galfa1) B6. run command_erik from cima (use command line button). (This will run for about 10 mins and stop by itself.) C1. Simply run the 'command_drift' script file in cima. C2 go home. N.B. It's probably useful to take notes of the slew time, and wait time for the beginning of each scan. Generally, the interleaves have a much longer wait time than do the first scans. If they are BOTH too long, then the script_writing file should be tweaked. last updated 050507.
