This page describes, or has links to descriptions of, all scripts used at the 40m.

Scripts that run all the time (usually):

Name of script	Computer where it lives	What it does	Notes
PSLWatch	op340m	Runs lockFSS, lockMZ, lockPMC when appropriate
[#autolockMCmain40m autolockMCmain40m]	op340m	watches the MC. Runs mcup and mcdown
FSSSlowServo	op340m	Watches C1:PSL-FAST_MON and servos C1:PSL-SLOW_DC
blinky	op340m	monitors C1:PSL-AUTOLOCK_BEAT and C1:IOO-MC_AUTOLOCK_BEAT
[#RGAlogger RGAlogger]	op440m	gets data from RGA nightly	Runs as a cron job
autoburt	op440m	backs up EPICS control settings hourly	Runs as a cron job
rsync.backup	fb40m	backup minute trend files and /cvs/cds/caltech to the archive in Powell-Booth	Runs as a cron job
ndsproxy	nodus	Provides NDS access from off-site
EPICS gateway	nodus	Provides DAQ channel access from off-site
others

RGA logger

RGAlogger In $SCRIPTS/RGA, it polls the RGA for data and settings, and puts these into two files:

RGA-date.data

RGA-date.settings

both in the $SCRIPTS/RGA/logs directory. It also checks the file $SCRIPTS/RGA/alarms/RGAalarms.spec for limits on certain AMUs, and compares the current data to the limits. If the current partial pressure of a given AMU exceeds its specified limit, it puts that information into a file called RGA-date.alarms. Run as a cronjob every day at 12.05 am by op340m.

autolockMCmain40m

autolockMCmain40m is the Mode Cleaner autolocker script. It watches the mode cleaner transmitted power level, and runs the appropriate script when certain conditions are reached. The subscript mcup ramps gains, engages boosts, and turns on the WFS. mcdown is the inverse of mcup. It can be enabled or disabled by using a button on the C1IOO_LockMC.adl screen.

This script runs all the time on op340m. It's written in csh, and is fairly robust. It may crash when c1psl is rebooted. A cron job on op340m occasionally checks whether it's running and restarts it if it isn't.

Any changes to the mode cleaner states (lock acquisition or in-lock) should be made in the mcup and mcdown scripts, in the $SCRIPTS/MC/ directory. autolockMCmain40m should not be edited.

bobafett.pl

Location: $SCRIPTS/starwars/
Name: bobafett.pl
Use: run without additional arguments

This script can be used to manually align a component (TM or TT-PZT stage) in the PIT and YAW using the keypad on the keyboard. It does exactly what the (1D) sliders do in the EPCIS screens, but you don't have to move the mouse around when swapping axis.

When started, the user will be presented with a menu with the choice of all the components of the 40m.

With the Num Lock 'ON', the up(8) and down(2) arrows will move the component in positive and negative PIT respectivily. While the left(4) and right(6) will move in positive and negative YAW, respectivily.

To change the step size, you use the (7) and (9) keys to increase and decrease, respectivily.

The change is written directly to the '_COMM' channel of the component.

When one of the PZT stages is chosen, the step size is automatically multiplied by 10k (which will be shown).

The script can be ended by pressing 'q'.

'''autolockMCmain40m''' is the Mode Cleaner autolocker script.  It watches the mode cleaner transmitted power level, and runs the appropriate script when certain conditions are reached.  The subscript '''mcup''' ramps gains, engages boosts, and turns on the WFS.  '''mcdown''' is the inverse of '''mcup'''.  It can be enabled or disabled by using a button on the C1IOO_LockMC.adl screen.

This script runs all the time on [[op340m]].  It's written in '''csh''', and is fairly robust.  It may crash when [[c1psl]] is rebooted.  A cron job on op340m occasionally checks whether it's running and restarts it if it isn't.

Any changes to the mode cleaner states (lock acquisition or in-lock) should be made in the '''mcup''' and '''mcdown''' scripts, in the $SCRIPTS/MC/ directory.  '''autolockMCmain40m''' should not be edited.
