| + | Now make sure you have the correct Mark5 module selected. Type <code>mk5=vsn?</code> and check the serial number against what you think it should be. For the March LBA session, a list of modules agains experiments is given in the [[http://ra-wiki.phys.utas.edu.au/index.php?n=Schedules.LBAMar13|Observing Roster]] page. If you need to change modules use the ''mk5=bank_set'' command. e.g. to change to Bank B:<code>mk5=bank_set=b</code>, then run <code>mk5=dot?</code>to check. | ||
