| ====== Processing log files and shipping the data ====== | ====== Processing log files and shipping the data ====== | ||
| - | The procedure to follow here will depend on whether the data are being transferred to the correlator electronically (eTransfer) or shipped via DHL. | ||
| - | * Remove module from the Mark5B recorder and put a red sticker over the green dot. The sticker will (should) be on the workbench under the whiteboard. | ||
| - | * Go to the printer in the office and put a sheet of sticky labels into the printer's tray (printable side up, and make sure it's the correct size with 7 rows and 2 columns) and note the row and column of the label to be printed to (Counting from the top left of the sheet as you look at it in the tray). | ||
| - | * On pcfshb, run <code>cd /usr2/log | ||
| - | drudg <log file> all <x> <y> | ||
| - | </code> where ''x'' and ''y'' are the row and column index of the label to be printed. for example:<code> | ||
| - | drudg r4457hb.log all 2 3 | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | * Collect the printed label and put it on the front of the module where it says "Library Label" | ||
| - | * Check the destination of the experiment using the [[http://lupus.gsfc.nasa.gov/sess/master11.html|IVS master list]]. | ||
| - | * If the modules are to be shipped to the correlator: | ||
| - | * From the metal filing cabinet in the office, from the drawer marked ''NGS ENCODERS CEDUNA TIMING'' take: | ||
| - | * a DHL airways form, | ||
| - | * a plastic dhl envelope, | ||
| - | * address label for the destination correlator and | ||
| - | * an experiment label sticker . | ||
| - | * Fill out the DHL address following the examples below. Make a note of the billing number on the printed log sheets. %width=900px% http://www-ra.phys.utas.edu.au/~jmccallu/Washington.jpg"Washington" %width=900px% http://www-ra.phys.utas.edu.au/~jmccallu/Bonn.jpg"Bonn" | ||
| - | * Now prepare the comments file for the log/end email: | + | The procedure to follow here will depend on whether the data are being transferred to the correlator electronically (eTransfer) or shipped: |
| - | * First, check the paper logs for any comments or notes. | + | |
| - | * As observer on newsmerd, run <code>~/comments_hb.sh <experiment name></code>. For example: <code>~/comments_hb.sh r4457</code> and it will show you some log extracts and get you to check it's all correct. Afterwards, it will save the end message as ''/vlbobs/ngs/logs/<experiment name>.comments'' | + | ^ From ^ To: ^^^^ |
| - | * Next, run flogit_auscope.pl and follow the instructions. When it asks for a comments file, enter <code>*r /vlbobs/ngs/logs/<experiment name>hb.comments</code>. It will handle the FTP transfer and send a stop message. | + | ^ ^ Bonn ^ Washington ^ Haystack ^ VLBA ^ |
| - | * If the modules are being shipped: | + | | Hb | eTransfer | eTransfer | ship | ship | |
| - | * If the ares mailserver is working then use your webmail to print off a copy of the email. Otherwise, use <code>emacs /vlbobs/ngs/logs/<experiment_name>hb_end.mail</code> and print off one copy. | + | | Ho | eTransfer | eTransfer | ship | ship | |
| - | * Now you need to enter the shipment info into the NRAO VLBA tracking system. Go to [[http://magnolia.nrao.edu/track/]] . It will ask you for a user name and password which you should get from Brett but which is also on a sticky note on the wall above the fax machine. | + | | Ke | eTransfer (*) | ship | ship | ship | |
| - | * Select the correlator destination and press the ''Make a shipment'' button. | + | | Yg | eTransfer (*) | ship | ship | ship | |
| - | * In the next screen, change the shipper to DHL and fill in the left hand box with the following information. The system requires a very particular format. e.g.:<code>DHL airwaybill number | + | | * = modules are shipped to Hobart and then eTransferred ||||| |
| - | #R1328hb | + | |
| - | USN-0074/960/1024 USN-0074/960/1024</code> The experiment code needs to be preceded by a hash and the module name (the third entry) need to be entered twice with only a single space between them. Make sure you press ''Enter'' after the second module entry too. The full name also needs to be used, as above. | + | Regardless of whether the data are to be shipped or eTransferred please follow these notes on [[operations:documentation.ivs.commentsfile| preparing the comments file and transferring the logs]]. |
| - | * Press the ''Submit Shipment'' button and then ''Record Shipment''. | + | If data are being eTransferred, the transfer can be started from Hobart if they are going to Bonn, but for Washington, the transfer is started from the correlator. |
| - | * Finally, print two copies of the ''Shipment Record for HB'' screen | + | |
| - | * Cover letter/Customs declaration - Next go to the office and use Brett's linux machine (radst1). | + | * Notes on making a [[operations:documentation.ivs.BonnETransfer|eTransfer to Bonn]] |
| - | * Run OpenOffice Writer and have a look in "recent documents" for a file with a name like''BONN_R1327.doc''. Choose one which has the same destination this module. Alternatively, open the folder ''/home/breid/Manager_public/'' and open a file directly. Again, choose one that has the same destination. First, save the newly opened file to a name that indicates the name of the experiment being processed, e.g. ''BONN_R1328.doc'' to avoid overwriting the original. | + | |
| - | * Edit the experiment name, date, DHL code and the name of the sender. | + | Some additional steps are required when shipping modules and are done at the observatories: |
| - | * Save it again and print 5 copies. | + | ===== Shipping media from Hobart ===== |
| - | * Get the oldest box from the storeroom and remove any old labels. | + | * [[operations:documentation.ivs.hbpaperwork1|Prepare the shipping paperwork for Hobart]] |
| - | * Get the module casing from inside the box and screw it onto the module using the screws in a ziplock bag - this is normally near the whiteboard in the control room. | + | * [[operations:documentation.ivs.hbpaperwork2|Complete the paperwork, pack the disks and ship them]] |
| - | * Put the sealed module inside the box together with: | + | |
| - | * A copy of the shipping record, | + | ===== Shipping media from Katherine ===== |
| - | * one of DHL declarations and the ''hobart 12m has completed...'' email. | + | |
| - | * Tape it up tightly, attach the address and experiment labels. | + | ===== Shipping media from Yarragadee ===== |
| - | * On the Experiment label, record the name, Box 1/1, DHL AWB#344... where AWB#344 is the billing number. | + | |
| - | * Attach the clear plastic pouch to the box and leave the DHL waybill and three copies of the shipping declaration on top of it from Brett to sign. | + | == Useful odds and ends == |
| - | * The final DHL declaration and Shipping Notice should be kept with the printed log, and left on the box for Brett to file. | + | - [[operations:documentation.ivs.useful|Useful log filtering commands]] |
| - | * Finally, check Brett's address book (on manager) for DHL-pickup. Give them a call to arrange collection. When they ask what the contents are, say "Computer parts". The account name is "University of Tasmania radiotelescope". They'll send around a van to collect it. | + | |
