| - | Check the Google module allocation spreadsheet, and if the Master schedule to see what size modules need to be loaded for the next couple of experiments.

The information is updated daily by a script, if the experiment is not listed it is because the observing notes file hasn't been posted , so look at a previous experiment of the same type in previous experiments for an idea of the data space required. If the sched or vex file is available, drudge the experiment and check the summary file which has a data total at the end. |

| - | Only when an experiment has been correlated (search IVS email, or use the useful scripts below) can the data be deleted from module. With Dimino running, ensure that the module only contains the correlated experiment data. The labels may be incomplete and not always to be trusted. On the Mark5 command line use <code> DirList | less </code> to scroll through the list of scans on the disk to check before you delete. | + | Only when an experiment has been correlated (search IVS email, or use the useful scripts below) can the data be deleted from module.

| - | When you are sure, double check yoiu have the correct module and start tstDIMino at the command line, turn off the data safety with <code> protect=off </code> and then <code> reset=erase </code> to clear the data from the module. Check free space and vsn OK with <code> rtime? </code> and <code> vsn? </code>. Take the red sticker and experiment label off the module, ready for re-use. | + | |

| - | Once data is deleted and modules are ready for re-use they need to be shipped to Yg and Ke, with enough held at Hobart to cover upcoming experiments. Modules need to be shipped back to Yg Ke at the same rate as they arrive or greater. Use Star Track Freightmaster and log in as Brett. login details are on the module rack in the tape room. | + | Once data is deleted and modules are ready for re-use they need to be shipped to Yg and Ke, with enough held at Hobart to cover upcoming experiments.
