The Hobart26m uses the DBBC backend for these experiments rather than the mk5 rack. Unfortunately, the FS only supports controlling one “rack” at a time, so you need to edit configuration files and restart the FS to swap between the backends. There are some instructions included below.

• DO NOT RUN SLOGIT! This script assumes that you are using the mark4 backend and will create an unusable proc file! Instead, run drudg directly. As oper@hobart
  1. cd /usr2/sched/
  2. scp oper@pcfshb:/usr2/sched/hob006.skd /usr2/sched/
  3. drudg hob006.skd
  4. Check equipment with option 11 - it should be set to DBBC and Mark5B for the rack and recorder.
  5. Return to the main menu and produce a proc file with 12 and snap file with 3
  6. Copy a previous experiments proc file across to current experiment (these are fairly heavily customised at the moment) with cp /usr2/proc/hob005ho.prc /usr2/proc/hob006ho.prc
• On hobart, terminate the FS and then run the following commands:
  1. cp /usr2/control/mk5ad.mk5ho.ctl /usr2/control/mk5ad.ctl
  2. cp /usr2/control/equip.dbbc2.1gbps.ctl /usr2/control/equip.ctl
• Restart the FS with fs and then check that the correct mark5 is selected with
  1. mk5=dot? - this should return a “normal” response, as for the AuScope antennas.
• Load the hob006 procedure as per normal and make sure that there are no errors reported by the FS after running setupxx.
