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.
oper@hobart
cd /usr2/sched/
scp oper@pcfshb:/usr2/sched/hob006.skd /usr2/sched/
drudg hob006.skd

- it should be set to DBBC and Mark5B for the rack and recorder.12' and snap file with
3
- 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:
-
cp /usr2/control/mk5ad.mk5ho.ctl /usr2/control/mk5ad.ctl
-
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
-
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''.
