| + | The summary file, which contains a scan-by-scan summary of the observations including start and stop times, azimuth and elevation, disk usage predictions is a useful resource when checking on the progress of observations. It can be printed out but to save paper it's recommended you view it in a text editor. You can find it on ops2 or ops-serv2 in ''/vlbobs/ivs/sched/<obscode><station_ID>.sum''. | ||

| + | ===== Extra Step For Austral Experiments ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Austral Experiments **may** need to have the proc file edited so that the correct checkmk5 procedure is used. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Open two terminals on pcfs. Enter in one terminal: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code>more /usr2/proc/aust<previous_exp_number><station_code>.prc</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Go to the end of the file and highlight the procedure. | ||
| + | |||
| + | On the other terminal, enter > | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code>emacs -nw /usr2/proc/aust<current_exp_number><station_code>.prc</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Go to the bottom of the file and look at the checkmk5 procedure. It should already be there and the content //between// the ''define'' and ''enddef'' lines should be identical (except the number code in the first line 'define checkmk5 00000000000x' - this is just a date code) . If not, then paste the checkmk5 procedure from the first terminal. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Ctrl x Crtl c and 'y' to save. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This procedure should be done **before** the proc file has been run at all. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **If you do need to edit the proc file after it has been run, follow these directions:** | ||
| + | |||
| + | Open two terminals in the pcfs vnc viewer. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In one enter: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code>more /usr2/proc/aust<previous_exp_number><station_code>.prc</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | This will open the previous experiment proc file. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Then in the other terminal, enter: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code>pfmed</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Then overwrite the current proc file by entering: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code>pf,aust<current_exp_number><station_code>.prc</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Then enter: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code>ed,checkmk5</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Copy and paste the procedure from the previous experiment proc file in the first terminal to the new procedure file in the second terminal. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Then Ctrl x Ctrl c and 'y' to save. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Extra Step For Austral Weekend Experiments ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | For the weekend experiments, an extra command is needed in the first schedule so that it will automatically start the second schedule. Here's what needs to be done: | ||
| + | |||
| + | For each telescope: | ||
| + | - Log on to the pcfs, and <code>cd /usr2/sched</code> | ||
| + | - Edit the schedule file <code>emacs -nw aust<current_exp_number><station_code>.snp</code> | ||
| + | - go to the end of the schedule file (press [esc], then >) and add the following lines: <code>!+1m | ||
| + | schedule=aust<next_exp_number><station_code>,#1</code> | ||
| + | - Then Ctrl x Ctrl c and 'y' to save. | ||
| + | The two new lines will tell the field system to wait 1 minute (for the last checkmk5 procedure to finish), then start the new schedule. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <note>When starting the Saturday weekend session, please also download and drudge the schedules for Sunday!</note> | ||
