| + | * Open Moprin by typing <code>moprin</code> in a terminal. Moprin lets you send commands simultaneously to multiple telescopes. You can specify the telescopes you need, e.g. to select Katherine 12m and Yarragadee 12m only type ''stns ke yg'' into the moprin window. | ||
| + | * Type the following commands, one by one, into moprin (with the **correct experiment codes** ofcourse) <code>proc=r1556$s | ||
| + | exper_initi | ||
| + | log=r1556$s</code> Moprin will replace the ''$s'' with the appropriate station code. | ||

| + | iread | ||
| + | bread</code> | ||
| + | * To configure the mk5, open a terminal and type <code>mk5setup.py r1418 hb-ke-yg</code> with the correct experiment code and the required stations of course. Please not the output of the ''EndDIM'' might say ''dim not found'' or something similar. This is okay as it just means that the process wasn't running when the EndDim command was issued. If the script doesnt break out of a loop, the mk5 hasnt been setup properly. | ||
