== LRS2 and Virus (camra) Procedures == * '''Installing new spectrograph configuration files''' * When the spectrograph arrives on site, verify the spectrograph unit number and the controller number. * In your working copy of trunk, do `svn up`. * Check in the directory `./camra/etc/` to verify that the configuration files have been checked in. The files should be `spectro-nnn.conf` and `cntl-mmm.conf` where `nnn` is the spectrograph unit number and `mmm` is the controller number. * Look at the `spectro-nnn.conf` file and verify that the `controller-id` value matches the delivered controller. * Edit the file `virus_server.conf`, * Add `spectro-nnn.conf` to the list `spectrograph-configs` if it is not already in the list, * Add `cntl-mmm.conf` to the list `controller-configs` if it is not already in the list. * Commit the changes to `virus_server.conf` to the svn repository into trunk. * Install the new configurations in the operational directories, * Use the `het_release` script with the `instruments_config` target * I have a script in `/home/liberty/jrf/HetDevel/jrfwork/doinstall` that does this but you will have to change the user name for your account on hetdex-pr.as.utexas.edu. * The install process requires your password to run `sudo` during the installation process. * See DevelInstall for more information about the installation process. * '''To clear out the ram disk on lrs2 or vdas''' * insure data directory in /hetdata has owner hetdex:hetdex and group write permission * run as hetdex on lrs2 or vdas $HET_SRC_ROOT/camra/testing/proxy-pivot-[virus|lrs2]-data.sh !`find /mnt/camra_ramdisk/ -name "*.fits"` * '''Reset the PCIe interface cards if''' * the ccd array failed during an exposure * if vdas hangs during reboots at the Initializing PCIe step * '''Horizontal sync images''' If some or all of the virus images appear to have a horizontal sync problem. The it may be that one units has the internal clock active while the other spectrograph are using the multiplexor clock signal. [[Image(internal_clock.jpg)]] The fix is to see if the internal clock jumper is installed and remove it if so. (Add picture that shows how to locate the internal jumper.)
