How do I .... ? (This links to specific trouble-shooting pages)

A step-by-step tutorial:

This page and its linked pages will allow you to walk through the 12.2.2 control system step-by-step, similarly as you would be taught at the beamline by a staff scientist or engineer.

As a user you will sit in front of 3 monitors and 2 sets of keyboard and mice.

The right two monitors concern the beamline operation, the left most concerns the control of the Mar345 image plate reader.

The mar terminal is separate for historic and trouble-shooting purposes, and will be explained separately. In general, all remote actions will be controlled by the experimenter from within one single PC, namely BL1222ACQ.

3 other PC's are running in the background and will be accessed by the experimenter via VNC from within BL1222ACQ.

These are: 

• BL1222BCS:
  This machine controls beamline-specific elements (BCS = Beamline Control System).
• BL1222ES
  This 32 bit machine runs most of the motor drivers (which are often not compatible with the 64 bit BL1222ACQ). It runs in the background and you should only in exceptional cases have to restart something on it)
• DEC2038
  This is a UNIX machine controlling the Pilatus detector
