Login on LN computer

The LN computer lives in the GRETINA net and since December 2015 it is accessible from NSCL network

  • login on gateway machine nsclgw1.nscl.msu.edu
  • login as ln on gretina-gln1.nscl.msu.edu (35.8.35.167)
  • Remember: “liquid nitrogen two for gretina”
  • from a1/a2: ln@gln1

LN scripts

They are found in ~/scripts. The main LN program (gln_master) is a job run by root and not directly accessible by the user. Interactions happen via scripts. Most interesting is run-gln-ui.sh, the User Interface.

  • run-gln-ui.sh: User Interface, 'help' gives option
  • run-send-alarm.sh: Add your email here for receiving alarms
  • run-log.sh: Add your email here for receiving logs
  • run-log2.sh: Add your email here for receiving logs after each fill
  • run-log3.sh:
  • run-send-alarm-wd.sh
  • finish_fill.sh: script executed after fill attempt
  • run-gln-master.sh
  • run-mail-que-view.sh
  • run-time-sync.sh
  • run-backup.sh
  • run-tlog-and-plot.sh
  • run-dlog-and-plot.sh
  • run-mail-que-flush.sh
  • run-view-master.sh: Output of the LN master process

Making long term T plots:

  • on gln machine go to ~/other/thistory-dev
  • run there ./run-thistory.sh XXX with the last day as input parameter
  • results th.pdf and d.pdf are written in ~/plots
  • uncomment/comment different templates in script for covering different time ranges

LN configuration

The LN configuration file is found as ~/gln/gln.fig. It is self-explanatory. If this file got updated, use run-gln-ui.sh script and the command “load” in there. Note: After a “load” in the UI all detector fill schedules are gone! You need to do a “ton x y z …” or “fill x y z after h:mm”.

Navigate Detector Temperature(detailed) Logs

  • gf3 “file”, y value asked should be 1-6
  • sp “file” loads new spectrum
  • sp x, ds: display spectrum x (2, 3 are the LN PT100, 1 min per bin)
  • dl l r, ds: x-expand [l:r]
  • y0 num, ds: y-scale minimum
  • ny num, ds: y-scale range
  • ct num, ds: spectrum rebinning by num
