Kirrily Rule 2013-04-09 16:47 To start running Gumtree, double click on the icon on the desktop. Two windows will automatically open and you will be logged in as “Manager”. (Why manager, why not user???) This quick start guide assume SICS is configured for your experiment, and that it is running. If it is not, go to the section

Open one of the previous batch files by double clicking on a .tcl file in the Project Explorer window. This will appear in the Tree View panel above. You can edit this and save it with a new file name (File -> Save as). To run this file, drag it into the Buffer Queue. You can either press Play, or Validate to check the file. All commands listed with > should be typed into the SICS command line in Gumtree, or in the black sicsclient window opened via PuTTy (Taipan ICS profile). Either of these will drive the instrument. Only those commands executed from Gumtree will be printed into the Log file.

In the Scripting control window, choose Load Script -> analysis -> live data to show a live plot as the counts are taken. In this window, you can tick (or untick) autofit (for a Gaussian fit), and normalise (which normalises to time) You can also change which detector you wish to see the counts in: bm1_counts = monitor bm2_counts = detector You can also control the fitting range in this window You can add past data sets to the Plot 2 window (beneath the liveplot window). Highlight the plots you wish to add, be sure you have the correct detector choice and x-axis parameter selected, then click on the button “Import Data Files to Plot2”. At any time, to interrupt SICS you can click on the red button, or type >>INT1712 3
