Ferdi Franceschini 2008-08-29 16:47 The system of He3 project consists of a polarizer and analyser which are controlled by Labview servers. The two Labview servers run on one machine and communicate with a corresponding SICS driver over TCP/IP. The polarizer and analyser share a single NI I/O board and a HMP2030 power supply. TCP port for polariser – 55011 TCP port for analyser – 55012 TBD: How to get this running in SICS e.g. cd /usr/local/nbi/sics/taipan/ > vim taipan_setup.txt 0 = off, 1 = on Save the file and restart SICS. PolTrigger val Turn the magic box polariser on and off. Allowed val 0 polariser off 1 polariser on AnaTrigger val Turn the magic box analyser on and off. Allowed val 0 analyser off 1 analyser on PolRecord This command will manually trigger a logging event of the polariser parameters: amplitude frequency state The data is appended to a dedicated log file. AnaRecord val This command will manually trigger a logging event of the analyser parameters: amplitude frequency state The data is appended to a dedicated log file. hmpVolt chID val Units: V (volt) set or get the voltage at channel chID. (??? which channel does the 3He system use. ). If val is not provided, returns the the voltage and current setpoints and measurements of channel chID. Otherwise it first sets the voltage of channel chID to val and then as a verification it displays the voltage and current setpoints and measurements Allowed chID ??? What is a reasonable voltage ??? hmpCurr chID val Units: A (ampere) set or get the current at channel chID. (??? which channel does the 3He system use. ). If val is not provided, returns the the voltage and current setpoints and measurements of channel chID. Otherwise it first sets the current of channel chID to val and then as a verification it displays the voltage and current setpoints and measurements Allowed chID ??? What is a reasonable current ??? hmpMeas chID Units: V (volt) A (ampere) get the current and voltage at channel chID. hmpSet chID current voltage Units: A (ampere) V (volt) set the current and voltage at channel chID. (??? which channel does the 3He system use. ). As a verification it displays the voltage and current setpoints and measurements Allowed chID ??? What is a reasonable current ??? hmpOutput chID state get or set the output state at channel chID. If state is not provided, returns the output state of channel chID. Otherwise it sets the output state of channel chID to state. Allowed state on off Explanation of what a command is doing when it is more than just setting a target value. e.g. changing magnetic field in a superconducting magnet. Alerts the user to known operational problems What to do if things go wrong
