<title>Running Gumtree</title>
<para>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???)</para>
<para>This quick start guide assume SICS is configured for your experiment, and that it is
running. If it is not, go to the section <xref linkend="status"/></para>

<para>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). </para>
<para>To run this file, drag it into the Buffer Queue. You can either press Play, or
Validate to check the file. </para>
<para>All commands listed with <emphasis>&gt;
</emphasis> 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.

<para><command>Load Script -> analysis -> live data</command> to show a live plot as the
counts are taken. </para>
<para>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:</para>
<para>bm1_counts = monitor </para>
<para>bm2_counts = detector </para>
<para>You can also control the fitting range in this window </para>
<para>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”. </para>
