Standard 'SetFiles' for MosaicII (8 CCD mode)

This is a log of an actual run of SetFiles for MosaicII (SetFiles for MosaicI should be very similar). It demonstrates the setup for the standard 8 CCD Mosaic mode.

NOTE: the items in bold below are typed by the support person setting up the instrument. The (return) means simply hit the return key.

Installing files...

The old copy of /etc/Environment was saved as /etc/Environment.BAK
The old copy of /etc/Init_CPU_Info.nex was saved as /etc/Init_CPU_Info.nex.BAK

The support person should then start up Arcon ('(Re)start Arcon' in OpenWindows menu) and check to that the system boots. It is probably best to answer "no" to the "synchronize parameters?" query during this startup. This allows for changes to be made in the parameters (such as detpars) before sending parameters out to the instrument and detectors.

It is usually recommended to do an 'End Arcon Session' after completing the setup, and then a '(Re)start Arcon', answering 'yes' to the "synchronize parameters?" query this time. This is not absolutely necessary, but it does confirm that the system will restart for the user when he/she does a '(Re)start Arcon' later.
