Back to BL8.3.1 Quick Reference Page
Screen and Strategize as usual. Right up to the point where you
would push the "Collect" button.
Do NOT push "Collect" for data a set!!!
Instead:
rsh homeserver
(It is our fastest computer.)
save_sample.com
The currently-programmed data colection will be saved for later.
This script will take pictures of your crystal and save all the data collection
parameters in BLU-ICE. Your crystal will be dismounted into the robot
dewar for data collection at a later time. (This takes about 5 minutes.)
robot_queue.com
This will tell you how much time the data collections stored in the robot
will take. Do not run over your allocated beamtime! There are no
catches in the system to prevent you from doing this.
cancel.com
This command will allow you to delete a particular sample from the robot queue.
Give it an argument ( 1 or 2 or 3, e.g.) or run it with NO arguments to pick which one to delete.
You can 'control C' to cancel the "cancel.com"
run_robot.com
Before you go home, run this script. This will tune up the beam, remount
and re-align all the crystals you saved with save_sample.com
and collect all the data you specified for each one.
Make sure the Photons are ON.
Don't do anything except watch or just go home.
recover_pins.com
This will remount all your burnt-out pins from the robot, one a time, and prompt
you to remove the sample from the goniometer before the the next one is remounted.
carousel_contents.com | grep
your_name
(where "your_name" is a unique directory name associated with your saved samples.)
This will tell you the location of your saved samples in the CHL dewar.
Lots of Notes on Cool Hand Luke of NO INTEREST to USERS!!!
