* Set up the VNC server on spider:

1. ssh monctrl@spider.physics.upenn.edu
2. at prompt, type 'vncserver -alwaysshared'. note the number in :#.
3. to kill server, type 'vncserver -kill :#'.

* Set up VNC tunnel:

1. on localhost, ssh -L 5901:spider.physics.upenn.edu:5901 monctrl@spider.physics.upenn.edu (don't have to do this...see below)
2. for callbacks: ssh -L 18000:spider.physics.upenn.edu:18000 -R19592:korra.gb.nrao.edu:19592 monctrl@spider.physics.upenn.edu NOTE: don't forget to source /home/sim/sparrow/sparrow.bash on localhost (in this case, korra)

* Connecting vncviewer:

1. on localhost, type vncviewer spider.physics.upenn.edu:1 ...OR...
2. on localhost, type vncviewer localhost:#
3. on spider, vnc settings can be modified in /users/monctrl/.vnc/xstartup

* Secure copy files to spider

1. on localhost, scp ./i386-linux/test monctrl@spider.physics.upenn.edu:/users/monctrl/cryotest/test
2. on localhost, scp ./i386-linux/Rcvr_PAR monctrl@spider.physics.upenn.edu:/users/monctrl/gbt/exec/i386-linux/Rcvr_PAR

* File Paths

1. Rcvr_PAR - /users/monctrl/gbt/exec/i386-linux
2. libRcvr_PAR.so - /users/monctrl/gbt/lib/i386-linux
3. test.cof - /users/monctrl/gbt/etc/config
4. system.conf - same
5. spiderGpibServer.conf - same
6. Rcvr_PAR.conf - same
7. FITS files go in simdata/JUNK

* CLEO

1. to start CLEO, cd to /users/monctrl/Cleo and type mainscreens/CLEO/cleo.tcl; must also have to source gbt.bash

* Setting Environment VARS on spider

1. on spider, type 'source /users/monctrl/gbt/gbt.bash'
2. execute GBT code...

* Check GPIB server and Transporter

1. TaskMaster spider status
2. user TaskMaster spider stop #, TaskMaster spider start#

* IRC/Housekeeping

1. to start IRC: cd /export/home/spider/irc/mustang1/MarkIII ; ./run.sh
2. to start Housekeeping: cd /export/home/spider/irc/HousekeepingDev-k2.6; ./HouseKeeping

* Is the driver running?

1. less /proc aa_info; interrupts should be incrementing

* Problems with GPIB?

1. cd /export/home/spider/irc/HouseKeepingDev-k2.6
2. ./GPIBUtility -d dev12 -t rn -v; enter dev12 at 'Device name:' prompt
3. use qry *IDN? for device queries
4. use cmd SCAN 1 for channel commands
5. use qry RDGR?1 for channel commands
6. ext exits
7. /export/home/spider/irc/HouseKeepingDev-k2.6/DOCS contains a useful README.txt

* Housekeeping settings:

1. DAQ Power Supply: On
2. He3 Heat Switch: On
3. He4 Heat Switch: On
4. He4 autocycle selected
5. Poll Temperatures selected
