Procedure for new texan software:

Connect the bridge to the PC and the GPS as per usual. Connect Bus cable to the trans case. On the bridge PC the login prompt will appear:

password: dasmaster

1. Connect the MAC to the bridge using a crossover cable.

2. On the MAC create a terminal window and cd /Users/jscott/Texan if using refract (or /Users/pancha/Texan if using shock) and

type source ./source-me. Let's call this window "Window A".

** Make sure it is a csh window. If it is not, go to the menu bar, click on “Terminal”, and then change the setting to csh. Open another terminal – it should have csh along the top now. Let's call this window "window A".

In this window, Window A, type:

source ./source-me.

3 . On the Mac a create a second terminal window ( f+alt+n) and type ssh reftek@134.197.33.30 to log into the bridge. Let's call this window, “Window B".

password: dasmaster

4. Connect power to the trans case and then connect the Texans.

Deployment.

5. To program the texans, in window A type

enum -i 134.197.33.30 0 -V

cgps (^C to stop it once you see you have GPS lock “L”).

setbridge (this will say “time now set” when done.)

batt -b 3 (3 is the minimum voltage level – if a battery is below this level, “batt” will report which Texans have a voltage below this level. Re-enter command with more favorable voltage).

6. Now create an event table. The command is “txnetm”.

In Window B type

txnetm

Directory: /home/reftek

name-of-event-table (Create your event table and remember the name you save it to. You can check that it is correct using vi. OR view it on the Mac (see below).)

** warm up length: 300

starting event table time should be entered as: yyyy:ddd:hh:mm:ss

Sample rate: 200

Event length: 120

Interval between events: 150

enter ‘q’ to end event table

7. We now need this event table in the directory /Users/jscott/Texan on the Mac. To do this, in window A type

ftp reftek@134.197.33.30

password: dasmaster

get name-of-event-table

bye

**If you have not done so using vi on the bridge (Window B) check that the event table is OK on the Mac using your desired text editor or vi.

8. Now program the Texans. You should be able to just type the following in window A.

tdeploy -i 134.197.33.30 -p name-of-event-table -b 3

**But I get in error about the IP address being wrong, but this is not true. (try erasing daslist.txt in the directory you are working if this happens. command: rm daslist.txt)

9. If tedeploy fails do the following list of commands:

enum -i 134.197.33.30 0 -V

cgps (^C to stop it once you see you have GPS lock “L”).

reset

junk

para -p name-of-event-table

tims (takes a longer time than expected)

stat (then in stat says everything is OK)

acqe (Texans blink green then stop blinking)

Post deployment download

10. In window A type:

enum -i 134.197.33.30 0 -V

11. In window A type:

cgps (^C to stop it once you see you have GPS lock “L”).

setbridge (this will say “time now set” when done.)

tretrieve

12. If tretrieve does not work the offload sequence would be:

enum -i 134.197.33.30 0 -V

acqd

tims (takes a longer time than expected)

stat (then in stat says everything is OK)

offl

13. In window B cd to the ”data” directory.

cd /home/reftek/data

Now run

trdpeek –i *TRD

This checks that all the files are OK. If they are not, go back to steps 11 or 12. (If you have reset the time, “tims” more than once because of a problem downloading the files will display as NOT OK. This is probably because the time was set repeatedly and the data is good.)

14. Now we want to move the data to a processing machine.

If you want to transfer to the Mac leave the cross-over cable connected.

If you want to transfer to the Suns, replace the cross over cable connected to the bridge to the internet cable.

15. Now, either on the Mac or a Sun do the following:

On the Mac (window A) or the Sun (terminal window on Sun), in a terminal window, cd to the directory you wish to deposit the data.

Now type:

ftp 134.197.33.30

password: dasmaster

cd data (data is the directory on the bridge were the TRD files were previously downloaded)

bin

prompt

mget *TRD (Check that the files transferred before closing ftp connection)

bye

To turn off the bridge

Either in Window B or on the PC of the bridge type

bhlt (in directory /home/reftek)

Then type the password “tscript”
