Preparing the FIF Gui for Night Work  (01/01/04 Graver)

 

 

  1. On KVM Switch #2, on the “frijole” monitor, open up the “shortcut to FIF Gui” icon.
  2. Click on the white arrow in the upper left corner of the Gui to start the software, and wait for the message center to say     “Initialization is Complete”.
  3. Click the “ON” buttons (green) that say “LB1”, “LB2”, and “CB” (upper left of Gui).
  4. Turn to Channel 3 on the big TV screen and you should see the fiber arms of FIF.
  5. On the toolbar, Click “Movement”, and then click on “Stow/Home HRS”.  (**while moving the probes, you will get an error message.  Just press  continue.  Do NOT press abort!) You must wait until it is completely done homing before you attempt to click anything else (except “continue” on the error message Gui).   Once HRS is done homing (green light goes out), click “Stow/Home MOS A”; again, do not click anything else in the Gui until the probe is done homing (green light goes out).
  6. Type 242,000 in the “HRS Probe Position” box and click the green “Start” button under “HRS Probe”. 
  7. Click position update to be sure the value gets to ~242,000 and check visually on TV for stopped motion.
  8. Now that both probes are homed and the HRS probe is moved to the correct position, click off on the “LB1” and “LB2”  and click the red button labelled “Both Cameras Off”.

 

***Make sure glycol is on when Gui is started up!  And if Gui is having any ‘issues’ at any point, click the bluish-purple “End Program” button on the right part of the Gui, and start over at Step #2.  (This is better for the software than just clicking File>Exit)
