Getting started with your experiment

Working at the High Resolution Diffractometer (HRD)

1. Login as user e10xxx at pc5099.

The steps 2. - 5. can be performed by clicking on the UserPanel.
Then proceed with step 6.


2. Open a terminal window and start detector (MARCCD) software:
   type: StartMar3 enter (note: case sensitive input)
   alternatively type: ssh e10xxx@marccd3 '.sls/X06SA/data/common/share/blcntl/marccd3_start'


3. Open another terminal window on pc5099
   type: server_start enter
   
   Wait until the server is ready for commands from the client, then


4. Open a third terminal window on pc5099
   type: gclient_devpc5099 enter
   


5. Open a forth terminal window
   type: alignment3


6. Now you can change, if necessary, the standard settings of the beam stop


7. or of the beam size and focus


8. Read the current wavelength (energy)


9. Change energy if necessary, using IDL.
   In another window start IDL and type sete, value (in keV) or sete, value, /wave (in Angstrom)


10. Press the enter the hutch button in the GUI


11. Mount the crystal


12. Press the leave the hutch button in the GUI


13. Sample alignment and loop centering


14. Adjust data collection parameters


15. Take first image


16. View data and process data on pc3507
