- From the FACET control server, first ssh onto mcclogin, e.g. (the -Y is for x-forwarding):
ssh smeuren@mcclogin -Y - Log onto the pi:
ssh e320@e320pi -Y - Start the motor GUI:
python3 ./kim/kim.py
Reset:
- After beam tuning etc. the pi might need to be reset. To this end toggle power supply:
- facethome → Experimenter → Li20 → IP Table Power Strip:
- E320 pico is the Thorlabs pico motor controller
- E320 pi is the Raspberry pi that is controlling the Thorlabs motor controller
Generalities:
- Made accessible on the SLAC network (IP assignment) through SLAC IT; this required to give them access and let them "manage" the device; we still have sudo rights. The software modifications ("chef" script") were carried out by E-320 (SLAC_IT_discussion.pdf)
- The device is shielded from the internet, but we can do software updates and install packages via apt
- Main purpose: access the Thorlabs motor controller KIM 101 (KIM101-APTManual.pdf), which is connected to the pi via USB
