Expert Only

In the case where the operation of the power supplies can not be done through EPICS, each power supply can be accessed directly through a terminal.  After login into clon10 (see above), the command

 > tsconnect hpshv1

will bring up the display for the power supply powering the top SVT volume and

 > tsconnect hpshv2

will bring up the display for the power supply powering the bottom volume.  After each of the terminal interfaces come up, hitting N (next) will refresh the window. It will also allow you to navigate between screens
The following table provides a map from a power supply channel # to a physical location on the SVT:
