1. The mfx- accounts are not able to edit the .py files for hutchpython. Therefore, log in with your UNIX account:

    ssh <username>@mfx-daq

  2. Go to the hutch python folder and edit the .py file using eg. Vim:

    # Main hutchpython code:
cd /cds/group/pcds/pyps/apps/hutch-python/mfx/mfx
vim beamline.py

# Small methods and scripts, not experiment specific:
cd /cds/group/pcds/pyps/apps/hutch-python/mfx/mfx
vim macros.py

# Experiment specific hutch python code:
cd /cds/group/pcds/pyps/apps/hutch-python/mfx/experiments
vim <experimentcode>.py
  3. Save your changes using :wq! (if using Vim), as it will otherwise not allow you to make edits

  4. If you are a contributor to the MFX GitHub, you can stage and commit the changes you've made. Some GitHub etiquette can be found on the LCLS users page for BTX.
