Set up environment

• Log onto any machine of the interactive pools psananeh or psanafeh:

  ssh -Y pslogin ssh psananeh

• Make sure you source (once per session) one of the following scripts;
  • for bash shell:

    . /reg/g/psdm/etc/sit_env.sh

  • or for csh shell:

    source /reg/g/psdm/etc/sit_env.csh

• Run (once per session) the following command which will set up a environment for the latest analysis release:

  sit_setup ana-current

  At this point you are ready to go.

Start hdf5explorer

The hdf5explorer should be started without any parameters by the command:

    hdf5explorer

All necessary parameters will be set through the GUIs of this program. By default all configuration parameters are taken from the file "hdf5expconfig". If this file is missing, the default values of parameters will be used at start, until the "hdf5expconfig" is not created.

Exercise 1: exploring content of hdf5 file
