Instructions for setup of geno embedded instrument The following assumed the instrument is labeled geno6. Created 4:57 PM 8/12/00 D.Cline for MUSE experiment A. Running geno consoleap B. Running the long-term test macro C. ---------------------------------------------- A. Running geno consoleapp ---------------------------------------------- The consoleapp will run upon power up. Using telnet, you can access geno6 1) Start->run->telnet geno6 2) Should receive the -> prompt 3) Enter -> taskSuspend tShell 4) Hit 2 times 5) You should now see the consoleapp main menu 6) Select 9) Set Terminal Mode When done enter 8)Resume tShell, to resume to the terminal shell. Now the consoleapp is still running, but the tShell has priority over the standard input and output so you will not see the main menu. ---------------------------------------------- Running the long term test macro ---------------------------------------------- 1) Start with carousel tube 5 empty, and all other tubes filled with 4. Filter order is not important. From the main menu Enter Select 2) Configure Select 1) Set RTC Time Enter 16:00:00 Select 5)Set next macro step Enter y Enter 1 Select 3) Sample mode, .... Enter 2 Enter 23:05:00 Enter R) Return to main menu The real-time clock should now be 23:00:00 GMT(16:00:00 PST), and the next sample will begin in 5 minutes at 23:05:00. Before exiting, take a quick look at the System Status Enter 1)System Status It should return something like --------------------System Status--------------------- Today is Sunday 08:21:2000 Julian day:234 Instrument id: DELTA Instrument location: DSK Relative humidity: 70 % Water fault sense: 0 Current PST time is: 16:00:46 Current GMT time is: 23:00:46 Instrument is running in MANUAL mode Elapsed time since power up is 0 hours 17 mins 10 secs --------------------Loaded Macros--------------------- ----------------Sample Configuraiton------------------ Mode: SCHEDULED Next sample time: ---------------------------------------------- Starting and stopping the consoleapp ---------------------------------------------- STARTING consoleapp If the application is NOT running, to launch the consoleapp task enter -> slipDelete 1 -> ld < /doc/conapp.out -> taskSpawn "conapp", 250, 0, 16384, consoleapp BE CAREFUL NOT to have multiple versions of consoleapp running simulateously, or expect strange behavior... STOPPING consoleapp The consoleapp task is normally shutdown by hitting the 'x' key. (Don't forget to suspend the shell with ->taskSuspend tShell to capture the stdin/out). If 'x' fails, you can manually delete all tasks related to the geno consoleapp. Do this as follows: -> td "conapp" -> td "ui" -> td "AlarmMgr" -> td "GenoPerioridHandler" -> td "GenoEventHandler" -> td "Macro" -> td "Rotate" ---------------------------------------------- SLIP connection ---------------------------------------------- Edit c:\windows\hosts.sam file to include geno6 IP address MBARI assigned geno6 = 134.89.12.31 UCSC assigned mbari2 = 128.114.63.72 1) Execute COM2SLIP driver on desktop by clicking on "Shortcut to COM2SLIP". Don't wait for the SLIP connection to come up. Modem power/link is intermittent, so the modems will only link when the instrument has powered it's modem on. 2) Execute Connection Keeper. Connection Keeper will keep the COM2SLIP connection alive between instrument power cycles. Basically Connection Keeper services the pop-up windows that come up when the SLIP link is lost, and hits "enter" for you. Just let it do the work... ---------------------------------------------- Geno cal file setup ---------------------------------------------- File are transferred to the target using FTP. If you want to edit the existing files, first get the files by running the batch file getcfg.bat When done editing, FTP the files to the geno6 target using putcfg.bat**see note below first. IMPORTANT. Your changes to geno.cfg will be overriden when the consoleapp shuts down. This is because the geno.cfg files maintain instrument state changes such as filter count per tube, sampling mode, and the next macro step to execute. Therefore, only execute putcfg.bat AFTER the consoleapp is shutdown. Shutdown the consoleapp by selecting 2)Configure 2)Sampling mode, etc... Enter 0 for DISABLED mode. R)Return to main menu. X) Exit. This will shutdown the application without powering down the instrument. Now run putcfg.bat. ---------------------------------------------- Recalibrating the encoder ----------------------------------------------
