KOOLS: Kyoto Okayama Optical Low-dispersion Spectrograph
Manual: Startup / Stop Procedures
Startup procedure
- Boot sanjigen and login as a user "messia".
- Vacuum Pumping
- in sanjigen, open one terminal and type:
cd prog/vac/ ./tpg252a_mon kools_dewar_vac[yyyymmdd].log
- Note: we do not reccomend using the vacuum gauge during science observations, because it is an electric-noise source.
- in sanjigen, open one terminal and type:
- Start Cooler
- monitor Lakeshore temperature controller.
cd prog/lakeshore/sio ./lakeshore_mon
read data will be stored on the file "lakeshore.log" - temperature monitor graph
tempgraph.pl
The plot will be updated every minute. You may change the size of the window.
- monitor Lakeshore temperature controller.
- Turn On CCD Power Supplies:
- Turn on 5.8V source
- Press "Output" of the 5.8V source
- Turn on +-15.8V +-5.8V source
- After one moment, press four buttons: they will turn into green
- Press "Output" of +-15.8V +-5.8V source
- Turn on heater power source
- Press "Output"
- Turn on 30V switch
- open one terminal in sanjigen, for messia server.
cd messia/local ./messia localhost localhost
- open another terminal for messia client.
c cd messia/local ./init.sh localhost 0 0 ./m localhost vcheck 0 1
Check output. If error(s) occur, Turn off power supplies and turn on, then try again. (In vcheck measured voltages are compared with values written in a file /home/messia/messia/local/mf_bias.dac.)If first 4 channels have bad values, try:
cd ~/messia/local ./m localhost 'MFRONT' ./m localhost 'pset_all_dac 0 1' ./m localhost vcheck 0 1
Errors should be gone in most cases. -
In the same terminal for messia client (at ~/messia/local )
./m localhost 'KOOLS'
-
start motor server and KOOLS UI.
startkools.sh
This script opens one terminal executing motor server (at ~/prog/motor/motorserver) and start the java KOOLS UI program. - Start Auto Guider programs.

Stop procedure
- Terminate KOOLS GUI by a click of close box of the window (or Ctrl-C for a terminal).
- Press Ctrl-C on the motor server terminal window.
- Terminate Messia server. At any terminal window,
cd /home/messia/messia/local ./m localhost 'reset_all' ./m localhost 'exit'
-
Turn off the heater power source and MFront power supplies in the reversed order of turning on (see photos above):
- 30V switch
- Press "output" of the heater switch
- Turn off the heater switch
- Press "output" of +-15.8V +-5.8V source
- Press four buttons: they will be turned off
- Turn off +-15.8V +-5.8V source
- Press "output" of 5.8V source
- Turn off 5.8V source
- terminate sanjigen, if required.
- Before Detaching Cassegrain Guide Unit from the telescope, you should move X and Y stages to ORIGIN to prevent interference with volts.
