Login/password

Check the label behind the monitor. Check the keyboard layout (set to en, it will start fr).

After power-up

Routine checks that all hardware is properly configured and actions to take in order to restart monitoring programs.

Network setup

First check network situation

[rd53daq@lpnws5145 ~]$ ip route
default via 134.158.152.1 dev enp0s25 proto dhcp metric 101 
134.158.152.0/22 dev enp0s25 proto kernel scope link src 134.158.155.145 metric 101 
172.17.0.0/16 dev docker0 proto kernel scope link src 172.17.0.1 
172.18.0.0/16 dev br-4de46983819a proto kernel scope link src 172.18.0.1 
172.19.0.0/16 dev docker_gwbridge proto kernel scope link src 172.19.0.1 
172.20.0.0/16 dev br-43e4a3f8dda4 proto kernel scope link src 172.20.0.1 
192.168.10.0/24 dev p3p2 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.10.1 metric 100 
192.168.122.0/24 dev virbr0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.122.1 

Monitoring programs

Open a terminal and start a screen session, then enter the python2 environment mqtt2 and start the mqtt-to-influxdb forwarder

[rd53daq@lpnws5145 ~]$ screen
[rd53daq@lpnws5145 ~]$ cd mqtt-to-influxdb-forwarder/
[rd53daq@lpnws5145 mqtt-to-influxdb-forwarder]$ conda activate mqtt2
(mqtt2) [rd53daq@lpnws5145 mqtt-to-influxdb-forwarder]$ sh ./start_fwd.sh 

then type ctrl-a c to open a new terminal

[rd53daq@lpnws5145 ~]$ cd mqtt-to-influxdb-forwarder/
[rd53daq@lpnws5145 mqtt-to-influxdb-forwarder]$ conda activate mqtt2
(mqtt2) [rd53daq@lpnws5145 mqtt-to-influxdb-forwarder]$ sh ./start_fwd_climats.sh 

then type ctrl-a c to open a new terminal

[rd53daq@lpnws5145 ~]$ cd mqtt-instrument-interface/
[rd53daq@lpnws5145 mqtt-instrument-interface]$ conda activate mqtt
(mqtt) [rd53daq@lpnws5145 mqtt-instrument-interface]$ python mii-climats.py --mqtt-user canary1 --mqtt-pass atlasitk --mqtt-host localhost

GPIB Adapter

Check the device number on the bus (look for 'Agilent'), for example:

[rd53daq@lpnws5145 ~]$ lsusb | grep Agilent
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0957:0518 Agilent Technologies, Inc. 82357B GPIB Interface

In this case it's Bus 003 and Device 003.

Then load the firmware using the proper bus/device numbers:

[rd53daq@lpnws5145 ~]$ sudo fxload -t fx2 -D /dev/bus/usb/003/003 -I /usr/lib/firmware/agilent_82357a/measat_releaseX1.8.hex 

Now repeat the operation:

[rd53daq@lpnws5145 ~]$ lsusb | grep Agilent
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0957:0518 Agilent Technologies, Inc. 82357B GPIB Interface
[rd53daq@lpnws5145 ~]$ sudo fxload -t fx2 -D /dev/bus/usb/003/004 -I /usr/lib/firmware/agilent_82357a/measat_releaseX1.8.hex 

After this second restart the light on the adapter should turn green.

Check YARR PCIe card
