Scanner Upgrade Procedure

This page describes the actions that must be taken following a scanner OS upgrade to ensure that certain peripherals continue to function properly.

Pulse sequences

Atsushi's spiral needs external rf pulse files. The location of these is determined at compile-time by the WAVFORMPATH definition. This is currently set to /usr/g/atsushi/. (But I'm not sure which files in there are needed.)

The mux_epi2 sequence needs some files for the verse waveforms (verse_sbX_rfY.[frq|grd|rho]). These need to be in /usr/g/bin/.
E.g.:

 find /usr/g/research/atsushi/verse_sb* -exec ln -s {} \;

General debugging

mgd_termc will open a couple of terminals where the agp and sdc log messages. So you can see what's going on with the psd.

Printing

• Configure the printer with yast
• Install the per-TK module with yast
• Copy the three perl scipts into ~sdc/bin/

1. signa_print
2. signa_print_now
3. signa_tiff_now

• Click to download all three

• Add key config to ~sdc/.fvwm/config.local:

 ###Key Print  A A Exec exec signa_print
 ###           ^ ^
 ###           | |
 ###           | modifier (A=any, S=shift, C=control, M=Meta, N=none)
 ###           any context
 Key F1 A A Popup MenuFvwmRoot
 Key F12 A A Exec exec signa_print
 Key Print  A N Exec exec signa_print
 Key Print  A S Exec exec signa_print_now
 Key Print  A M Exec exec signa_tiff_now

Backups

• install rsync with yast

CNI TV Monitor

Once the upgrade is performed log into the console and configure the NVIDIA driver to clone the console to the Samsung LED in the control room.

1. Open a command window
2. Log in as root: [ $ su - ]
3. Run the Nvidia configuration utility [ $ nvidia-settings ]
4. Set the display mode for the Samsung display to "Clones"
5. Set the resolution to 1920 x 1200
6. Apply the changes and test that the console is indeed cloned (make sure the Samsung display is on and in HDMI/DVI mode)
7. Save to xorg.conf and quit
