CODA Startup

go to injector -> spin -> mott measurement control and open scripts there see "startcoda help" for diretions on using CODA

Obsolete way:

 From an accelerator machine: ssh -X idaq@opsmdaq0

Note: idaq is the injector DAQ account and uses ssh authorized_keys for login - no need to enter password

Execute the following few steps:

% startcoda

Note: Instead of using the above script, we used this old way to do it: Old Procedure to Start CODA

From Run Control panel, select in the following order (Note: if any of the selection is already completed, move to the next step):

Sessions => inj
Configurations => Cool => Mott_Sample
Platform => Connect
Configure

Prestart (or Start. Note that Start combines both Prestart and Go)
Go

To stop a run:

End

To start a new run, select:

Prestart (or Start. Note that Start combines both Prestart and Go)
Go
End

and if you want to apply a change or you need a new configuration:

Reset
