software

There are different programs used by this setup, some are auxiliary programs that are needed for a specific device, others are needed only for a specific installation process and some are used to download/upload firmware. There is a distinction between program/software and auxiliary program/software, the auxiliary ones are only used for the installation process. For example if make is needed to install, for example software A it gets listed as a auxiliary software.

For the screen to work properly we use a Nvidia graphic card (Quadro 600). To install is follow this steps:

  1. sudo ubuntu-drivers devices

This shows a list of recommended drivers, chose the one that corresponds to the graphic cards

  1. sudo apt install nvidia-driver-390
  2. sudo reboot
  3. nvidia-smi

The last command should display some information's regarding the graphic card.

LabVIEW 2022Q3

To install LabVIEW you need a ni account. Download the iso file, make sure you have downloaded the correct version in regards to operating system and version compatibility. After you have downloaded the iso file follow these steps:

  1. Install libncurses5 and libopenal1 from the repositories of your Linux distribution.
  2. mount the iso file
  3. Run the install script INSTALL as root (e.g.,sudo ./INSTALL)

If you go with a different linux/LabVIEW version the guide above may not work, but there exists a Guide for different verisons of linux/LabVIEW

WADERS

To install WADERS copy the files from the server in the Directory /home/damic/Applications/WADERS to your PC. Afterwards go to the directory that include the setup.py file and follow these steps:

  1. pip3 install -r requirements.txt
  2. pip3 install .
  3. cd ~/Applications/WADERS/bin
  4. chmod +x *
  5. nano ~/.bashrc
  6. add the line: export PATH=“$PATH:/your/WADERS/directory/bin”
  7. source ~/.bashrc
  8. sudo nano home/damic/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pysimdamicm/io/data_formats.py

change np.int and np.float to int and float

GPIB-USB

To use a gpib-usb connection you have to install the driver. For this follow these steps, missing directories have to be made accordingly:

  1. Download the newest version of the driver here.
  2. Install the kernel
    1. make
    2. sudo make install
  3. Install the user
    1. ./bootstrap
    2. ./configure –sysconfdir=/etc
    3. make
    4. sudo make install
  4. replace the original gpib.conf file in /etc/gpib.conf with this modified file
  5. move the config file to /etc/gpib/
  6. make it executable sudo chmod 644 /etc/gpib/gpib.conf
  7. copy the ni_usb_gpib file from your_linux_gpib_dir/usb/ni_usb_gpib/ to /lib/udev
  8. download the newest firmware and unzip the necessary ones
  9. move the firmware files to /lib/firmware/, then rename the folder ni_gpib_usb_b to ni_usb_gpib
  10. modifie the /lib/udev/ni_usb_gpib file accordingly
  11. sudo apt-get install fxload
  12. create a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ named 99-linux_gpib_ni_usb.rules with this content
  13. initialize the config file: sudo gpib_config
  14. initialize the udev rules:
    1. sudo udevadm control –reload-rules
    2. sudo udevadm trigger
    3. sudo udevadm settle
  15. test communication: sudo ibtest

If you get an error that looks something like this: …. libgip: IBOPENDEV ioctl failed ibdev error …. it means that your system uses the gpib.conf file located in /usr/local/etc/gpib.conf, which is wrong to solve this either modify this file according to the above one or use this command:

  1. sudo ln -s /etc/gpib.conf /usr/local/etc/gpib.conf
  2. sudo gpib_config

This should resolve the error. If you update your kernel version, the kernel module gets nopt automatically moved into the new kernel, either change back or recompile the kernel module. To use the GPIB with a LabVIEW script you need also to install the ni-488.2 driver. After the installation make sure that all ni kernel modules are loaded.

When trying to install the ARC66 it will give the following Warning: modules_install: missing 'System.map' file. Skipping depmod. Which can be ignored. When trying to install Owl it will say: Invalid source file! This comes from an error in the Install file itself, scroll down until you find the line, which specifies the source file, there change the file name to OwlFiles3.6.2.tar. You have to be super user to start the installation process. For both cases make sure that all the files have read write and execute permission:

  • sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/directory

If you update the kernel you have to create the kernel module again.

CCDDrone

After you downloaded the files and extracted them in your desired directory follow the README file, but before you enter the make command change line 51-61 in the CMakeLists.txt file to the following:

add_executable( CCDDExpose CCDDExpose.cpp ) target_link_libraries( CCDDExpose LeachController -lCArcDeinterlace -lCArcDevice -lcurl ${CFITSIO_LIBRARIES})

add_executable( CCDDExposeC CCDDExposeC.cpp ) target_link_libraries( CCDDExposeC LeachController -lCArcDeinterlace -lCArcDevice -lcurl ${CFITSIO_LIBRARIES})

add_executable( CCDDStartupAndErase CCDDStartupAndErase.cpp) target_link_libraries( CCDDStartupAndErase LeachController -lCArcDeinterlace -lCArcDevice -lcurl ${CFITSIO_LIBRARIES})

add_executable( CCDDPerformEraseProcedure CCDDPerformEraseProcedure.cpp) target_link_libraries( CCDDPerformEraseProcedure LeachController -lCArcDeinterlace -lCArcDevice -lcurl ${CFITSIO_LIBRARIES})

add_executable( CCDDApplyNewSettings CCDDApplyNewSettings.cpp) target_link_libraries( CCDDApplyNewSettings LeachController -lCArcDeinterlace -lCArcDevice -lcurl ${CFITSIO_LIBRARIES} )

Then follow the ReadME fileagain.
