Background

Control of DEIMOS motors involves a communication chain which begin with the motor control software (a.k.a., dispatchers) running on the instrument control host computer (keamano), goes through a Lantronix terminal server in the DEIMOS barrel, and then into the Galil controllers.

Communicating with the Galil Controllers

Normally the Galil controllers converse only with the dispatcher processes running on polo, and thus to communicate with the Galil you must terminate the corresponding displatcher. Consult the Galil stage chart to determine which dispatcher you need to halt.

Getting onto Galil 1

1. Connect to keamano:

   	ssh kics@keamano

2. Halt motor control software:

   	deimos stop dispatcher2.1

3. Connect to Galil controller 1

   	telnet 192.168.6.4 3005

Getting onto Galil 2

1. Connect to keamano:

   	ssh kics@keamano

2. Halt motor control software:

   	deimos stop dispatcher2.2

3. Connect to Galil controller 2

   	telnet 192.168.6.4 3006
