'''FLI simulator installation notes'''

Notes of the C-RED simulator installation.

A) Powering the computer:

1. Operating system is Kubuntu, which is recommended to use at chara.

2. It booted directly, without promting the password. I saw the booting was very quick.

3. computer name:simu-desktop and user: simu

4. uname -a, command results:
Linux simu-desktop 3.19.0-25-generic #26~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 24 21:16:20 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

5. lsb_release -a, command results:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty

6. df -h, disk space

credoneDemo imageformats libicuuc.so.51 libQt5SerialPort.so.5 uninstall

9. credoneDemo is the real time diaplay executable for the detector.

B) Powering the first light data acquisition electronics:

The real time display has following buttons:

1) Important image acquisition settings
a) Build bias and flat. Once they are build there are other clicable options to use them.
b) Gain range selection button
c) Exposure time (co-add of frames) settings for correlation double sampling (CDS) and single readout modes.
d) Image crop option
e) Save images buffer allows to acquire detector images with a user selectable number of frames.
f) Various image display settings

2) PELTIER Cooling system:
g) power monitor
h) temperature monitor

C) Data acquisition: By changing the exposure time (or varying the number of frames), test detector images are acquired, for practice.

Test_3000.raw
Test_1000.raw

'''Future work notes'''

1. For first phase, after discussion with John, I understand that we will replace only the detector (in C-RED one; out PICNIC). It means that we will use the existing python GUIs which are optimized for taking the background, plotting the power spectrum and the fringe searching. It means, first, I need to understand the commands working behind the FLI real time display GUI and apply them to the existing MIRC python GUI. Second, the C-RED software currently produces *.raw extension data and that needs to converted into FITS extension.

Also, C-RED data acquisition on a new computer with different camera cards. Optimize the MIRC DAQ software for the C-RED detector array and speed.

3. Second phase, upgrade and develop more appropriate GUIs in the software practices of CHARA (with GTK software).

3. Third, optics upgrades and so on.

'''FLI simulator installation notes'''

Notes of the C-RED simulator installation.

A) Powering the computer:

1. Operating system is Kubuntu, which is recommended to use at chara.

2. It booted directly, without promting the password. I saw the booting was very quick.

3. computer name:simu-desktop and user: simu

4. uname -a, command results:

Linux simu-desktop 3.19.0-25-generic #26~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 24 21:16:20 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

5. lsb_release -a, command results:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty

6. df -h, disk space

8. cred installable sources located at: /home/simu/firstlight/

creddemo-src icons libicui18n.so.51 libQt5Gui.so.5 platforms
credoneDemo imageformats libicuuc.so.51 libQt5SerialPort.so.5 uninstall

9. credoneDemo is the real time diaplay executable for the detector.

B) Powering the first light data acquisition electronics:

The real time display has following buttons:

1) Important image acquisition settings
a) Build bias and flat. Once they are build there are other clicable options to use them.
b) Gain range selection button
c) Exposure time (co-add of frames) settings for correlation double sampling (CDS) and single readout modes.
d) Image crop option
e) Save images buffer allows to acquire detector images with a user selectable number of frames.
f) Various image display settings

2) PELTIER Cooling system:
g) power monitor
h) temperature monitor

C) Data acquisition: By changing the exposure time (or varying the number of frames), test detector images are acquired, for practice.

'''Ideas'''

1. May be look into the idea of making tools on the real time display of the detector image
