FLI simulator installation notes

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 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda5 116G 5,4G 104G 5% / none 4,0K 0 4,0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup udev 3,8G 4,0K 3,8G 1% /dev tmpfs 767M 1,2M 766M 1% /run none 5,0M 4,0K 5,0M 1% /run/lock none 3,8G 92K 3,8G 1% /run/shm none 100M 20K 100M 1% /run/user


7. free -h, memeory 

            total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached

Mem: 7,5G 3,7G 3,8G 153M 64M 1,0G -/+ buffers/cache: 2,6G 4,9G Swap: 1,9G 0B 1,9G


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

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
