* Calo Temperature monitoring plots
** From a terminal, type jmenu and then select "Plots"==>"MyaPlot"
** Right-click within the plot window and select "Load a Configuration"
** Select directory "yaopeng"
** In 8 different plot windows, select configuration files "nps_temp_1.xml"..."nps_temp_8.,xml"

*Setting the Calorimeter angle (SMHS carriage):
**[[Media:C2082_NPS-Survey.pdf | NPS Survey Results]]
** SHMS angle (as defined in magnet gui) = Desired Calo Angle + Offset
** Average offset 16.289 deg.  
** To set SHMS angle, use universal offset 16.27 deg.  Corrections can be made in analysis
** Setting the SHMS to angles less than 28 deg (NPS < 11.7 deg) requires tech support and two people in the hall
