Spectrometer Rotation

OBVIOUSLY NEEDS MORE DETAIL

Just a few logbook entries from December.  

• Snapshot of one of the Rotation GUIs

DRAFT SPECTROMETER ROTATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before we begin... Rotating the Hall-C spectrometers is pretty easy ... maybe too easy! Remember that you're moving a very large, very heavy object that can do lots of damage if it hits something, runs over something, or pulls on a cable or rope that is tied to something else. If the Hall-C technicians or engineers have certified the spectrometers as 'ready for rotation' then it is safe to proceed -- unless there is the possibility that you or somebody else left a cable, ladder, hose, etc. in the wrong place since the technicians checked. Just THINK before you act.

Rotation GUI Screen

 The rotation control screen is part of the Spectrometer Magnets GUI. If you need to start it, the magnet screen is brought up on any hcdesk machine by the command go_magnets.

• Open the Rotation GUI by clicking on the ROTATION button on the top left of the magnet screen:
