4. The Linux TCS PC for acquisition and autoguiding.
== Starting QUARTZ ==
The technicians would have set up the PC running QUARTZ in diagnostic mode. You need to exit from this and start the software in your own directory.
* Click Exit in the top right of the QUARTZ window, and answer ``No'' when it asks you to save a file.
* In a terminal, navigate to /data/ccd, create your own subdirectory, copy the file ''giraffe.gir'' into there, change to that directory and run QUARTZ from there:
cd
mkdir ''xyz''
cp giraffe.gir xyz
cd ''xyz''
quartz
When prompted, select ''MUS1'' from the pulldown menu, then select ''Local Setups'' and ''giraffe.gir'', ''Ready'' and ''OK''.
Each GIRAFFE run is assigned a '''run number''', QUARTZ will prompt
you to enter. To determine your run number, look in the GIRAFFE log
book located in the 1.9-m dome book rack and look for the last entry.
Increase that run number by one. If you are a returning observer and
wish to use the same directory, you will need to change your run
number by deleting the file ''disk.file'' from your directory.
At this stage QUARTZ will spend some time initializing the CCD
controller and checking the status of the GIRAFFE head. To check that
things are working, you can read out the CCD by selecting the ''Read
CCD'' item from the ''CCD'' drop-down menu. This will display
information regarding the bias reading and the maximum CCD count.
