Please note the new procedure for updating the TPC pedestals: 1) do the regular TPC pedestal run, as prescribed by the operator checklist, record data to spool and hpss. 2) on the operator desktop, activate the (new) "tpcped" icon. This will open an xterm window with an ssh connection to opus. 3) enter the operator password on opus. -) alternatively, login to operator@opus and run "tpcped.perl". 4) the tpcped.perl script will find the last pedestal run in the spool area and run it through the pedestal calculator. The per-run results are saved in opus:~daq/tpcpedestals. 5) (not implemented yet) after the pedestal calculator finishes, check the pedestal results on the Web. 6) answer "yes" to the question "install the new pedestals in the DAQ?" 7) the program will copy the new pedestals into ~daq/config. 8) the new pedestals will be used when the next run is started. -- Konstantin Olchanski Physics Department, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Long Island, New York olchansk@bnl.gov
