Initializing a Karabo Environment for an Instrument¶
To initialize a Karabo environment for a specific instrument please use the instructions for one of the following scenarios:
In the Hutch/Control Room¶
The control network client PCs should already point to the correct Karabo environment, so usually
karabo-gui
should suffice. If the karabo-gui command is not found, try
source ~/karabo/activate.
If this does not work either, please ask an instrument scientist or call CAS OCD.
On exflgateway - GUI only¶
Log onto exflgateway (Logging onto exflgateway). Then activate the most up-to-date Karabo environment and start the GUI:
source /opt/karabo/karabo/activate
karabo-gui
In the login dialog,
Fig. 1 The Karabo logon dialog.
connect to the GUI server corresponding to your instrument:
| Instrument | Hostname |
|---|---|
| SPB | spb-rr-sys-con-gui1 |
| FXE | fxe-rr-sys-con-gui1 |
| SQS | sqs-rr-sys-con-gui1 |
| SCS | scs-rr-sys-con-gui1 |
| MID | mid-rr-sys-con-gui1 |
| HED | hed-rr-sys-con-gui1 |
On exflgateway - iKarabo¶
Log onto exflgateway (Logging onto exflgateway). Then activate the most up-to-date Karabo environment and start the GUI:
source /opt/karabo/karabo/activate
You will now need to set-up the broker information for the respective instrument:
export KARABO_BROKER_TOPIC=<INSTRUMENT>
export export KARABO_BROKER=tcp://<SASE>-br-sys-broker-1:7777
where you should fill in <INSTRUMENT> and <SASE>:
| Instrument | <INSTRUMENT> | <SASE> |
|---|---|---|
| SPB | SPB | sa1 |
| FXE | FXE | sa1 |
| MID | MID | sa2 |
| HED | HED | sa2 |
| SCS | SCS | sa3 |
| SQS | SQS | sa3 |
Now you can run iKarabo:
ikarabo
Verify correct settings, but obtaining a list of devices for the instrument
