2.2. euser¶
The euser machine is directly connected to a monitor in the control room and is intended to be used by observers in order to run auxiliary observation tools such as quicklook the Imager and Basie.
The machine main configuration parameters are the following:
| PARAMETER | VALUE |
|---|---|
| hardware | Tower PC |
| CPU | Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz |
| RAM | 8GB |
| OS | CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) |
| Kernel | 3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64 |
| hostname | euser.noto.ira.inaf.it |
| eth0 | 192.167.187.16 |
2.2.1. USERS AND GROUPS¶
Users and groups are defined so that data access is possible to the observers and according to the escs machine schema, this permits to mount NFS filesystems from escs machine without issues.
We have user euser belonging to group acs, and acs id is 335
2.2.2. NFS¶
The /archive filesystem from escs machine is mounted via NFS into this machine. The binding is realized via fstab:
192.167.187.17:/exports/archive /archive nfs rw,soft,auto,intr,proto=tcp,port=2049,users,exec 0 0
2.2.3. IDL¶
This is the only machine running IDL 8.3 in this setup. IDL is installed via original CD-ROM available at Medicina station and install location is the one suggested by default:
/usr/local/exelis
We then created a directory for IDL third party libraries in:
/usr/local/idllib
and installed there Coyote and astron libraries. You can find original versions of the libraries at the following links:
Remember to add th edirectory to the IDL path and to include all subdirectories recursively, the easiest way to do that is via idlde->window->preferences.
2.2.4. SDI and Quicklook¶
The Single dish imager can be downloaded from the SRT scicom wiki page at http://scicomsrt.pbworks.com/w/page/54294508/IMAGING%20ANALYSIS and has been extracted to the same location in:
/usr/local/idllib/SDI
SDI has ds9 as a dependency, which can be download from http://hea-www.harvard.edu/RD/ds9/site/Download.html or you can find in /root/software/ directory. Extract ds9 and copy it in:
/usr/local/bin
You can find the fits_look.pro idl procedure in /root/software directory. The procedure has been copied in /usr/local/idllib/ as the rest of custom idl programs.
