The following VI file should be kept running; "D:\e1039\labview_work\TestIR\bos_eos_mostreal_atBOS.vi".
It is to detect the BOS & EOS signals to update the BOS, EOS & SPILLCOUNTER variables on EPICS;
The turn-off/on procedures below are temporary as the configuration is being changed.
The procedure is described by Misha in DocDB 7683 also. We had better merge the documentation when appropriate.
All devices in the slow control rack are connected with the target computer through the interface converters. The hardware configuration is explained in README.md, note_converter.md, etc. in this repository:
https://github.com/uva-spin/Temperature-Pressure-VIs
All virtual USB devices are usually disconnected. You have to connect/disconnect each device before/after you use it via "SX Virtual Link". You can click the icon in the taskbar to bring up the user interface like this.
The "uva-spin" GitHub repository ( https://github.com/uva-spin ) is cloned at "github" on desktop. Our default software to manipulate the repository is "Git Bash" in "Git for Windows" ( https://gitforwindows.org/ ).
You can right-click the desktop and click "Git Bash Here" in the menu, or you can click the icon of "Git Bash" in the task bar. Once a text terminal of "Git Bash" is opened, you can do "cd github/e1039-target-controls", "git pull", etc.
The target computer has to communicate with the EPICS server to set BOS, EOS and SPILLCOUNTER. We follow this procedure.
There are several ways of disabling the automatic Windows updates on Windows 10 Pro. Let's use "Group Policy" on the target computer. It was disabled by the following procedure on 2021-10-25.
The standard configuration about the Windows update is available at "Settings" -> "Update & Security" -> "Advanced Options". It allows us to only postpone an update up to 35 days.
kind of a log-book.
