Chapter 4. AccelNET Console Commands

These are commands which may be used after the control system has been started. They provide an easy to use method for starting up the accelerator equipment.

Most, not all, of the commands listed here have been implemented in the menus. You may type the command in the terminal window or you may invoke the command via the menu.

The command system has been implemented in a way that allows it to be easily customized for an individual operator's taste or for individual site requirements.

machine <arg>

Manipulate basic accelerator systems.

on

Turns on all basic machine items (DS, FC, BM, TPS, etc). It does not turn on the charging system, chains, etc.

off

Turns off all basic items and CH, RS, BLW (in case the operator forgot).

misc

This command is optionally present in the machine script and is used mostly for maintenance.

source <arg1> <arg2>

Manipulate source parameters.

S1 off

Turns source S1 off and resets values to 0.

S1 on

Turns on source S1 and sets defaults, also sets SETUP SrcSel = S1.

S2 off

Turns source S2 off and resets values to 0.

S2 on

Turns on source S2 and sets defaults, also sets SETUP SrcSel = S2.

acc <arg>

Accelerator control.

off

Turns blower (BLW), chains (CH), charging power supply (CPS) and rotating shaft (RS) off.

cold

Turns BLW, CH and CPS off.

warm

Turns BLW, CPS TPS, and RS on. Sets default values for TPS and charging system. If "acc run" command is issued, accelerator terminal will charge up and operate "benignly" (approximately 1 MeV).

run

Turns the chains on.

stop

Turns the chains off.
