RPG Stage 0: Preliminary Instructions

Overview Stage 0: Preliminary Stage 1: Pre-Planning

Minimum conditions for Remote Planners

  1. Have a user account on the (gateway) ope-gw machine at ISAS. If there are any problems with the ope-gw machine then use the ssh2 machine - a different account requiring a different password, which all EIS COs should have
  2. You can log into the eisco machine at ISAS (from ope-gw or ssh2)
  3. You can use ssh and scp to access these machines
  4. You have the Solarsoft (SSW) library including the hinode/eis tree, and it is updated regularly (preferably daily)
  5. You must have eis included in your SSW instrument list ($SSW_INSTR)

Important Points for Remote Planning

  1. Clarify your contact telephone number in the Hinode Daily Events/Hinode operation page or in the "EIS observing plan YYYY-MM-DD" emails, to ensure direct communication with the CP and/or other COs
  2. When an EIS upload plan is not completed or CP does not find the required EIS command files by the deadline 14:30 JST on the date of upload, the CP may finalize the whole plan without containing the EIS observing plan. When this happens, EIS observations are safely suspended until a new plan is uploaded
  3. In Post-Planning on the eisco@ISAS machine, you must only run CPT (rpcpt->run) once

Document checklist

Before you start your planning activities, you need the following documents:
  1. Log on to the eisco machine (via the gateway machine) and get the EISCO_INFORMATION_FILE.txt file in the home directory which contains the passcodes for the Hinode telecon and Yugma sessions as well as other useful things.
  2. The EIS Observing Schedule for your week. If you did not receive it directly from Len Culhane, you will be able to get it from the eisops Google account.
  3. If available, a list of engineering studies required to run.
