* This computer runs the trackerioc, and has a fraction of "james legacy code". The configuration code is located in the mice epics repositories. At present there is only the epicsDev version present:





    10
    
    
    
<pre>/home/epics/epicsDev/</pre>

* The central "deposit" for tracker information, code fragments, analysis scripts, configurations, etc.. is:





    13
    
    
    
<pre>/home/epics/tracker</pre> This information is backed up to the MLCR backup system (see: [[online:MICENETBackups]]) and is shared with other tracker applications via nfs. If re-making the machine, restore this folder, and export, by adding the following to /etc/exports:

/export/tracker miceacq16.micenet.rl.ac.uk(rw) miceacq17.micenet.rl.ac.uk(rw)





    17
    
    
    
</pre>Also, set: <pre> mount --bind /export/tracker /home/epics/tracker </pre> Add the equivalent line to fstab.

To configure stuff:

    32
    
    
    
# Launch the "AFEIItServerInterfaceUI", Load configuration file, Hit Initialise, then Play button.





    33
    
    
    
# Launch the "AFEIItConfigurationUI", Load configuration file, Hit  Initialise, then Configure All (this takes 10mins - things look like they crashed, they did not, have faith).

* The tracker "deposit" should be mounted in /home/daq/tracker.





    39
    
    
    
* Scripts to run TrDAQ can be found in the scripts folder. Try to use these scripts, they put the data somewhere sane, with a sane name!

The code for calibration should live in the "deposit", in mice-tracker-calibrations.

* MySQL database.





    49
    
    
    
* MySQL interface from python:

** <pre>cd /home/daq/Software/ExtApps





    51
    
    
    
wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/M/MySQL-python/MySQL-python-1.2.5.zip





    52
    
    
    
unzip MySQL-python-1.2.5.zip





    53
    
    
    
cd MySQL-python-1.2.5





    54
