MOS

• if emmi punch still doesn't work punching has to be performed @ 3.6
  What follows is not any more available.
  • take emmi MOS plates in EMMI closet.
  • goto 3.6
  • login as mos@w3p6ins in 3.6 mos room
  • start mos tool panel mosuifMOS
  • online mos
  • click on Move STAP after defining position #n just above this key.
  • load a blank plate into position #n
  • DO NOT USE mos tool panel to punch EMMI plates as it only allows EFOSC range
    but open a xterm window
  • cd tmp
  • ftp in *.mask files from where they have been created with xm.
  • type
    punch #n <file>.mask
  • if you have several plates to punch
    • you can create a script looking like
      punch 2 firtstfield00.mask
      punch 3 firstfield01.mask
      punch 4 secondfield03.mask
      punch 5 lastfield00.mask
      and call it for instance allmasks
    • then , after loading blank plates in positions 2,3,4,5
      chmod +x allmasks
      allmasks
      which will punch all masks in row whitout need to stay there to change the plates
  • if it doesn't work , reload punch and Make3.6 scriptps into tmp/ after a cmmCopy xmospan
    (src/)
  • click on Move STAP after defining position #n just above this key.
• unload punched plate from postion #n
• bring all punched plates to EMMI room.
  
• Press EMMI emergency stop button at the center of EMMI cover
• start EMMI Config panel from NTT menu> INS
• load punched masks sequentially
  • move to load starplate
  • load starplate
  • declare MOS#<n>
  • enter in position

• Skip this step if you come with already punched plates.
  • Get the requested punching head from cupboard #1.
  • Open the red EMMI cover.
  • Unplug the connecting cable of the punching head (function #25).
  • Rotate the button on the punching head by 90 deg to release the punching head, then pull it out carefully.
  • Carefully put in the new head and once in position rotate the button on the punching head by 90 deg to lock it in position.
  • Plug in the connecting cable of the punching head (function #25)
  • Install MOS plates into Starplate wheel like normal slits (Except Declaration and Alignment).
  • start mos tool panel from os EMMI panel
  • online mos , load mask and start.
• Close the EMMI cover.
• Declare MOS plates into EMMI configuration panel.
• Adjust punching offset (MOS operation Manual , 2.1.3)
• Click Backup under File submenu.
• Release the emergency stop button.
