Remote Guide:

Typical Setup for Remote Running of Sample Frames (include image with labels)

Remote Components/Commands

Sample Frames
- There are 15 positions on the Sample Frame the following command moves to each position
- > move_to_position 1 (Use 1 thru 15 for positions)

Gripper
- > pickup_n_go (grabs the Sample Frame from the sbin and moves to position 1)
- > drop_to_sbin (puts the Sample Frame back into the sbin slot)
- > gripper_tilt (puts gripper/frame at 45 for Fluorescence measurements)
- > gripper_flat (puts gripper/frame in transmission measurement)
- > gripper_on (gripper will close to secure frame)
- > gripper_off (gripper will open and let go of sample frame)

Sample Frame Vertical Motion
- > sav (motor name for vertical sample movement)
- > umvr sav -5 (is for relative motion of negative 5mm)
- > umv sav 22 (is for absolute motion to motor position 22mm)
Sample Frame Vertical Motion examples
- > lup motor_name relative_start(mm) relative_end(mm) steps time(s)
- > lup sav -5 5 20 0.1

Sample Horizontal Motion
- > sah (motor name for horizontal sample movement)
- > umvr sah 3 (is for relative motion positive 3mm)
- > umv sah 0 (is for absolute motion to motor position 0mm)
Sample Frame Horizontal Motion examples
- > lup motor_name relative_start(mm) relative_end(mm) steps time(s)
- > lup sah -3 5 20 0.1

Sample Bin
- sbin (Sample Bin that holds Sample Frames)
- Holds up to 7 Frames (Slots are 1 thru 7)
- > umv sbin 15 (will move the sbin to Slot 2)
  - position 1 = 0
  - position 2 = 15
  - position 3 = 30
  - position 4 = 45
  - position 5 = 60
  - position 6 = 75
  - position 7 = 90

Detector (Vortex4ME)
- The Detector can be moved from 50 (50mm from Sample Frame) to 200mm (200mm away from Sample Frame)
- > umv det 50 (moves the Detector to 50mm)
- > umvr det -5 (moves the Detector relative minus 5mm)

NX Quick Start Guide - Remote Access

Here are the instructions for accessing beamline workstations:

Login to the NoMachine Portal here: https://delos.aps.anl.gov (either your ANL LDAP username/password or the DM credentials "d<badge>/esaf password")
Select the system you want to connect to, and click the Connect button.
Select an existing virtual desktop, and click the Connect button.

To create a new virtual desktop, select "Create a new virtual desktop", and see the instructions here

At this point, you should be at a Gnome desktop where you can open applications.

You can adjust display settings in the Display settings panel, which you can access by clicking the "peel back" in the upper right corner. NX desktops run better with more network bandwidth. The default settings should be fine for most connections. In some cases however, you may have to make adjustments. For example, on a 15Mbps connection, you may have to lower the Quality level slider to get the desktop to run smooth.
