We continue to troublshoot the external to internal scan control interfaces between the PC's and the RAITH hardware seeking resolution to the streaking and non-freezing of the scanning of the LEO screen that was affecting exposures. A work around was developed last night and we have had several successful writes on the system and we will be bringing users onto the tool overnight to test their logins. I hope to qualify the system for resolution and performance tomorrow morning after RAITH releases the tool back to me...

We have now turned off the TCP/IP communications and resu,ed using REMCON.exe serial interface between the RAITH and LEO computers. Here what to follow for success: 1. Start on Right hand computer we call LEO. Click desktop ICON called SMARTSEM or you can press [START] + [PROGRAMS]+[SMARTSEM.exe] login as normal if you have established a new LEO account otherwise: New Users use the training login passed newbie. Experienced Users use the testuser login passwd test. 2. LEO computer [START] + [PROGRAMS]+[SMARTSEM]+[REMCON.EXE] to start the remcom serial comms. interface... 3. RAITH computer Press the RAITH150.exe Or [START] + [PROGRAMS]+[RAITH]+[RAITH150.EXE] 3. PROCEED AS NORMAL BUT MOST FUNCTIONS AND CONTROL CAN BE PERFORMED FROM THE RAITH SIDE.
