MATLAB SETUP (copy from EM procedure, already complete for test bed computer)

  1. Make sure to be connected to JPL VPN if not on JPL network already when opening matlab.
  2. Make sure the following are on your matlab path and saved.
Dropbox\PFS_EM\SVN\MATLAB
Dropbox\PFS_EM\SVN\MATLAB\lib
Dropbox\PFS_EM\SVN\MATLAB\peter\download
Dropbox\PFS_EM\SVN\MATLAB\peter\lib
Dropbox\PFS_Production\CODE

Motor Map Creation from NST data - updated on 4/17/2017

  1. First of all, make sure ALL NST final inspection data (.csv files) are under
    Dropbox\PFS_Production\XML_Files\AllNSTFinalData 
    All original NST data files are in Dropbox\PFS_Production\NST_FinalReports, organized by ship date.
  2. Under
    Dropbox\PFS_Production\XML_Files 
    create a new folder with rail name (ex. spare1). This is called "rail folder"
  3. From Access database, by using Form called "CreatePidList", export an excel pid list file into this rail folder. (ex. PidListSpare1.xls)
  4. In Matlab, Execute the script:
    readXLSwriteSML
    (In case, the script lives in Dropbox\PFS_Production\CODE\MATLAB\generateXML)
    1. A dialog appears and asks you for the location of empty CobraConfig.xml file. Select
       Dropbox\PFS_Production\XML_Files\EmptyCobraConfig57Cobras.xml 
    2. After creating the initial motor maps and displaying figures, a dialog will appear and ask you to specify a name for a new XML file. Convention is "rail_(#)_(Date)_v1.xml"
  • Script will not work if Cobra serial numbers include empty or invalid (without .csv file).

Starting mSim

  1. Start mSim for Camera by double clicking the mSimAndor shortcut on desktop
  2. Click Play (small triangle on the tool bar)
  3. Click Test when dialog comes up
  4. Run the script to connect camera
     need script name 

Loading XML into MSIM (from EM procedure)

  1. Copy the XML file into the MSIM xml folder: D:\DevCodePft\Main\user\xml_files (There should be a link to this under Sage's Libraries)
  2. Load the XML file with MSIM and save it.(Commands can be found in MSIM under: Commands -> Database Commands) Verify in the MSIM log that this goes ok.
    cmd_load_Xml_file_to_Database  yourXmlFilenameWithNoXmlExtension
    cmd_save_Database  
    
  3. Restart only Cobra MSIM

Generate Targets (EM procedure)

  1. Open and edit the inputs for the target generation script in Matlab to make targets: \Dropbox\PFS_EM\SVN\MATLAB\targGenerator.m
  2. Change the matlab directory to where you want the target files generated
  3. Run the script
  4. Move the resulting TargetList_mId_#_pId_#.txt files to D:\PfsTests\Targets IMPORTANT: Dont overwrite existing ones. Create an archive folder and move them there first
  5. Restart MSIM
  6. Open the latest target script in Dropbox\PFS_EM\SVN\MSIM and edit it to have the right positioners
    1. Also check that fiducial definitions are correct and motor polarity's are right

Homing all Cobras

  1. In mSim, click "Load"
  2. Select Homing script from MSIM folder under Libraries
     (Date)_home_All_GetAngles_(PositionerIDs).lst 
  3. Click "Send"

Running Targets

  1. In mSim, click "Load"
  2. When prompted, select target script. It should be under MSIM folder under Libraries of sage
  3. Click "Send"

Target Convergence Analysis (for Prod Mini System Testbed)

  1. Copy MSIM target log dir on testbed computer (eg: D:\PfsTests\06_16_14_10_36_21_TargetRun\Log) to the drobox test results target convergence folder (Dropbox\PFS_EM\TEST_RESULTS\TargetConvergenceEMDowns\). Rename the log directory in dropbox to have the same name as the mother directory on testbed computer (eg: 06_16_14_10_36_21_TargetRun). This directory will now be referred to as the test directory here. Remove log file from the directory because it is very large.
  2. Move the appropriate CobraConfig xml (the most recent file in explorer:Libraries->xmlfiles) used by MSIM into the test directory.
  3. Change the matlab current folder to the test directory in dropbox.
  4. Execute the following command to run the target analysis script:
    analyzeTargetRun
  5. When prompted, select the appropriate xml which was used for the MSIM test. The one you moved into test directory.
  6. Run the script and mat files will be saved to the same log directory as the log txt files are in.

Motor Map Update

  1. Do a TargetConvergenceAnalysis as described above.
  2. Add your new test directory to the list of directories in the beginning of updateMotorMapsFromTargetData.m
  3. Uncomment all directories that contain data you want to include in the analysis.
  4. Run the script with your latest xml and take a thorough look at the results. Look for extreme map values and decide whether it is realistic and ok for the positioner to have these values.
  5. Follow the Loading XML into MSIM procedure above.

Exporting XML from MSIM (from Mini System Testbed)

NOTE: The exported XML file will not contain several sets of data necessary for some matlab scripts. This includes fiducial positions and min/max joint angles.
  1. From MSIM dialog send the following command with the argument name according to what you want the XML saved as. Don't include the xml extension.
cmd_save_Database_to_xml_file  yourxmlfilename
