Control Room

The LTX control room (L208) serves as the center of machine operation, housing several computers which monitor and control LTX systems.

Computer Terminals

• Bender: North end of western wall. Main run computer. Hosts the Run VI and automated analysis scripts.
• Nibbler: Southern wall. OH control computer; communicates with OH PXI chassis via VIs for control and acquisition. Typically used for Remote Desktop to LTX-Fry-NB7 for nbGUI.
• Peabody: North end of eastern wall. Previously communicated with Chronos DTACQ. Deprecated?
• Leela: Eastern wall. Communicates with QCDM controllers and stepper motor controller.
• Zoidberg: Eastern wall. Has three monitors. Communicates with thermocouple readers, ion gauge controller, and both vessel and beam tank RGAs. Also houses the filament bias control interface.
• Hermes: Remote to NI PXI computer for RTD and Thermocouple Labview VIs.
• LRRR: WinSpec and Visual Basic to control CHERS Holospec camera.
• Donbot: WinSpec and Visual Basic to control CHERS Isoplane spectrometer and camera.
• Clamps: WinSpec and Visual Basic to control Thomson scattering Holospec camera.
• ?: Western wall. Large wall display for shot waveforms and video.
• ?,?,?: Eastern wall. Large wall displays for test cell webcams.

Terminals Outside Control Room

• Hypnotoad: Shared SolidWorks workstation. In L232 (postdoc office) next to Drew Elliott's desk.
• Fry: Neutral beam control computer. In L111 (neutral beam cell), inside the neutral beam cage.
