Transp Unix Mdsplus Implementation

Use the tcl script $CODESYSDIR/source/mdsplot/transp_tree.tcl
e.g:

1. Select a Tree Name
2. Create a directory for the selected tree
3. Define environment variable <tree-name>_path

   	e.g. for Tree = foo:
           export foo_path=/mydisk/foo
   

4. Create the model tree:

   	cd $CODESYSDIR/source/mdsplot
   	mdstcl @transp_tree.tcl <tree-name>
   

5. Add the tree definition to the setup file of your MDSplus Server

You must Create a MDSplus Pulse with a unique MDSplus ID. MDSplus IDs are integer numbers, whereas TRANSP RunIds are usually comprised from the shot number, a Type Id, and a try number.
Sites use various designs for generating MDSplus IDs.

• PPPL:
  • uses a different tree for each experiment
  • uses a unique RunId per experiment
  • converts the RunId, transparent to the user, by converting the Type Id into an integer number.
    e.g.: 12345A01 -> 123450101
    available TRANSP / NTCC tool: tr_mkbeastid.pl
• CMOD:
  • submitts a MDSplus ID to PPPL's Server
  • PPPL generates a temporary RunID
• GA:
  • similar method as PPPL

• Follow instructions in
  • uflib/Makefile, if NTCC Module
  • uflib/makefile.inf, if TRANSP distribution
