---+Guide to Using ACME

ACME is a robotic facility located in PSM. This guide discusses general procedures for running experiments on the low-level commandline interface. There are also a higher level C API, and an (even higher level) Java class hierarchy. Currently, there is no documentation for either of those in this location.

*IMPORTANT*: whenever working with ACME, make sure that you switch off power at the end of the day (red button on the <a href="%ATTACHURLPATH%/ACMEPowerBox.jpg">ACME Power Box</a>)! Otherwise the amplifiers might burn through! And, of course, don't forget to switch power on (yellow button) before you start...

   * [[ACMEEnvironmentSettings][Environment Settings]]. Discusses how to set up a UNIX account for ACME use. This is required for all other operations.

   * [[ACMERebootAndCalibration][Reboot and Calibration]]. Procedures for calibrating ACME. These need to be executed every time the host =kiewa= is rebooted.

   * [[ACMECommandLine][Command Line Interface]]. Commands for operating the stages and gantry.

   * [[ACMEPuma][Puma Robot]]. Procedures for calibrating the Puma robot.
