Steps to getting data from our framebuilder, since many of the steps are pretty hard to remember. These steps were performed on a Macbook running OSX Sierra 10.12.5. Dataviewer was opened locally using XQuartz.
1) SSH into PSL Lab computer ws3 through the public port 2022:
$ ssh -Y controls@131.215.115.216 -p 2022 (I often alias this on my PC .bashrc as some command: $ alias ws3="ssh -Y controls@131.215.115.216 -p 2022")
2) SSH into framebuilder4 fb4:
$ fb4 ("fb4" is already aliased on ws3 to be the command $ ssh -Y controls@10.0.1.156)
3) Launch dataviewer:
$ dvlaunch ("dvlaunch" is an alias to $ LIGONDSIP=localhost dataviewer. This tells dataviewer to look locally for frames.)
4) Dataviewer will launch. Click the "Signal" tab. Click the "Slow" button. Channel options "C3" and "C4" should appear. The PSL Lab is "C3". Choose what channels you want to plot.
5) Click the "Playback" tab. Click "Second Trend" because other modes don't work. Unclick "Min" and "Max". Select X Axis Time as "GPS". Choose your start and stop times you want plotted. Finally select your signals. Click "Start".
Wait a while. The terminal you ran dvlaunch from should give a progress report. After all data is retreived a plots page should automatically appear with the channels and plot start/stop times you requested.
If you want to save the data from your plot:
6) Click on the plot you want to save data from. It will have little black boxes in the corners of the plot when selected.
7) Click the "Data -> Export -> ASCII" tab. A window called "Grace: Write sets" should open.
8) Click on the option under "Write set(s)", and change the Format from "%.8g" to "%.10g" to get all the digits of the GPS time. Change Selection to whatever you want to name your datafile. Click "OK".
Your data should be saved. Make sure it is formatted well.
