DMG Observation Shift Manual

This is brief manual for the observation shift of iKAGRA.

To Do

1. Check the data transfer system status

- check the stauts flags

- check the log meggasge

- record the temperature and humidity

According to the check-sheet print available at the control room (if not, you can find in wiki page), the observational shift members have to check the DMG software status monitor on the console every 2 hours. The console is placed in the server room next to the control room.

The observational shift members may check the log output on the lower part of the screen of the console, when checking the DMG Monitor. A red message will appear, if a fatal error happens. Since only a few lines are displayed at a time, don't worry even if you miss several red messages. If fatal, they would appear again anyway. Yellow messages indicate warnings and you may ignore them.
