Cluster/Double Star Tools
(when following this recipe, replace username with your username!)
"ls -a" will let you see the .tcshrc file, which is in your home directory (e.g., /disk/home/username)
You can edit it using a GUI text editor (e.g. Nedit) by typing the full path
/soft/soft3/plasma-Linux/2.6.18/nedit/bin/nedit .tcshrc
Include the following line in your .tcshrc file:
alias plasma "setenv MSSL_PLASMA_LINUX ; source /soft/soft3/plasma-Linux/tcsh-plasma ; cd /disk/plasma4/username"
Now, whenever you login, you'll need to type "plasma" before you will be able to see any of the plasma software.
To use the plasma software in your current shell, you will need to type "source .tcshrc" then "plasma" (instead of doing this you can logout/login then type "plasma").
Accessing Cluster data from other instruments (if you don't find it at CAA)
ANF is Co-I on Cluster FGM and CIS, and also most Double Star
instruments, and CJO is also CoI on Cluster FGM.
We are not RAPID CoIs, but we have access to some software for plotting RAPID
data (though we may need to request the data files via Chris Perry at RAL)
Therefore, at MSSL we have priveleged access to data plotting and analysis
tools specific to these teams. Details in how to use these tools in the
MSSL environment are given at the links below. In order to respect the
rules of the FGM and CIS teams, these tools may only be used under the authorisation
and responsibility of the CoIs.

Cooling Model
Rob Fear has significantly developed the Cooling Model : developed by Brigid Cooling for her PhD thesis as an application of the Cowley Owen model of the forces on a newly reconected flux tube.
