EIS Master Study Database

Updating the MHC heaters studies (default_heaters) descriptions

• These steps update the study descriptions for the heater studies in the master database. Although strictly not required it does give David Brooks peace of mind when he checks the studies after the database is updated.
• To avoid having to edit mostly unchanging text this procedure uses a Makefile to update a copy of the study description files automatically, inserting the current year into the text and copying the updated text file to the correct location in the planning database.

Procedure

1. Check that the planning database contains the descriptions for the current season.

   In the open xterm type:

   make check ↩

   The last line will contain either ECLIPSE or POST_ECLIPSE depending on what season is current.

2. In the open xterm type:

   default_heaters ↩

3. If updating the heater settings for the eclipse season, type:

   make eclipse_htrs_docs ↩
make eclipse_htrs_db ↩

   if updating the heater settings for the post-eclipse season, type:

   make post_eclipse_htrs_docs ↩
make post_eclipse_htrs_db ↩

4. Once again, check that the files have updated correctly:

   In the xterm, type:

   make check ↩

   The last line of output should contain the new season.

That's it for the study descriptions.
