Australian Synchrotron Controls Group Stand Alone StripChart Release Notes A very brief guide to setting up the strip chart program Expand the downloaded tar ball file: $ tar -xzvf sas_2012_03_02.tar.gz This will create two directories, namely bin and sas_process. Edit the sas_process/adaptation_parameters_file.ini to suit your system environment. The format of this file is a standard Windows ini file. Edit the sas_process/time_zone.ini to suit your system environment. Relocate the sas-process directory including its contents if required. If running under Linux: 1) install wine if required (wine allows windows executables to be run within a Linux environment), 2) edit the bin/start_sas script file and change the command "cd /asp/ics/opi/sas_process" (approx line 34) to cd to the location of the sas_process directory on your system, and 3) add "current-directory"/bin to your PATH environment varaible or move the two files in the bin directory to a directory that is already in your search path, e.g. ~/bin. If running under Windows: 1) ignore the bin directory, and 2) create a desktop short cut to reference sas.exe. Note: the start in directory in the short cut must specifiy the sas_process directory. Section 3 of the user guide is most relevent. Sections 1, 2 and 4 are really more specific to out facility.
