1) Download the latest version of the field system software
use http://www.metsahovi.fi/fs
or ftp://atri.gsfc.nasa.gov
Login with proper user credentials
the latest stable version is in the dist directory
2) Installation
Log into mrt-vlbi as user prog
cd /
tar xzvf <fs-download-file>
This will unpack the code into /usr2/fs-<version> e.g. /usr2/fs-9.11.6
cd /usr2/fs-<version>
make
(This should build the field system without throwing errors)
3) Activation of new version
as user prog:
cd /usr2
rm fs
rm control
cp -r control-<previousVersion> control-<newVersion>
e.g. cp -r control-9.10.5 control-9.11.6
ln -s fs-<newVersion> fs
ln -s control-<newVersion> control
4) Testing new version
as user oper:
fs
This should start the fs without any errors.
Typical errors thrown are related to new required parameters in the equip.ctl or other control files. In this case you can find templates of the new syntax of these files under /usr2/fs/st.default/control.
Also the proper functionality of the station code should be verified.
