Pcal Beckhoff software installed

Daniel, Thomas and shivaraj

This morning we installed Beckhoff software for the PCal at the X-end station. During the installation we restarted the Beckhoff system a couple of times. Since the PCal setup is not connected yet, we didn't test the singals. One thing that came up during the software installtion was the naming of PCal channels. Previoulsy it was decided that the PCal channels would come under CAL subsytem and would read such as H1:CAL-PCALX_SHUTTERSTATUS. However 'CAL' is a restricted word and hence we couldn't use it in the channel name as we wanted. For time being we have used 'PCL' instead of 'CAL' and the channels now read such as  H1:PCL-PCALX_SHUTTERSTATUS.
