Communication with Slow Control Devices

All devices in the slow control rack are connected with the target computer through the interface converters.  The hardware configuration is explained in README.md, note_converter.md, etc. in this repository:

https://github.com/uva-spin/Temperature-Pressure-VIs

All virtual USB devices are usually disconnected.  You have to connect/disconnect each device before/after you use it via "SX Virtual Link".  You can click the icon in the taskbar to bring up the user interface like this. 

Usage of Git Repository

The "uva-spin" GitHub repository ( https://github.com/uva-spin ) is cloned at "github" on desktop.  Our default software to manipulate the repository is "Git Bash" in "Git for Windows" ( https://gitforwindows.org/ ).

You can right-click the desktop and click "Git Bash Here" in the menu, or you can click the icon of "Git Bash" in the task bar.  Once a text terminal of "Git Bash" is opened, you can do "cd github/e1039-target-controls", "git pull", etc.
