LIGOTools allows LLO users to access Data Viewer or Diagnostic Test Tool to view the data from general-computing workstations (except abundance,basin and aris) just as if they were in the control room. The daily usage log of LIGOTools is posted here.

Here's how to use it:
 

1. Log into any computer on the General Computing network (GC) (except abundance,basin and aris) and set the DISPLAY variable to point to your local machine.

e.g.   ssh -u YOURNAME bayou.ligo-la.caltech.edu
       setenv DISPLAY 145.45.67.89:0.0

2. Type 'dtt' to bring up the Diagnostics Test Tools main window.
 

3. Under the "File" menu, choose "Setup..."

4. Click on the radiobutton next to "Server:", and type "london" in the box. Click "Ok".
 

5. Now you can start up Data Viewer or one of the DTT functions as you normally do!
 

FYI:

I have set up the "ndsproxy" program at Livingston, running on london under username "controls".  ndsproxy lives in /cvs/cds/llo/web/ndsproxy.  It updates a usage log, /cvs/cds/llo/web/ndsproxy/ndsproxy_daily_usage.html, whenever there is some activity; at Hanford, the LHO log file is viewable from a link on the CDS web page.  There is currently no provision to automatically restart ndsproxy if london is rebooted.
