safe startup
- make sure copley is 'phased' and that the zero point is set
- power the AK, wait for the high pitch 'beep beep'
- if a there is a low humm, then likely the commutation failed. The AK will retry. Hand adjust the back drive screw between attempts to help.
- ideally be running the matlab plotter on CB's machine
- Test that the app will run (-n 0 = do zero passes)
- ./run_lifefix.py -i sw8 -c 0 -T 100 -F 1 -E 1 -n 0 -S
- ideally there will be no error messages and some matlab graphic output will appear
- if the swifi isn't working an error message will be output and the process stopped.
- Run the gentle cycle (-F 1) for 1 pass (-n 1) with 100N of AK output (-T 100):
- ./run_lifefix.py -i sw8 -c 0 -T 100 -F 1 -E 1 -n 1 -S
- there should be no python errors, however there will be an envelope error
- Run the full cycle (-F 0) for 1 pass (-n 1) with 100N of AK output (-T 100):
- ./run_lifefix.py -i sw8 -c 0 -T 100 -F 0 -E 1 -n 1 -S
- there should be no python errors, however there will be an envelope error
- Run the full cycle (-F 0) for 1 pass (-n 1) with 2000N full thrust (-T 2000):
- ./run_lifefix.py -i sw8 -c 0 -T 2000 -F 0 -E 1 -n 1 -S
- there should be no python errors, and no envelope errors.
- proceed with a short run (100 passes) to verify operation
- ./run_lifefix.py -i sw8 -c 0 -T 2000 -F 0 -E 1 -n 100 -S
issues
- if matlab w/plot_float is not running CB's PC there will be an error
- sometimes the SWIFI outputs garbage upon power up
- the lifefix program is now testing for valid SWIFI output.
