I want to put a new diagnostic on NSTX. How can I get the data into MDSplus?

    This is complicated, and local conventions should be considered. Please see Phyllis Roney.

How do I control my acquisition starting time?

    If you mean when the acquistion begins after the shot has completed, please see Phyllis Roney. To change trigger times for your digitizers, you may use TRAVERSER. Click on your device to select it, and then select "Setup Device" under the Data menu.

I want to take another set of calibration shots; what shot number should I start with?

Can I run CAMAC programs from any computer?

    No. A CAMAC crate can only be accessed from one computer. Currently, most NSTX Diagnostic crates are access from the VMS computer KEES. The EPICS crates are accessed from Unix computers.
