First time remote users are encouraged to contact their local contact to discuss any queries. If requested, a test visit can be set up on a non-experiment day prior to beamtime for familiarisation, and to ensure all systems are working correctly.
To carry out an experiment remotely, it is recommended to have:
Click on the On/Off button in the right hand corner, then the down arrow next to your name and select Log Out.
Remember to log out at the end of the visit
Just closing the window will not disconnect you from the session and mean you are still occupying a node. This will limit the number of nodes available for the next user group.
If you don't have scheduled beamtime, or have not been added to the visit, you will be connected automatically to a node of the compute cluster. It may not be obvious initially, but you can not open the GDA on non-beamline machines.
In some instances, after logging in, you may be presented with many icons for connections to other users desktops. Click on the All Desktops at the top of the screen and change to My Desktops. Now click Create a new desktop or custom session and then click to create a new virtual desktop and select the beamline workstation as above.
If you want to process and analyse data or copy data home etc., then please use the "Automatically select a node" icon to be taken to a node on the cluster - do not use the beamline workstations.
