Galil Photon Procedure

C. Harper 5/11/00

The Galil Controller is connected to Photon via an Ethernet Terminal Server. The Ethernet Terminal Server has 8 ports. Port 1 should be reserved for the console port. It may have a baud rate of 9600 instead of 19200. Galil commands use capital letters and Unix commands use lower case letters. Three xterm windows are used on Photon for the Main, Auxiliary and Unix ports. The Main port is used for data out, the Aux. port is used for data in only and the Unix port is used for communicating with the host computer

1. Open the Main port:

loel@photon: telnet deits2 200x OR

: telnet 192.168.1.2 200x

<return> will bring up the prompt. This will allow you to use the Galil commands.

2. Open Auxiliary port:

loel@photon: telnet deits2 200x OR

: telnet 192.168.1.2 200x

Check the communication link between the Main and Auxiliary ports by going back to the Main window and enter: MG {P2} “message”. The message should appear in the Auxiliary window.

3. Open Unix port:

First close Main: <control> ]

telnet> quit

“connection closed” will be displayed

Changing directories:

loel@photon: cd <path> i.e./u/jim/Galil/Testing

% (prompt)

% ls displays directory

4. Download a program to the controller:

From the Unix window:

% download –h192.168.1.2 –pl –f(file name) i.e. Analogs.galil

-p2 if you are using port 2: the IP Address may be different depending on which ETS you are connected to.

The program will be displayed in the window.

5. Execute a program:

Open Main window

: XQ1 to execute from line 1

Use capitol letters to execute Galil commands.

6. Close by:

: <control>] will take you to telnet

telnet> quit will take you to loel@photon

Local> logout will take you to loel@photon

% exit will close the window

7. The Galil #1 icon will create a Main and Aux. window.

Troubleshooting Tips: Refer to the “Galil Problems and Error Messages” list.
