How to start quicklook

We currently run Quicklook on Zion under the EXES account.  It requires IDL.  We also have to have the data disk mounted by zion.

From finder, use Go -> Connect to server 

server address: smb://10.4.2.2

usually choose all volumes that are available.  data is the most important.

Start an xterm using Xquartz

load in the IDL set up variables

prompt% source .profile

change to the quicklook directory

prompt% cd Desktop/quicklook/ver2.0      (for today)

start IDL

prompt% idl

within IDL, start the quicklook

idl>  @startup

a long string of procedures compile and windows open.  Look for the dialog box to pick the data directory.   Can type directly into the top field.  Something like

Directory
/Volumes/data/CD022/cd022_2015aug/25

Can also hit return after entering a part in the Directory field to see further options.  Last directory is clicked in the "file" field.

The main display will have a mostly white screen until you click on something other than atmo.  I'll try to fix this at some point.

Minimize the scan window and open the dels.  I find it useful to open a couple others for editing procedures and operating the sandbox (by hand analysis)

idl> $xterm &

These will be in the data directory.  cd one to the quicklook subdirectory.

arrange the windows as you like.  Here's what I do.
