The APS has set up remote access for beamline operations. Users can run experiments remotely with an NX web portal. Please follow the instructions below:
1. As shown below, go to the NoMachine Cloud server either using a browser (https://delos.aps.anl.gov) or NoMahine client locally (connecting to delos.aps.anl.gov) . To log in, the username is the badge number prefixed with d (e.g. d123456); and the password is the same as for the proposal/ESAF system.
2. You will then see two (or more) computers that you can access, as shown below. You will need to access CLOVER and SEC9DT6 for operation. CLOVER is a linux box for controlling the BNP including setting up scans. SEC9DT6 is a windows computer for cameras (a transmission X-ray camera for alignment, a visible light camera to look at samples, and a web camera to monitor sample exchange) and using MAPS to visualize the data.
3. Double click on "CLOVER, ...", then "Physical display, ...", you will see a few dialogs about NoMachine settings, as shown below. You could either change the settings or click "OK" through them.
4. Please check "Mute audio on the server while I'am connected" and preferably "Don't resize the remote display" in the following two dialogs.
5. You will then be routed to CLOVER.
6. It is the same operation to access SET9DT6.
