AURORA DC power control SOP

This will contain details on how to remote control the DC side of the AURORA Science System.

There are two ways to do that:

(1) By powering off / on devices that are controlled by the ADAM units. (2) By powering off / on devices that are controlled by the Campbell logger.

Devices controlled by ADAM units:

Here is a list of the keywords describing the things you can turn on/off with adam scripts (only including things important for general ops):

'12outb'      -- 12V output port, currently empty
'12outa'      -- 12V output port to menapia dock
'met'.        -- Vaislal met station
'smartflux'.  -- Licor smartflux
'gopro'.      -- The mobotix cameras POE switch (no longer gopros)
'wxcam'.      -- WxCam  
'wan'         -- The Starlink Space Laser
'sci48'       -- This toggles on/off ALL of the DC going to the ASS from the APS side (this will turn off the ASS computer)

To toggle any of this on, run: python /home/aurora/scripts/adam/adamtoggle.py -n 'met' -on

To toggle any of these off, run: python /home/aurora/scripts/adam/adamtoggle.py -n 'met' -off

To check which ones are on or off currently, run: python /home/aurora/scripts/adam/adamtoggle.py -s

Devices controlled by Campbell logger:

To power on/off DC devices that are controlled by the Campbell logger, you currently need to edit the python script:

/home/aurora/scripts/asfs/send_asfs_power_config.py

Once you've edited it with the configuration you want, run the python script, and this will send the new config to the campbell logger. It will update on the next logger cycle, so it might take ~15s or so to actually turn stuff off / on.

The switches you can set in this file are listed below. For ease, there is also an 'off_str' defined, if you uncomment the line #chan_str = off_str then you can turn everything off without havig to go through and change every default setting to zero.

# what sensors are powered right now? these correspond to the physical switches on the "DC control module"
