BTA Brief Instructions
To fill out the ``Hall Time Account Table'', you should use the
the NEW (Nov 2002) BTA Software by typing ``bta'' on the
adaq account from either adaql1 (Linux) or adaqs2 (SunOS).
A few notes about this software:
- Avoid the old software (``atable'').
The new software uses a new database. The old
software requires lots of manual intervention for database upkeep.
- Try the Help button.
- You can navigate to older shifts. If the colors are dark blue
the shift was already submitted.
- IMPORTANT : Shift workers have final say
over the numbers.
If you don't like what is automatically written,
simply over-write it.
- If you think there is a bug, send e-mail to Michele Joyce
(erb@jlab.org) with cc to Bob (rom@jlab.org).
- Note, automated numbers works
ONLY FOR PRODUCTION RUNNING.
i.e. it does not account for beam used by a variety
of other tasks, such as energy measurements or HARP scans.
Again, shift workers have final say over the numbers.
