GEM-SRS-CODA Some tidbits

Computer info: hostname is hallavme9 and user-name is coda (For password, contact Dipangkar, Krishna or Alex)

CODA output and how to look at it

The output from the single ROC (# 10) mode of CODA run is saved in /home/coda/SRScoda/data The output from the multi-ROC (GEM ROC # is 7) is in another computer (ask Alex about it).

To look at the single ROC GEM data:
