7.1. Startup Procedure
In-air operation: Turn on nitrogen or dry air flow at least 30 minutes before turning on the
detector. Then turn ON the power switch at the back of the detector electronics.

mbar. Then turn ON the power switch at the back of the detector electronics.
Turn on the PC.
Start a shell.
The default path is: /home/det.
Change the directory to: p2_det/.
Type ./runtvx (./runtvx starts a script which initializes the detector system and opens the
Camserver and TVX windows).
If you want to control the detector with a TCP/IP client, type ./camonly in the directory p2_det/.
./camonly starts a script, which initializes the detector system and opens the Camserver window. Please
refer to the user manual for further information.
7.2. First Commands
See the detailed description of all commands in the user manual.
Type the following commands in TVX:
rbd: self test of the detector (digital part of all pixels).
calibdet: self test of the detector (analog part of all pixels).
cam setCu: sets the energy threshold of the detector for 8 keV X-rays. It is important that an
appropriate threshold is set, otherwise the detector is not trimmed. See the user manual for
more information!
expose 10: creates an image with an exposure time of 10 seconds.
