Getting Started

Remote Users on DECstation

The support for DECstation starts with release 2.8. Conversion has been done by Ernst Paul Sichterman, who has moved recently to CERN. Henno Willering has agreed to take over. More details will follow soon.

Remote Users on SUN

If you use a non-NIKHEF-K SUN-Sparc, you must first copy the executables and the manuals using our ftp-anonymous service:

ftp ftp.nikhef.nl
Name: anonymous
Password: 
cd pub/enigma
ls
mget bin
etc...

uncompress bin/*
etc.

Alternatively, you may download via the: Nikhef Web-ftp service.

You may have to change the search-path environment variable $ENIGMADIR, used in the demo/enigma_install script, to the path leading to your local Enigma directory. Also use the -tables option to rerout the table-lookup path.

Local Users

If you run Enigma on one of the NIKHEF-K servers, you may use our installed executables, installed in the $ENIGMADIR, that is currently: /local/eminutil1/Enigma

To gain access to the ENIGMA and related programs, the simplest way is just copy the files from $ENIGMADIR/demo to an empty directory where you experiment: <\DL>

mkdir tryout
cd tryout
cp /local/eminutil1/Enigma/demo/* .

Then type:

enigma_install
source ~/.cshrc

All Users

Now you are ready to run. e.g.

enigma -det1 QDQ 

or if you like a script, type:

run.simple

this should give you a first short run and:

sho results/* 

should show you some spectra (in full Technicolor!) If you are not a color-SUN-Sparc workstation, type:

scatt results/* | lpr -Pcolor

to obtain a plot on a Color Postscript Laserprinter.

Then proceed by adding more commandline options and modifying the (or creating new) detector files (QDQ, 4pi etc). See the example-scripts: run.simple inclusive.all and condor.job

Local Users

If you are really fed-up with running Enigma, type:

enigma_deinstall

Good Luck!!!
