JEOL Compilation Computer (JCC)

From the external Beamer PC (DTU-EM00AWQD) it is possible to remotely compile job files on the JEOL Compilation Computer (JCC), thus it is possible to verify that job files compiles as intended. Once a set of job files are found to compile as intended they can then be moved to the JEOL 9500 computer for re-compilation and exposure. Remember to book and log in on the external Beamer PC when using this.

The following describes how to remotely access the JCC from the external Beamer PC.

The desktop of the external Beamer PC can be turned into something that resembles the JEOL 9500 interface for remote compilation. Illustration: Thomas Pedersen.

Initial setup

Files are transfered using FFFTP and the remote connection to the JCC is made with PuTTY. Both have to be setup before first time use. In order to set it up on your user account open the "First use" folder on the desktop and run both "FFFTP setup" and "PuTTY setup". Accept the warnings in each case. FFFTP andd PuTTY are now setup correctly. Notice that this will overwrite any settings you might already have in your FFFTP setup.

Folders on the JCC

The folder system resembles that of the JEOL 9500 system. For pre exposure compilation please use the following folders (which are already setup as bookmarks in FFFTP):

SDF/JDF: /home/eb0/jeoleb/job/1PreExposureFiles
V30: /home/eb0/jeoleb/pattern/danchipv30

Using the remote interface

To connect to the JCC simply start the PuTTY terminal found on the desktop. Choose the JEOL Compilation Computer in the Saved Sessions and click Open. The terminal will now connect and prompt for a password. The password is "Jeoleb", remember the capital J. The interface behaves alsmost identical to the JEOL 9500 computer, hence all the usual commands can be used, such as:

Change directory in the terminal with the cd command. Use cd job/1PreExposureFiles to go to the pre exposure files working directory
Compile with the usual schd -exptime sdfname command
Use ebxmenu to open the EBX Menu, launch the Analysis program to find ACHK
Edit you SDF/JDF by launching GEdit with the gedit& command (remember the last &)
When done using the interface, please close PuTTY with the exit command

Limitations of the JEOL Compilation Computer

The JCC has two important differences from the JEOL 9500 exposure system:

Not all condition files found on the control computer will be present on the JCC. To get accurate meaningful calculations of shot time and execution time you should however keep the STDCUR at the intended beam current in the JDF file. Remember to change the CALPRM command when transfering the files to the JEOL 9500 system.
The minimum shot time on the JCC is 10 ns, while it i 5 ns on the system itself. Thus for pre compilation on the JCC you must use a shot pitch high enough to satisfy that condition. The shot pitch does not affect the writing time estimate.

Troubleshooting

If the console returns a "Can't open display" error when attempting to launch the EBX Menu, please restart the computer.
Any other issues, please notify Thomas Pedersen.

-==Setup FFFTP connection==
-FFFTP is used to transfer files to the JCC. In order to setup a FFFTP on your user account, double click the "FFFTP run first time" found on the desktop. Accept the warnings. Open FFFTP and you will find a profile to connect to both the JEOL 9500 computer as well as the JEOL Compilation Computer.
-==Accessing the JEOL Compilation Computer interface==
-In order to access the JCC you must launch '''Xming'''. It is found in the Windows Start menu. Once you click it nothing seems to happen, no program window will open. '''Xming''' should however appear in the system tray.

-Once the connection is defined, click '''Open'''. The '''PuTTY''' terminal window will now open and ask for the username and password. Just as on the JEOL 9500 system the username is "jeoleb" and the password is "Jeoleb". Once connection is made the terminal behaves just as a terminal on the JEOL 9500 system and one can compile jobs and verify the result.

+The JCC has two important differences from the JEOL 9500 exposure system:
-The JCC only has a single working condition file (CALPRM) and that is '''2na_ap4'''. Thus it is necesarry to compile with this condition file in all sequences of the SDF file. To get accurate meaningful calculations of shot time and execution time you should however keep the STDCUR at the intended beam current in the JDF file. Remember to change the CALPRM command when transfering the files to the JEOL 9500 system.
