XMap Troubleshooting

If XMap GUI is not showing any counts try the following:

​

(1) Close and reopen XMap GUI

​

(2) If that doesn't work, run the zebra batch file:

​

• Open a file explorer window. Navigate to the local C drive, then "SSRL_LOCAL", then "Source", then "zebra"

• When in the zebra folder, look for a file labeled "zebra" whose type is windows batch file

• Double click to run the zebra program. A command window will open and will run through a bunch of commands. When the program is done running, the window will close automatically

• Reopen XMap GUI, select one of the channels, and hit "start"

​

(3) If that doesn't work, check that the detector is connected.

​

• Go to the xspress3 control window. Has the text pictured in the red box on the image below changed from all green to all white? If yes, then xspress3 has crashed.

• Close XMap GUI

• Go to MobaXterm (see picture below). This is a remote desktop application that connects to the computer which runs the detector software. There are three tabs open. In each tab, hit cntl-C. This will terminate the process in each window.

• Then, use the up arrow to see the commands that were recently run in each window.

• Arrow up until you see:

• xspress3-ioc.sh --> hit return

• xspress3-edm.sh --> hit return

• python testserve.py --> hit return

• Reopen XMap GUI, select a channel, and hit "start"
