   * Now have got Network UPS Tools (NUT) working for UPS in the ctalab
      * This will shutdown the server automatically in the event of a power outage, and notify me, Bill, and Massimo
   * Brief summary of what was done:
      * Mostly followed directions from here: <span data-mce-mark="1">https://kinavu.org/install-and-configure-nut-on-ubuntu/</span>
         * _sudo apt install nut_
         * Add to files in /etc/nut/
            * ups.conf
               * [nevis-ctalab-ups]<br /> driver = snmp-ups<br /> port = nevis-ctalab-ups.nevis.columbia.edu<br /> community = public<br /> mibs=apcc
            * upsd.users
               * [monups]<br /> password = acdc<br /> upsmon master
            * upsmon.conf
               * MONITOR nevis-ctalab-ups@localhost 1 monups acdc master<br />NOTIFYCMD /home/bin/notify.sh
            * nut.conf (this addition was done later in the process, may have been the cause of failures [previously MODE=none])
               * MODE=standalone
         * Created file /home/bin/notify.sh and made it executable
            * echo "$*" | /bin/mail -s "upsmon on ${HOSTNAME}" sysadmin@nevis.columbia.edu ca2762@columbia.edu capasso@nevis.columbia.edu
         * did _sudo cp /lib/udev/rules.d/62-nut-usbups.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/_ and followed it with a reboot
         * /var/run/nut already existed, so did:
            * _sudo chown root:nut /var/run/nut_
            * _sudo chmod 770 /var/run/nut_
            * Not sure if either of these were necessary
         * [TESTING COMMANDS] The _upsdrvctl_ stuff that was being used in the tutorial was having issues, so I just tried out what Bill shared which was:
            * <i>sudo systemctl enable nut-server</i><br /><i>sudo systemctl enable nut-monitor</i><br /><i>sudo systemctl start nut-server</i><br /><i>sudo systemctl start nut-monitor</i>
            * and then: _sudo upsc nevis-ctalab-ups_ to see if it was working
         * The first time I ran the testing commands, there wasn't a whole lot of output, except with the _start nut-monitor_ I got out:
            * Job for nut-monitor.service failed because the service did not take the steps required by its unit configuration.<br />See "systemctl status nut-monitor.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
         * So I ran _systemctl status nut-monitor.service_ and it told me:
            * <verbatim>o nut-monitor.service - Network UPS Tools - power device monitor and shutdown controller

         * Following this, I:
            * Installed the server with _sudo apt install nut-snmp_
            * Changed in the nut.conf file: MODE=none -&gt; MODE=standalone
            * Rebooted again
         * This seemed to work, full output:
            * <verbatim>(base) ctalab@ctalab-Precision-3630-Tower:~$ sudo systemctl enable nut-server

   * NMC for UPS now working
      * Will adjust the details of the networking section of the NevisLabsSetup page to reflect additional changes

   * Setting up all the networking and devices
      * ctalab machine
         * # host odo<br />odo.nevis.columbia.edu is an alias for ctalab.nevis.columbia.edu.<br />ctalab.nevis.columbia.edu has address 10.44.2.10
         * Started ssh server following direction on this page:

   * Switched capacitors on test board to power Hamamatsu SiPM (Nancy)
      * Did this to accommodate higher bias voltage needed
      * C1, C3, C4: replace with 100nF, 100V (1206 package)
      * C5, C6, C7: replace with 2.2uF, 100V (1206 package)

   * Tried to find the network card for the UPS
      * Not located upstairs in the supply room as was initially thought
      * Found one that looked like it could be it in Bill's office, but not sure how it could've gotten there with Bill absent
   * Programmed the Aim TTi EL302P -USB PSU
      * added as a class of the [[https://github.com/sgoadhouse/dcps][dcps]] python package, new class called 'AimTTiEL302P"
      * can find the code at _/home/ctalab/anaconda3/envs/cta/lib/python3.8/site-packages/dcps/AimTTiEL302P.py_
         * So far implemented commands to do:
            * Write voltage
            * Write current
            * Read voltage
            * Read current
            * Measure voltage
            * Measure current
            * Turning output on/off
            * Checking if output is on
         * Start-up code is:
            * from dcps import AimTTiEL302P
            * aim = AimTTiEL302P ('ASRL/dev/ttyACM0::INSTR')
            * aim.open()
         * and then use the `aim` object to do all the commands
      * Still need to implement commands for
         * switching between local/remote (this isn't an option for the model we have)
