The following steps are described for P09. For other beamlines the names have to changed accordingly.
First the Pilatus control program has to be started. At P09 this program runs on haspp09pilatus, user det. It can be started from haspp09, user p09user, by the command startpilatus which executes 'ssh -n det@haspp09pilatus /home/det/startpilatus.sh'.
At P09 the output files should be written to a subdirectory of /data which points to a file server in the DESY computer center. It is auto-mounted at haspp09 and haspp09pilatus. The target subdirectory should be created by det@haspp09pilatus in order to avoid permission problems. Note that the images are stored by det@haspp09pilatus.
