Authors: Wietske van der Zwaag and Johan van der Meer

Lots of info in the package from Paul de Bruin. See scdropbox/Wietske/XTC-package-v8

Given that CorbaDataDumper is installed (check C:\xtc) to run it as its own external gadget, type the following in the command line:

• cd C:\xtc
• CorbaDataDumper 193.176.235.20 193.176.235.20 c:\CorbaDataDumps

1) Set the geometry parameter 'External control' to 'full control' and start your scan. A message 'Under remote control' will appear.

2) Then go to c:\CorbaDataDumps\ScannerUpdates and paste in an (empty) text file called start.txt

Your scan will start.

Your data will appear in c:\CorbaDataDumps\0000 (and higher numbers for later scans)

To use on an external computer

1. install the CorbaDataDumper on your pc. It's already on the 7T stim pc.
2. set the correct IP address in the Service Application (under MR applications) - connectivity - external configuration;

127.0.0.1 for the scanner itself and 193.176.235.176 for the stim pc. 

1. update the fussite_cs.exe.config file in C/Program Files/PMS/MipNet91 following instructions from the pdf (WZ did this - 23/12) (save file as 'stim pc' - put back pauls)
2. RESTART scanner application software to activate fussite_cs config file

Then during the actual session:

1. log in as admin on the stim pc
2. (optional) ping the stim pc to make sure you can see it from the scanner
3. type:

• cd C:\xtc
• CorbaDataDumper 193.176.235.20 193.176.235.176 c:\CorbaDataDumps

1. start your scan
2. put the start.txt in CorbaDataDumps\ScannerUpdates

Current state: Works! Need to install toolbox to actually stop/start scanner from a task and handle incoming data
