IBEX File Paths page

The installation of IBEX is common for most instruments you shouldn't need to delve into the paths as a user but as an instrument scientist there may be some items you wish to edit or look at. The system is set out as follows:

• IBEX Client: C:\Instrument\Apps\Client_E4\ibex-client.exe there should be a shortcut on the task bar
• IBEX Server: C:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS to start and stop the server see Starting-and-Stopping-IBEX
• genie_python: C:\Instrument\Apps\Python3\genie_python.bat usually python is accessed through the client scripting console
• Configurations: C:\Instrument\Settings\config\<computer>\configurations this directory contains configuration, components and IOC specific configuration. The IOC specific configurations include:
  • galil: galil galil motor configurations for all controllers, including jaws, axes and motion setpoint commands but not value
  • motion setpoints: motionSetPoints the motion setpoints
  • refl: refl\config.py default reflectometry configuration

• Common calibration files: C:\Instrument\Settings\config\common calibration files for instruments e.g. Eurotherm sensors
• Log files: These are in various places depending on the source see Log File locations
• User scripts: instrument dependent often in c:\scripts
• Instrument scripts: C:\Instrument\Settings\config\<computer>\Python version controlled instrument scripts which are accessed through inst.. Either as a single file called inst.py or a folder called inst
• Shared instrument scripts: C:\Instrument\scripts these are scripts shared between multiple instruments see shared instrument scripts.
• Data: C:\data the data recorded by the instrument
