The MIM hardware is controlled the the rpc3 unit 'power4'.

These items should be normally be powered on at all times:
littledog - littledog PC & Motor electornics.
TC_Gdog - GuideDog Temperature controller.
TC_Bigdog - BigDog Temperature controller.
Temp_mon - Spex temperature montior.
The Array power is normally off, until after the IC are started.

In the xterm,
% startic
2. Login to the the GuideDog console as the user: guidedog.
In the xterm.
% startic
Note: startic is just a script that does the following:
% cd current/ic
% bigdogic (or guidedogic)
3. Quitting the IC.
Turn off the Array Power.
In the Bigdog IC xterm, hit Cntl-C to kill the IC.
In the GuideDog IC xterm, hit Cntl-C to kill the IC.

stop the ic.
