Operation of the MagAO-X instrument
===================================

The MagAO-X instrument has (at last count) several thousand controllable
degrees of freedom, three computers, and dozens of processes. To manage
that complexity, we have the guides and tools detailed herein.

Good starting points include the :doc:`startup <startup>` guide and the
:doc:`troubleshooting <../troubleshooting>` guide. Useful tools include
:doc:`software/utils/xctrl`, :doc:`software/guis/cursesINDI`, and
:doc:`software/utils/logdump`.

Viewing camera output and DM input (really, any shared memory image) uses
`rtimv`, which is documented in its own
`User Guide <https://github.com/jaredmales/rtimv/blob/master/doc/UserGuide.md#rtimv>`_.
