h1. Operating Manual v1.0
h2. Unpacking After Transport
* Check shipping container(s) for:
** Test stand
** Concrete block
** Box of accessories
*** Launch controller
*** D motor spacer ring
*** Motor mount adapters (A, B, and C to D/E size)
*** Thermocouple attachment tape (high temp)
** Computer and USB cable
** Motors to test (with igniters and igniter plugs)
** Fire extinguisher and maybe a bucket for water
h2. Test Stand Setup
* Place concrete block in location where test stand will be operated
* Set test stand on concrete block
* Create the safety perimeter.
** Delineate no stand zone for both proximity and positions
*** Use length of cord for the igniter (radius of operations)
*** Exclusion zones exist behind where exhaust escapes (30 degree cone), and in front on each side of the exhaust T (30 degree cone on each side)
* Set up the management area for test.
** Igniter
*** Clip the igniter to a part of the test stand and deploy the cable to its full length and place it where the test(s) will be run from
** Computer
*** Set up computer
*** Boot computer
*** Run USB cable from computer to test stand
*** Connect Arduino-based DAQ system to USB cable at test stand
*** Start the Test Stand App
*** Ensure DAQ system and Computer are both running and connected
h2. Prepare For Test
* Test sensors
** Push on thrust sensor and confirm current value slider responds
** Put fingers around thermocouple(s) (after ensuring it is not hot) and confirm plot responds
