RT2MS

Your Question: 
I would like to use rt2ms to go from reftek to ascii, but am having trouble running it in Terminal on MAC. After using the following commands- cd /opt/passcal/bin followed by- ./rt2ms I am getting the error- PASSCAL environment not set! Can not continue I am new to MAC so any help appreciated? Also, once I get this error solved, how exactly does rt2ms work to go from reftek to ascii and what command is used on Terminal?

Do this after installing the EPIC software package:

You must set an environment variable EPIC and path
by editing either ~/.cshrc or ~/.bashrc. To check if you need to
edit .cshrc or .bashrc, run the following command:

ps -p $$.

If the CMD is listed as tcsh or csh, edit the .cshrc file. If the CMD is listed
as bash, edit the .bashrc file.

.cshrc example:

setenv EPIC /opt/passcal
setenv PASSOFT ${EPIC}
source ${EPIC}/setup/setup.csh

.bashrc example:

export EPIC=/opt/passcal
export PASSOFT=${EPIC}
source ${EPIC}/setup/setup.sh

Be sure to logout and log back in!

Do some simple tests:
% which picpython

This should return:
/opt/passcal/other/bin/picpython

% lopt

This should display a simple digital clock.
