In this session we will go over the many important details about interacting with the Rubin Observatory Control System with a special focus on commissioning. Our plan is to cover the following topics:

1. General system architecture and the different services that allows us to control and monitor the system.
2. Review procedures in place for proposing and executing commissioning/engineering activities. 
3. How to use the observatory control system to execute regular and advanced operations. 

We expect a substantial part of the session will be dedicated to hands-on activities, dedicated to developing and exercicing real-case operations using the existing tools. 

The session will be devided in the following topics:

• Observatory Control System Overview: What is what (15min)?
• What to expect when interacting with the Control System (20min).
  • Monitoring: LOVE vs EFD (5min).
  • Controlling: LOVE + ScriptQueue vs nublado (5min).
  • Logging: Alysha Shugart (5min).
  • Autonomous Operations: The Scheduler (5 min).
• Angelo Fausti: The Engineering Facility Database, or should we call it Sasquatch (15 min)?
• Contributing (10 min):
  • Designing your own tasks: From notebooks to SAL Scripts (5min).
  • Testing your tasks: Tucson Test Stand, Base Test Stand and Summit (5min).
• Getting help:
  • Documentation.
  • Slack.
