System | Command | Arguments | Description | Type |
alfosc |
acquisition |
[-c] [-q] [-nofo] <slit> <tt> |
Script for ALFOSC-spectroscopy target acquisition for slit <slit> using exposure time <tt>. If optional flag -c is used, a check image of the star on the slit is made. If optional flag -q is used, the user is queried for another iteration. The -nofo flag should be used if no automatic focus-offset should be set. |
TEL |
alfosc |
focus |
[-e] [-n <N>] [-nodefault] [-t <nn>] [-a <mode>][-filter] |
Focuses the telescope. [-n <N>] makes <N> loops. [-t <nn>] sets exposure time to <nn> . [-nodefault] starts from current focus. [-a <mode>] acquisition using <mode>. |
TEL |
alfosc |
focus-offset |
[-e] [-d <nn>] |
Applies focus offset for optical elements in the light beam. If no offset is known a value of 0 will be assumed. Use [-d] flag to defocus the telescope with <nn> units.
|
TEL |
alfosc |
slitoff |
[slit=<nn> | xref=<x> yref=<y>] |
Calculates the telescope offset needed for slit number <nn>, or for a slit with position (<x>, <y>). |
TEL |
In scripts, the syntax alfosc.<command> should be used.
If a part of a command is written in <angle brackets>, this is an argument that should be replaced with a value.
If a part of a command is written in [square brackets], this is an optional argument or flag.
When available, the optional flag -d will write extended debugging information to the log.
When available, the optional flag -e will show the script on standard output instead of executing the commands.
When available, the optional flag -t will only make a simulated exposure. Useful for testing scripts.
