alimits type, az_max, el_max, dk_max
Calibrate the acceleration limits of the azimuth, elevation and deck axes.
- Arguments:
-
LimitType type
- The type of motion that the limits are to be applied to.
AccelLimit az_max
- The maximum azimuth acceleration (degrees/s/s).
AccelLimit el_max
- The maximum elevation acceleration (degrees/s/s).
AccelLimit dk_max
- The maximum deck acceleration (degrees/s/s).
- Example:
- The following example indicates that during scanning, the azimuth
axis has an acceleration limit of 2.25 degrees/s.s, the elevation
axis has an acceleration limit of 0.25 degrees/s/s, and that the
deck axis has an acceleration limit of 1.0 degrees/s/s.
alimits scan, 2.25, 0.25, 1.0
- Context:
- Before the control system can point the telescope, the alimits
command must be invoked to tell it how fast it can accelerate
the individual telescope axes. This must be done for both
tracking and scanning limits.
