slew_rate [az=?, el=?, dk=?]
Specify a reduced slew rate for one or more telescope axes.
- Mandatory arguments:
- (None)
- Optional Arguments:
-
SlewRate az
- The slew rate of the azimuth drive (10-100 percent)
SlewRate el
- The slew rate of the elevation drive (10-100 percent)
SlewRate dk
- The slew rate of the deck drive (10-100 percent)
- Example:
- The following example reduces the slew rate of the deck drive
to 50% of its maximum speed.
slew_rate dk=50
- Context:
- While it would be nice always to use the highest slew rate
available, it has been found that at low temperatures our
deck drive will only run at lower speeds, due to the viscosity
of its lubricating oil. This command allows one to reduce the
speed to get it working again.
