vlimits type, az_max, el_max, dk_max
Calibrate the velocity limits of the azimuth, elevation and deck axes.
- Arguments:
-
LimitType type
- The type of motion that the limits are to be applied to.
VelocLimit az_max
- The maximum azimuth velocity (degrees/s).
VelocLimit el_max
- The maximum elevation velocity (degrees/s).
VelocLimit dk_max
- The maximum deck velocity (degrees/s).
- Example:
- The following example indicates that during scanning, the azimuth
axis has an velocity limit of 6.28 degrees/s, the elevation
axis has an velocity limit of 1.0 degrees/s, and that the
deck axis has an velocity limit of 5.0 degrees/s.
vlimits scan, 6.28, 1.0, 5.0
- Context:
- Before the control system can point the telescope, the vlimits
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.
