gThe "stow_pars" command.
Index
stow_pars az, el
Configure the running parameters of software mediated stows.
- Mandatory arguments:
-
Double az
- The azimuth of the desired stow position (degrees).
Double el
- The elevation of the desired stow position (degrees).
- Example:
- The following example tells the control system to move the
telescope to an azimuth of 180 degrees and an elevation of 89
degrees when asked to stow the telescope under software control.
stow_pars 180.0, 89.0
- Context:
- This command tells the control system how to stow the telescope
when this is done under software servo control. Specifically it
tells the control system what azimuth and elevation to slew
to. These parameters override defaults which stow the telescope at
az=180, el=90 degrees. Note that this command has no affect on
hardware mediated stows, because the end points of hardware stows
are set by physical limit switches, rather than by encoder
positions.
