alfosc.exit |
[-d] |
Exits the ALFOSC BIAS program. |

alfosc |
alfosc.remote-slitoff |
[slit=<slitno>|xref=<x> yref=<y>] xstar=<x> ystar=<y> [xbin=<xbinning> ybin=<ybinning> xbeg=<x window begin> ybeg=<y window begin>] |
Calculates the telescope offset required to bring a target onto a given slit and performs the required telescope offset. See the ALFOSC Sequencer Command and Script Reference for a full description. |
TEL |
alfosc |
alfoscfocus |
[-d] [ready] [step] <n> |
Moves ALFOSC internal focus to step position <n>. [ready] Returns '0' if the element is moving, '1' if it is ready. [step] returns the step position [0-2700] of the ALFOSC internal focus. |
INST |
alfosc |
autosave_off |
[-d] |
Turns off autosave. |
DATA |
alfosc |
autosave_on |
[-d] |
Turns on autosave. |
DATA |
alfosc |
edit-slitpos |
[ editor ] -h -test |
Edit the slitpos.def file and make sure the values on it are sane. As an alternative, it can be used only in "test" mode to check the file, without launching the editor. |
INST |
alfosc |
focus-auto |
<step-size> [<image>] |
Computes the best focus value from a focus sequence image <image> taken with the command focusexpose with focus step-size <step-size>. If no filename is given, the last obtained image name will be used. |
DATA |
alfosc |
focusexpose |
[-d] <nnnn> <mm> <tt> |
Makes a focus exposure. <nnnnn> is the focus start value, <mm> is the step size and <tt> is the exposure time per sub-exposure. 7 sub-exposures will be made. |
DET |
alfosc |
gainron |
[<file>] |
Computes detector gain and read-out-noise based on two bias frames and two flat fields, <file> being the last in the sequence. If no filename is given, the last obtained image name will be used. |
DATA |
alfosc |
hgalign |
[-e] [exptime] |
Script for aligning ALFOSC optics. See ALFOSC staff pages for instructions. |
DET |
alfosc |
hsalign |
[-e] [exptime] |
Script for aligning ALFOSC optics. See ALFOSC staff pages for instructions. |
DET |
alfosc |
qc-script |
|
Takes beta-light bias frames and flat fields for ALFOSC quality control. Calculates gain and read-out-noise. |
DET |
alfosc |
read_alfosc_setup |
|
The command instructs the ALFOSC instrument user interface (UIF) to re-read the setup information. The corresponds to pressing the "read setup" button in the UIF. |
INST |
alfosc |
tiasgat |
|
Script for aligning ALFOSC optics. See ALFOSC staff pages for instructions. |
DATA |
alfosc |
vgalign |
[-e] [exptime] |
