alfosc-calibs |
[-e] [-skip] <date-string> |
Script to do biases and spectral calibs for all setups and windows used in a particular night.
Of course, this script should not be used for previous nights in case optical elements have been changed since.
The wheel setups are checked for inconsistencies in current vs stored wheel position content.
Any such inconsistent setup will be skipped, with a warning on the talker.
Command-line arguments:
[-e] echo mode: only show what will have be done in case started without the -e flag
<datestr> for expample 'ALwb13'
Spectroscopic and window setups are collected from the FITSheader database.
For all different window setups bias frames will be taken.
For all different setups with a grism in the beam, spectroscopic flats and arc-lamp spectra will be taken.
For flat/arc exposure times, alfosc.callampstimes is used.
Setups that are yet non-supported by alfosc.callampstimes will automatically be skipped, with a warning on the talker
When the flag -skip is given, the user is asked to specify interactively
from which GRISM or WINDOW setup to (re-)start alfosc-calibs.
Is supposed to work also for spectropolarimetry.

clearobject |
[-d] |
Clears the value of the FITS keyword OBJECT. |
DATA |
| alfosc |
clearobserver |
[-d] |
Clears the value of the FITS keyword OBSERVER. |
DATA |
| alfosc |
comment |
[-d] <text> |
Sets the FITS keyword COMMENT to <text>. Will be cleared after each image. FEB 13, 2013: This command is currently unavailable. |
DATA |
| alfosc |
filename |
[-d] <nn> |
Sets the default file name to <nn> (four characters). |
DATA |
| alfosc |
filenamestd |
[-d] |
Sets the filename back to the default file name. |
DATA |
| alfosc |
focuspyr |
|
Interactively examine a focus pyramid image to determine the focus offset required to bring the telescope in focus. The estimated best focus offset determined by the focuspyr-auto script will be presented on screen for comparison. |
DATA |
| alfosc |
focuspyr-auto |
[<file>] |
Computes the required telescope focus offset from a Focus Pyramid image <file>. If no input file is given (full path), the last image in the data directory will be used. |
DATA |
| alfosc |
imexam |
|
Initiates an IRAF imexam session on the image currently loaded into the ALFOSC DS9. While active in the imexam session, no further commands can be issued from the sequencer window. To kill the imexam session type q on the image in the postprocessing display.

impath |
[-d] <text> |
Sets the path of the image saving to <text>. |
DATA |

imtype |
[-d] <text> |
Sets the FITS keyword IMTYPE to <text>. |
DATA |
| alfosc |
log-comment |
"Comment in quotes" [file1 file2 ...] |
When invoked with just the comment, it will be applied to the latest available image with a prefix for the current night (which starts at noon) and the sequencer's instrument.
If image names are provided, the program will test the existence of ALL them before applying the change.
Eg.
$ alfosc.log-comment "This is a comment"
$ alfosc.log-comment "Comment for two" ALug170154 ALug170155
Notice that there's no need to add the ".fits" after each image's name
If no arguments are provided, a usage message is displayed |
DATA |
| alfosc |
object |
[-d] <text> |
Sets the FITS keyword OBJECT to <text>. |
DATA |
| alfosc |
observer |
[-d] <text> |
Sets the FITS keyword OBSERVER to <text>. |
DATA |
| alfosc |
photstd |
[-e] [-a mode] [-f filterIDs] |
Automatic exposure of standard stars.
Goes to nearest standard field and does exposures in filters UBVRi as default - or filters specified by the user.
Currently supports UBVRi and
in the future sdss ugriz. Other filters can be done, but will have the same exposure times, set by the variable default_time.
Instead of going to the nearest field, aquisition mode can be set to a specific target. The TCS name must be used, see http://www.not.iac.es/instruments/alfosc/photstd/.
Usage example:
alfosc.photstd -a A_PG1633+099 -f "74 75 120 110"

rempath |
[-d] <nn> |
Sets the remote saving path to <nn>. |
DATA |
| alfosc |
remsave_off |
[-d] |
Turns off remote saving. |
DATA |
| alfosc |
remsave_on |
[-d] |
Turns on remote saving. |
DATA |
| alfosc |
remsystem |
[-d] <nn> |
Sets the remote host computer to <nn>. |
DATA |
| alfosc |
reset-log |
|
The script will use infosys.kill to reset the monitoring system, then it will wait for a set number of seconds, and at last it will instruct the obslog to show the listing for alfosc, all the while informing the user about what is happening
If there's any error, the script will notify the user and suggest further actions. |
DATA |
| alfosc |
restore-uparm |
|
Populates the iraf uparm directory, used by the pyraf based sequencer scripts, with some known working parameter files.
|
DATA |
| alfosc |
runselector |
