System | Command | Arguments | Description | Type |
alfosc |
abort |
[-d] |
Aborts an ongoing exposure. |
DET |
alfosc |
addtime |
[-d] <nn> |
Adds <nn> seconds to an ongoing exposure (<nn> can be negative). |
DET |
alfosc |
ampl |
[-d] <x> |
Sets the active amplifier to <x>, where <x> can be A, B, C, D, AB, BC, AD, CD or DEFAULT. DEFAULT is amplifier D |
DET |
alfosc |
bin |
[-d] <n> |
Sets the binning factor in both X and Y directions to <n>. |
DET |
alfosc |
dark |
[-d] [-t] [-f] [-n]<tt> |
Makes a dark exposure of <tt> seconds. If <tt> is set to zero a BIAS exposure is made.
If the exposure time is larger then 60 seconds, automatic remnant removal is done before the exposure starts.
If the option [-f] (fast mode) is used, the prompt will be returned when the exposure time is over and before the readout begins.
If the option [-n] is used, there will be no automatic remnant removal. |
DET |
alfosc |
dither |
[-e] [-t] [-nowakeup] <pattern> <offset_size> <tt> |
Takes single exposures with exposure time <tt> at each pointing of the dither pattern <pattern> with offset <nn> arcseconds between each exposure. |
DET |
alfosc |
easyflat |
[-f] [-silent] [<N>] |
Makes <N> automated imaging skyflats. If <N> is not specified, one skyflat will be done. |
DET |
alfosc |
expose |
[-d] [-t] [-f] [-n]<tt> |
Makes an exposure of <tt> seconds.
Remnant removal is made before the exposure starts, if the exposure time is larger then 60 seconds. If the option [-n] is used, no remnant removal is done.
If the option [-f] (fast mode) is used, the prompt will be returned when the exposure time is over and before the readout begins. If [-f] is used, make sure that "alfosc.wait-camera-state idle"-command is given before any "alfosc_camera_commands".
If the exposure time is larger than 300 seconds, the time left until the rotator reaches its limit will be checked. If there is not time enough to complete the exposure, an error will be generated and the exposure will not start. |
DET |
alfosc |
focuswindow |
[-e] |
Sets the ALFOSC CCD to readout only a central 800x800 pixel unbinned window. |
DET |
alfosc |
mdark |
[-t] [-n] [-f]<tt> <nn> |
Makes <nn> dark exposures of <tt> seconds. If the [-t] flag is used, a simulated exposure is made. If the exposure time is larger then 60 seconds, automatic remnant removal is done before the exposure starts. If the option [-f] (fast mode) is used, the prompt will be returned when the exposure time is over and before the readout begins. If the option [-n] is used, there will be no automatic remnant removal. |
DET |
alfosc |
mexpose |
[-t] [-n] [-f]<tt> <nn> [<imtype>] |
Makes <nn> exposures of <tt> seconds.
Remnant removal is made before the exposure starts, if the exposure time is larger then 60 seconds. If the option [-n] is used, no remnant removal is done. If the option [-f] (fast mode) is used, the prompt will be returned when the exposure time is over and before the readout begins. If [-f] is used, make sure that "alfosc.wait-camera-state idle"-command is given before any "alfosc_camera_commands". If the exposure time is larger than 300 seconds, the time left until the rotator reaches its limit will be checked. If there is not time enough to complete the exposure, an error will be generated and the exposure will not start.

DET |
alfosc |
readout |
[-d] |
Closes the shutter and readout the ccd. The exposure must first be put in the background. Does not work correctly when using a window in Y direction. |
DET |
alfosc |
readspeed |
[-d] <readout_speed> |
Sets the CCD readout speed to <readout_speed> kpix/second. Valid values for <readout_speed> are 100, 200, 400 or 800. |
DET |
alfosc |
remove_remnants |
|
Remove remnants from the CCD |
DET |
alfosc |
resetxy |
[-d] |
Resets the ccd binning to 1, the X and Y size to maximum and the X and Y beginning to 1. |
DET |
alfosc |
single-mdark |
[-t] <tt> <nn> |
Makes <nn> dark exposures of <tt> seconds. |
DET |
alfosc |
single-mexpose |
[-t] <tt> <nn> [<imtype>] |
Makes <nn> exposures of <tt> seconds. |
DET |
alfosc |
xbeg |
[-d] <nn> |
Sets the X beginning to <nn>. |

DET |
alfosc |
ysize |
[-d] <nn> |
