CIRSI TCS parameter change to define ROT SKY 0 On the 1/6/98 we found with ROT SKY 167 the orientation of the reference chip was as it should be with ROT SKY 0. Here the instruction how to tweak the TCS parameters to establish this orientation as ROT SKY 0: - login on LPVB as TCS_LOGIN - select GSEXAM - exa mec_ar_dat(4).limit exa enc_ad_zeropt(4) /* to display the actual values */ with this default values the PF rotator limits are -85.51 and 271.48 (type USER> SHOW LIMITS) and mec_ar_dat(4).limit.pos_plus = 4.7383 mec_ar_dat(4).limit.pos_minus = -1.4925 enc_ad_zeropt(4) = 4.7656 - now change the values by -2.914699 (-167 degree), type dep mec_ar_dat(4).limit.pos_plus = 4.7383 - 2.914699 dep mec_ar_dat(4).limit.pos_minus = -1.4925 - 2.914699 dep enc_ad_zeropt(4) = 4.7656 - 2.914699 - it is important now to zeroset the PF rotator incremental encoder, type USER> ZERO ROT ABS with this new values the PF rotator limits are -252.51 and 104.48 (type USER> SHOW LIMITS) you may now iconize the GSEXAM session 5/6/98 Juerg Rey CIRSI INSTRUCTIONS 06/07/99 ============================= TCS: STATION PRIME INSTRUMENT OWN ROT SKY 0 TELESCOPE FOCUS 87.40mm ENTER AP OFFSET FOR CIRSI ENTER AP 1 320 320 ENTER AP 2 320 -320 ENTER AP 3 -320 320 ENTER AP 4 -320 -320 ENTER AP 5 400 400 ENTER AP 6 400 -400 ENTER AP 7 -400 400 ENTER AP 8 -400 -400 CIRSI TEAM DO DITHERING MODE FROM SCRIPS IN ICL.
