Focal Station Setup

To setup the TCS for the desired focal station, the following ICL commands are necessary:

LOAD DISK$USER1:[RL.TAG]TAG_PROCS

TAGLOAD

These two commands load and run Robert Laing's TAGLOAD procedure, which is needed for the GSSEARCH procedure for acquiring guide stars (see Section 4.7). Next,

ACQCONFIG <station>,

where <station> is either Prime or Cass. Finally, if at Prime Focus, you should type:

ADC_AUTO ENABLE,

and the ADC will then be automatically adjusted for varying elevation.
