TAURUS_INIT

Initialises the specified mechanism

Format: TAURUS_INIT <mechanism>

Parameters: Possiblle values of <mechanism> are ALL, TAPERTURE, ETALON, TFFILTER, TFTILT, IRIS, TPFILTER, TFOCUS

Defaults: None

Examples : TAURUS_INIT TFFILTER or TAURUS_INIT ALL

Comments: This command issues a request to the TAURUS local controller to initialise the specified mechanism. If 'ALL` is specified then all mechanisms will be initialised. Note that initialisation of IRIS and TFOCUS can be slow (up to 100 seconds). When the focal plane filter wheel is initialised you will be asked whether the tilt mechanism is already parked, and will have to check the tilt status on the mimic display.
