WHT ENGINEERING MIMIC CONTROL
revised 15/12/98
- switch position 'MIMIC' connects to engineering 4ms
- switch position 'CASS INST.' connects to cass 4ms
- switch position 'A-G' connects to A&G 4ms
- switch position 'UES' connects to UES 4ms
- switch position 'PRIME' connects to PRIME 4ms
I) commands to be used in 'MIMIC' position only:
ISIS|ISSA|AGCA ;display request for isis|slit area|A&G
SPECT|A&G ;destination type for messages; this must
;be set before sending a mechanism command!
GLOBALREQ ;to update status of all mechanisms
'mech' +WINDOW ;display 'mech' status on screen
-WINDOW ;remove 'mech' status from screen
II) how to issue mechanism commands in all switch positions:
| ;type this first
;after the colon type
: 'mechanism''command'('position')
examples : AGT101(50000) ;move autotheta
: AFO102 ;initialise autofocus
-> 'position' is needed for move command only!
Most used command options:
100 stop
101 move
102 initialise
181 reprogramme
200 im. status request
