This is an Engineering Interface Engineering Commands and is to be issued at the engineering interface.
QUADRANT Command
| Format: | QUADRANT n
n = quadrant number - see description. |
| Description: | Move the fibre viewing system so that it is viewing and adjacent (but overlapping) section of the fieldplate to that currently being viewed. If we assume that the current position is surrounded by 8 equal area sections of fieldplate (as in a 3 by 3 grid) then the top left section is quadrant 1 and the sections are numbered in clockwise order. Range of n is 1-8. If this command is to be used for searching for fibres it is recommended that a sequence of commands to patrol a spiral search area is written down. |
| Example: | Engineering command > quadrant 3 |
For further information refer to the `AF2 Control System Software Manual'.
