Instructions for doing remote inclinometry
Instructions for doing remote inclinometry
These are special instructions in addition to
those for 'normal' inclinometry,
and should be read in conjunction with the
protocols for doing remote
activities at JCMT.
NB : The telescope drives should be left ON, but the summit software run DOWN.
- It is vitally important for the safety of anyone who may
be in the JCMT building that you read again the
protocols for doing remote
inclinometry and ensure compliance. Thank you.
-
On your unix machine in Hilo, open up 3 xterms - the equivalent of the
TCS NBS & OPS Decterms
- On TCS do
- xhost +pueo.jcmt
- rlogin -l operator pueo.jcmt and give password
- cleanup
- xdisplay
- tcs : the PTCS User Interface then opens
- On NBS do
- xhost +mwttel.jcmt
- rlogin -l operator mwttel.jcmt
- nbs_load
- Wait for the message "Please continue with TCS loading" before
proceeding to next step.
- On OPS do
- xhost +mwttel.jcmt
- rlogin -l operator mwttel.jcmt
- $ o inc etc
The telescope position is displayed on the PTCS UI
Should the antenna need commands click Options on that GUI
and select Tcl Commands. A window opens into which commands
may be typed. eg :
obey TEL ABORT
to stop telescope motion
- Perform inclinometry as described on
web page.
- Read again the
protocols for doing remote
inclinometry and end the session safely. Thank you.
- Use incline_centre to move telescope out of 5th quadrant.
- Shutdown software as described on
web page.
