| | 3 | == Missing mirrors in the reference measurement of AOA == |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | The ultimate goal here is for the mirror locations for each mirror to be |
| | 6 | in a file called mirror_locations.txt on the wave computer in the location |
| | 7 | C:\aoa\mirror_locations.txt. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | Step 1: Obtain a spot image of the reference grid. |
| | 10 | - under the wavescope software go to the menu selection |
| | 11 | Alignment->Manual, select the "Show Spot Image" under the |
| | 12 | Reference Source. |
| | 13 | - snap an image using the command "snap <filename>" |
| | 14 | (this will save the image in E:<filename>.fits) |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | Step 3: Check spot locations |
| | 17 | - ds9 /home/mars/guider/wave/<filename>.fits |
| | 18 | - see if the spot locations are close to existing mirror_locations.txt. |
| | 19 | - you may want to copy over the mirror_locations.txt to E as well to make this go faster. |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | Step 4: Create new spot locations if needed |
| | 22 | - (iraf stuff) |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | Step 5: Copy the new mirror_locations.txt to the AOA software directory |
| | 25 | - place a copy of the new file in /home/mars/guider/wave/mirror_locations.txt and /home/mars/guider/wave/mirror_locations_YYYYMMDD.txt |
| | 26 | - go to the wave computer, open up the shortcut to aoa |
| | 27 | - rename the current mirror_locations.txt to mirror_locations.txt-old |
| | 28 | - navigate to the E: drive, copy the two new files to the aoa directory |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | Step 6: restart the wavescope software if needed. |
