  10 --------- XEphem usage -------------------------------------------------
  11 !! preliminary: if you want to use xephem with the position of the telescope displayed in real time
  12 ! run the following sequence from the command prompt 
  13 slogin mrt-lx3
  14 ps xa |grep azElToXephem.py & ! check if the script is already running, if not do the following
  15 useNCS
  16 azElToXephem.py &
  17 ! once the script is running type:
  18 /vis/xephem/xephem
  19 
  20 ------- Managing Imbfits file -----------------------------------------------
  21 ; Telescope fits are in mrt-lx1
  22 /ncsServer/mrt/ncs/data/imbfits/bol
  23 on mrt-lx1 (not gra-lx1)
  24 
  25 or best
  26 /ncsServer/mrt/ncs/data/20120604/scans
  27 
  28 /ncsServer/mrt/ncs/data/20120604/datastreams/bbc
  29 
  30 processed imbfits files are
  31 /ncs/data/imbfits/bol/
  32 ; Or in ?
  33 /ncsServer/mrt/ncs/data/datastreams/nika/2012
  34 ; Or in ?
  35 /ncsServer/mrt/ncs/data/imbfits/bol
  36 
  37 ; There is a script to copy imbfits files from Iram to sami locally e.g.
  38 ./Backup_telescope.bash 20121024
  39 
  40 ; To process NIKA raw data files onto fits files and imbfits files
  41 ; log in sami on a dedicated window

  67 !!! The observer should be able to run @ini to have all the following commands in the script file
  68 !!!  Attention, ini is the new init file for NIKA, do not use the old nini which will create problems !!!
  69 
  70 
  71 !!! Check that the NCS knows the current project is t21
  72 !!! otherwise the telescope will not obey you pako commands !
  73 !!! --> look at the OperatorControl screen and/or ask the operator
  74 
  75 set project t21
  76 set pi "Alain"
  77 set observer "Nika observer"  ! your name here, Nika needs you
  78 
  79 ! If not sending commands (outside normal run) do:
  80 SET DOSUBMIT NO
  81 
  82 SET LEVEL 0 0   ! very verbose
  83 SET LEVEL 1 1   ! chatty
  84 SET LEVEL 3 3   ! less

  86 
  87 ! Choose one of the 2 azimuth topology possibilities to decide on which end of the 
  88 ! azimuth overlap you want to set the origin of the 360 degrees azimuth circle
  89 ! May be usefull to avoid a complete turn (>8min) to go from one source ot another
  90 SET TOPOLOGY LOW ! selects to use the azimuth range 60 to 420 degrees 
  91 SET TOPOLOGY HIGH ! selects to use the azimuth range 100 to 460 degrees 
  92

 127 ! if you want that the telescope executes your commands do no forget
 128 SET DOSUBMIT YES
 129 
 130 ! start an observation (MAKE SURE you want that)
 131 START

 136 !!!!!!!!! Observing modes !!!!!!!
 137 
 138 ! procedures for tunning:
 139 @ diy-test-00.pako ! 11 seconds track with 440 330 RA DEC offset to tune NIKA resonances
 140 !   Note the text parameter "Tune" is sent through NCS (then Elvin) to be used by data acquisition
 141 ! 
 142 @ diy-test-03.pako ! big 600x600 arcsec OTF map with 66 steps of 20" each, and 10 seconds pause
 143 !  at each end of subscan for frequency tunning, the text parameter sent by NCS is "big OTF with tunes"
 144 !
 145 @ diy-test-12.pako ! sky dip from 1.1 to 3.5 airmass by step of 0.4, with 11 sec for tunning
 146 !  followed by 22 sec for measure at each step, the text parameter sent by NCS is "tuned Tip"
 147 
 148 
 149 
 150 ! procedure to focus
 151 ! to set focus correction in mm wrt the current focus
 152 SET FOCUS -2.4
 153 
 154 ! Change the Nasmyth offset to chose a pixel a being the reference for the pointing
 155 ! (can be determined after a pointing session = pointing ~ 30 pointing sources)

 168 ! then it is in x and y as above
 169 
 170 ! or
 171 
 172 OFFSET a b /SYSTEM trueHorizon

 203 ! Corrections in arcsec found during the "cross" reduction.
 204 ! These corrections are to be added as is, there's no "offset" to remember whatsoever
 205 ! Pointing corrections should be done in az, el, not nasmyth, R. Zylka private communication
 206 SET POINTING 3.4 -1.2

 234 !! on the tracking errors trackAz and trackEl in real time on the telescope control screen
 235 !! this information is also stored in the FITs files (you can go much faster, 
 236 !! check tabble of speed limit depending on elevation posted on the wiki)

 265 ! better now: use @ diy-test-12.pako which includes pauses for tuning
 266

 275 ! projection is RADEC system here
 276 ! can use /SYSTEM trueHorizon too
 277 !
 278 ! if wobbler on use the following special mode
 279 ! in that case the off position is automatically on the off wobbler position
