The following example shows a simple macro that moves a star to five positions on the detector, starts a read at each in J-filter and saves the data.
Example 1:
filter J | ;set filter to J |
read | ;start the 1st read |
sync | ;wait until the read is finished |
tele rel 25 25 | ;move the telescope |
save -i -f 2 | ;save the data as integrated starting from the second frame |
sync tele | ;wait until move and save is finished |
read | ;start the 2nd read |
sync | |
tele rel -50 0 | |
save -i -f 2 | |
sync tele | |
read | |
sync | |
tele rel 0 -50 | |
save -i -f 2 | |
sync tele | |
read | |
sync | |
tele rel 50 0 | |
save -i -f 2 | |
sync tele | |
read | |
sync | |
tele rel -25 25 | |
save -i -f 2 | |
sync tele
|
The following example shows a simple macro that takes some darks with different integration-time 'time' in seconds and cycle repeat count.
Example 2:
filter blank | ;move the 3 filter wheels to the position BLANK |
sync wheel | ;wait until the wheels are stopped |
object darks | ;sets 'darks' as object in the FITS-header |
crep 6; | ;when starting a measurement with 'read', '6' images are taken. |
itime 1 | ;set the integration-time in 1 second |
read | ;start the 1st read |
sync read | ;wait until the read is finished |
save -f 2 | ;save the data individually starting from the second frame |
sync | ;wait until the save is finished | itime 3 |
read | |
sync read | |
save -f 2 | |
sync | itime 5 |
read | |
sync read | |
save -f 2 | |
sync | itime 10 |
read | |
sync read | |
save -f 2 | |
sync |
