How to deploy calibration unit
Deploy the arms from GUI (preferred)
Prerequisite
- Telescope at zenith.
- Stow pins in.
- ARGOS software running (see: HowToStartSoftware).
- Corresponding LBC swingarm (SX or DX PFC) in park position.
Procedure
- Open swing arm GUI (Applications->ARGOS common)
- Check in the "telescope" tab that all conditions are "yes".
- Select the "basic" tab.
- Press "move to working position" button.
- The "absolute encoder position" value should change.
Deploy the arms via web browser
Instructions for the DX unit.
- With telescope at Zenith enable Stow Pins
- login into LALAS, see UsefulLoginInfo
- Open firefox and open the following page: http://192.168.26.32/FILES/LBT.HTM
- Check that every bit is 1 in "receiveTeles Word" in ARGOS Swing Arm - LBT
- Check that the default parameters are set properly in "Tuning Parameters"
- Press "DX working position"
- Pos_ABS and Pos_INC in the Status table should change
- The bit no. 4 "in working position" should change to 1 when position is reached and Status in Status should tell position achieved (WP)
- Working position for DX is about Pos_ABS = 5872 for SX it is about POS_ABS=18662
Troubleshooting:
To move Receove Word should show:
- enable conditions are fulfilled = 0
- swing arm error = 0
- non-plausible command = 0
If not do a reset command.
To move receiveTeles Word
- telescope in zenith position = 1, means telescope on zenith and stow pins in!!
- global swing arm enabled = 1
- ARGOS swing arm enable = 1
- SX PFC in park position = 1, these are the prime focus cameras which can collide therefor they are interlocked.
- DX PFC in park position = 1
If not check with mountain crew to get the conditions!!
To move Tuning Parameters should be:
- Tuning Parameters should be like shown (V1,V2,V3 can be smaller, positions below can be slightly different, still ok)
If not set default parameters.
How to switch on calibration unit sources
- Login into LALAS, see UsefulLoginInfo
- Start DX.CAL.WHITE_LIGHT_SOURCE.BASDARD or check that it is running (http://localhost:2812)
- Start DX.CAL.DIODE_SOURCE.BASDARD or check that it is running (http://localhost:2812)
- For DX WhiteLightSource type into terminal:
argos_dx_cal_white_light_source_gui
or click on the "DX_CAL_Whitelight_source_gui" button
- For SX WhiteLightSource type into terminal:
argos_sx_cal_white_light_source_gui
- For OFF-AXIS SOURCES type into terminal:
argos_dx_cal_diode_source_gui
How to deploy calibration unit (old mode, credits Gustavo, kept only for historical reference)
- With telescope at Zenith enable Stow Pins
- Find the swing arm laptop in the ARGOS Gustavo's cabinet on 3U
- Connect laptop to power cord and gray ethernet cable close to the Laser systems on left side of ARGOS platform at lvl 6
- Login into laptop, see UsefulLoginInfo
