TUI:Scripts:Built In Scripts

Documentation for the scripts included with TUI.

• Run_Commands: run a sequence of commands (the simplest kind of scripting).
• DIS
  • Drift: take a time series of spectra by moving the object along the slit during each exposure.
  • Focus: determine the best focus.
• Echelle
  • Focus: determine the best focus.
  • Trail: trail the object back and forth along the slit during each exposure.
• NA2 Guider
  • Focus GMech: determine the best gmech focus.
  • Focus Sec: determine the best secondary mirror focus.
• NICFPS
  • Data Cube: take a sequence of exposures over a range of wavelengths.
  • Focus: determine the best focus.
  • FPCalibrate: take a sequence of images over a range of Fabry-Pérot etalon positions, as specified in a file.
  • Dither
    • Point Source: take a sequence of exposures in a small 5-point dither pattern.
    • Extended Source: take a set of pairs of exposures (one on object, one off object) while also moving around a small 5-point dither pattern.
• SPIcam
  • Focus: determine the best focus.
  • Sky Flats: take a sequence of twilight or morning flats, automatically increasing or decreasing the exposure time.
• Telescope
  • Pointing Data: collect data that can be used to fit a pointing model.
• TSpec
  • Focus: determine the best focus.
  • Nod: take a set of TripleSpec exposures alternating between two points A and B in the pattern A1 B1 B2 A2.
