The mirrorCtrl mirror controller actor controls one telescope mirror. It accepts desired orientation and commands mirror motion accordingly.
Information on directly commanding mirrors from the TCC can be found here
mirrorCtrl is written in pure python. It is presently designed to command a Galil mirror controller, but one may add support for other low-level motion controllers.
mirrorCtrl is written pure Python. Source code documentation is available, generated by Doxygen.
Connect the mirror controller to the galil. This command will be necessary after talk2boxes is used.
Disconnect the mirror controller from the galil.
Disconnect yourself from the mirror controller.
Send an arbitrary Galil command to the Galil mirror controller. The command may include spaces and punctuation, as needed. The command need not be surrounded by double quotes, but if you do provide them, they will be ignored.
Example Galil commands:
galil A=1; B=1; C=1; XQ#HOME
(though the command home is easier and safer)
galil MG MARGA
will print the value of variable MARGA
(though the command showparams is easier)
Note: this command attempts to be clever about making sure it sees a terminating OK
from the Galil. If your command includes an XQ#...
command, or if your command ends with MG "OK"
then it passes the command along "as is"; otherwise it appends ; MG "OK"
to your command.
Home the desired actuators, where actuator list is a comma-separated list of actuator letters A through F (but some mirrors have fewer than 6 actuators).
Warning: this command typically takes a very long time and typically shoul be performed with the telescope at a specific altitude.
Move the mirror to the desired orientation. Units are um for lengths and arcseconds for angles. Arguments may only appear in the exact order listed above. If fewer than 5 axes are specified, the remaining non-specified axes are assumed to be zero. At least 1 axis (piston) must be specified for a valid command.
You may not command orientation for constrained axes (e.g. rotation about Z). Most mirrors have 5 degrees of freedom, but a few only have 3.
In detail, moves are performed as follows:
Offset the mirror orientation by the desired amount. Units are um for lengths and arcseconds for angles. Arguments may only appear in the exact order listed above. If fewer than 5 axes are specified, the remaining non-specified axes are assumed to be zero. At least 1 axis (piston) must be specified for a valid command.
See move for more information.
Query the Galil for parameters. See Galil Documentation for more info.
Reconnect the Galil, if disconnected, stop motion and any executing commands, and return status.
Query the Galil for status.
The keyword manual doc/messageKeywords.html
is auto-generated from the mirror.py
file in the actorkeys package. To generate a new copy:
$ setup mirrorCtrl
$ cd $MIRRORCTRL_DIR

The default title and header are simply "mirror"; I recommend manually changing those two instances to "mirror controller keywords".
The following packages are required:
The following packages are optional:
The simplest way to build this package is:
Log files for the 3.5m mirror controller actors are kept on hub35m in the directory /home/tron/logs/tcc35m/.
