AUTOMATIC OBSERVING PROGRAM

Use at your own risk



This is a modified version of a program written by Rick Fisher to create a "automatic" observing program.

The idea behind these routines is simple - you pick the area of the sky you wish to observe that night (east, south, or north) and then feed the program the starting lst, az angle, and zenith angle for your observations. The program will create a file called .exec which is just a series of "dosrc" commands for the telescope. This file should then be sourced once you've started the dataking routines and have set up the correlator.






THE DETAILS

The program input is as follows:


make____ start_lst(hh:mm) src.list [start_az start_za No_setups]


The source list should read as normal, execpt that a priority must be given to each object in the last column, after a comment ("#") symbol. This priority runs from 1 - 6, with 1 being objects of highest priority. If you wish to remove object from consideration, you can either comment them out (by placing a "#" at the beginning of the line) or simply give them a priority greater than 6.

An example source list might look like this :

	126 001344.7 +143625 j 0. # 1
	266 002722.8 +105054 j 0. # 2
	293 002919.8 +262435 j 0. # 3
	M03-03-021 003942.4 211405.9 j 0. # 6
	CGCG457_024 003948.6 211256.8 j 0. # 1
	424 003950.1 +203104 j 0. # 11
	795 011456.3 +122251 b 0. # 1
	1122 013419.6 +291552 j 0. # 1
	2580 031133.4 +064216 b 0. # 3
	U2588 031226.7 +142430 j 0. # 1


The output of the program is a file called "a9999.exec" (or whatever your project number is), which is the file to be sourced in vxworks (see below), and prog_summary, which summarizes what your a9999.exec file is going to do.


To run the program in the gui, just start up the gui as normal. At any point, you can tell the gui to begn your auto observe program by:

To re-compile the program (you may not need to), just type "make" in the directory with the source code.
