Appendix 1: FLAMINGOS Command Listing and Partial Description of Function
A. Basic Instrument Configuration Commands
config.exposure.pl Sets object, filebase, orig_dir, exp_time.
config.filter.grism.decker.wheels.pl
Setup and move Filter, Grism and Decker wheels.
config.mos.wheel.pl Setup and move the MOS wheel.
initflam.pl Starts daemons and setup MCE4 array controller.
set.bias.pl Imaging use bias = 1.0 V; Spectroscopy use bias = 0.75 V.
set.exposuretime.pl Exposure time is in integer seconds; 2 seconds is the shortest.
set.filename.pl Set image's rootname and directory.
B. Basic Imaging Configuration and Acquistion Commands
config.dither.kpno.pl Select dither pattern and number of repeats.
dither.source.kpno.pl At present, only dithers on source in a square grid.
fast.singleimage.pl Automatically take a 1500 mS exposure time image.
more.singleimages.pl # Takes # of images with parameters set by config.exposure.pl.
singleimage.pl Automatically take an image with present integration parameters.
config.dither.strip.kpno.pl Used to setup a running strip of square dithered images.
dither.strip.clear.kpno.pl Takes a running strip of square dithered images.
C. Basic Spectroscopy (MOS and Long Slit) Configuration and Acquisition Commands
config.mos.dither.kp4m.pl Setup the spectroscopy ABBA parameters, including position angle.
dither.mos.kp4m.pl Take the spectrosopy ABBA data
set.new.mos.plate.names.pl Use when loading new MOS plates so their names are in the header.
D. Advanced Imaging and Spectroscopy Commands
config.chippa.kp4m.pl For setting the chip PA on the sky.
config.slit.chip.pa.kp4m.pl For setting the PA of the slit wrt the chip.
E. Telescope Information and Motion Controller
clear.offsets.kpno.pl Absorb present offsets into the present position; offsets now 0, 0.
offset.kpno.pl Absolute offset wrt pointing center of telescope.
relative.offset.kpno.pl Offset telescope wrt the present offsets.
wcsinfo.pl Request the present TCS information.
