Appendix 1: FLAMINGOS Command Listing and Short Description of Function
A. Basic Instrument Configuration Commands
config.exposure.pl Set object, filebase, data directory, exposure time.
config.filter.grism.decker.wheels.pl Set up and move Filter and Decker wheels.
config.rel.mv.filter.grism.decker. Execute relative motion of Filter, Grism, or Decker wheel
wheels.pl
config.rel.mv.mos.wheel.pl Move the MOS wheel in relative motion mode.
initflam.pl Initialize FLAMINGOS: start daemons and 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 rootname and directory.
B. Basic Imaging Configuration and Acquisition 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 Take a 1500 ms exposure time image.
more.singleimages.pl # Take # images with parameters set by config.exposure.pl.
singleimage.pl Take an image with current integration parameters.
config.dither.strip.kpno.pl Set up a running strip of square dithered images.
dither.strip.clear.kpno.pl Take a running strip of square dithered images.
C. Basic Spectroscopy (MOS and Long Slit) Configuration and Acquisition Commands
config.mos.dither.kp4m.pl Set up the spectroscopy ABBA parameters, including position angle.
dither.mos.kp4m.pl Take spectroscopy data in the ABBA pattern.
set.new.mos.plate.names.pl Define names of new MOS plates so their names are in the header.
D. Advanced Imaging and Spectroscopy Commands
config.chippa.kp4m.pl Set the chip PA on the sky.
config.slit.chip.pa.kp4m.pl Set the PA of the slit wrt the chip.
E. Telescope Information and Motion Controller
clear.offsets.kpno.pl Absorb offsets into the current position; zero coordinates.
offset.kpno.pl Absolute offset wrt pointing center of telescope.
relative.offset.kpno.pl Offset telescope wrt the present position.
wcsinfo.pl Request the present TCS information.
