Troubleshooting guide
Are you ready? (y/n)
This script will prompt you through the above 5 steps. Do them quickly, as guiding will be off during
them, and it needs to be restarted as soon as the last beam is defined. Answering "y" will generate the
following output:
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Step 1) Clear offsets.
If the telescope offsets are not zero, then they need to be zeroed.
Clear the offsets? (y/n)y
EXECUTING CLEAR OFFSET COMMAND:
/usr/local/uf2001May17/sbin/tcs2m "tele offset = zero"
Step 2: Guiding off.
Executing /home/raines/gdrrpc/gdrrpc guide off
Step 3a) Offset telescope to beam B.
EXECUTING OFFSET COMMAND:
/usr/local/uf2001May17/sbin/tcs2m "tele offset = 0.00, -4.00"
Step 3b) Manually move guide and AOI boxes to guide star.
On teal (the telescope control computer) run the 2m guider GUI.
While the gui has mouse focus, hold the shift while pressing the
arrow keys to move the guide boxes to your desired guide star.
Is it in location? (y/n) y
Quickly move the mouse cursor to hover over the Linux TV Guider GUI. Then use the up and down
arrow keys to move the guide box (the script says to hold the shift key, too, but this is no longer
necessary) until is is centered over the guide star. You should only need to move the up and down arrow
keys. This defines beam B, and lock position 2. Type "y" immediately after getting the box aligned, in
order to move onto beam A.
It will query the guider about the current position, and print some info to the screen. The next important
bit defines the final beam, A:
Step 4a) Offset telescope to beam A.
EXECUTING OFFSET COMMAND:
/usr/local/uf2001May17/sbin/tcs2m "tele offset = 0.00, 4.00"
Step 4b) Manually move guide and AOI boxes to the _SAME_ guide star.
On teal (the telescope control computer) run the 2m guider GUI.
While the gui has mouse focus, hold the shift while pressing the
arrow keys to move the guide boxes to your desired guide star.
Is it in location? (y/n) y
Quickly move the mouse cursor to hover over the Linux TV Guider GUI. Then use the up and down
arrow keys to move the guide box (the script says to hold the shift key, too, but this is no longer
necessary) until is is centered over the guide star. You should only need to move the up and down arrow
keys. This defines beam A, and lock position 1. Type "y" immediately after getting the box aligned. As
in the other beam, it will query the guider about the current position, and print some info to the screen.
The final important step resumes guiding, now in beam A if you answer "y":
Step 5) Start guiding in beam A?(y/n) y
