Step 5: Running the scheduler

Schedule output (continued)
Target list.
If you have selected ACP as your scripting
system, the scheduler will produce a target list to be executed by the
MU image acquisition script. This text file contains most of the
information displayed on the scheduler summary file, plus high precision target positions,
rates of motion in right ascension and declination, and image file names. The name of the
target list file is obtained from the name of the text file containing the list of observation
requests by first removing its extension and then adding the suffix
_shoot.txt.
For example, if the observation requests are contained in file
TAO\schedule\myRequests.stg, the target list file will be
TAO\schedule\myRequests_shoot.txt. A sample target list
file is shown below:

Orchestrate scripts.
If you selected Orchestrate as your scripting
system, the scheduler will produce a set of text files, each of which will contain a short
Orchestrate script which will move the telescope to one of the targets and take the
corresponding image. These text files will be saved to the
directory specified in the scheduler configuration file.
A sample Orchestrate script file is shown below:
WaitFor , 0 ,
SlewToRADec , 17.67175h -66.55461d , 2000 SP44
WaitFor , 2 ,
SetResolution, Medium,
SetFrameMode, Light,
TakeImage , 180 , 2000 SP44
|
Note: Before running the scheduler, make sure that the
directory where Orchestrate scripts will be saved
is empty. At this time the scheduler does not remove pre-existing files from this directory before
generating new files. This inconvenience should be removed in the near future.
