ChangeLog 2003
Jan 2003
1/22 & 1/23 AO engineering. Using version 03.01. The modification include in
this new release include:
+ move west/east buttons on smirror dialog.
On TT diagram put E S labels next to actuators.
+ fast and easy "New.Pr.Flat" procedure implemented.
newprflat_percent to show status.
+ refresh dialog box when opening windows.
+ Rename command/variable with "primary" to "pr" for consistency.
+ Implemented Mark's sugguested changes to the PRTT algorithms.
+ Added TOD update to LP system. See if this fixes the
No_Timer_Interrupt_When_Using_DIO32 bug.
+ Improved TCSD. Better echo checking on input, and ignores '#' from serial port.
+ Renaming variables/commands:
input_imat[s][a] -> ttex_imat[s][a]
prgain2 -> ttex_gain[s][a]
PR_SERVO_PRTT -> PR_SERVO_TTEX
gain2 -> ttex.gain
input.imat.ele -> ttex.imat.ele
input.imat.read -> ttex.imat.read
+ Show more SMirror info on XUI's view->motor
Need to monitor sm_tracker task.
+ Redid shared memory reference. Using sm_t to hold sem, and pointers.
The 03.01 software work well on the Jan AO engineer run.
Started new development version: 03.02
+ Added peek.data command to query data values.
Added peek.var command to query status or parameter values.
Feb/Mar 2003
Development on version 03.02 continues.
+ Renamed computer from AOIC to AORT.
+ New password for ao, aroot -> IRTF stardard instrument password has changed.
+ Implemented sm.tracker task to support tracking of beam switch and dithering
commands sent to tcsd.
+ Code for many commands (ie: motors) moved from XUI to IC.
+ Some changes to allow for easier compiling between IRTF and H85.
+ Made modification to tcsd to support tcsd -> ao communications.
+ Did Steering mirror calibration based on last engineering run data.
Engineering run on march 11,12 will use version 03.02.
Apr
Engineering run Apr 7 to 9. Still using 03.02 (newer version not ready).
During the run, I made a modified 03.02_sm_update -> modified version
used updated values for new steering mirror-to-arcseconds transformation.
Installed version 03.03 on 4/21/2003. Changes include:
+ capture -> allow number of Samples.
-> control sequence from IDL routine.
+ tcsd -> make tcsd with ao.notify.enable on.
turn off/on ao.notify.enable
Installed on 3-18-2003
+ updated RedHat packages on 3-18-2003
+ aoui -> Convert from slackware to redhat.
need to have ssh working.
login as 'ao' from sun & redhat.
+ added ostool to help with AO on object
outside of the field w/wo non-sidereal rates.
+ adjust steering mirror Rotation, Scaling, and
translation due to hardware position change
of steering mirror.
+ tt_offload loop is updated every 5 sec (from 15 ).
focus_offload loop is updated every 10 sec (from 20 ).
+ update to IC command web documentation.
+ Install ao.0303 as current on 4/21/2003.
Engineering run Apr 23,24,25.
Switch over to 03.04 during engineering run. Changes during run include:
Fixed smirror.bin2as.scale 1.23975e-03 1.23975e-03
Fixed smirror.bin2as.rot 2.5
Tested and fixed bug in ostool (although doug disagrees with signs of ostool data files).
- able to perform io_ganymede observation with Jay Goguen.
- 4 apd ( and maybe counter not working after flashed with laser).
WFS optics problem still handicapping system.
May
New development version started (v03.05).
POA (Plan of Action)
- APD AC power control using IPC controllers.
