Check if all components are in the enabled state.

Parameters:

message: `str`: Additional message to append to error.

async check_comp_heartbeat(component: str) → None¶

Monitor heartbeats from the specified component and raises and exception if not.

This method will run forever as long as the component continues to send heartbeats. The intention is that this can run alongside an operation, to make sure the component remains responsive.

Parameters:

componentstr: Name of the component to follow. The name of the CSC follow the format CSCName or CSCName:index (for indexed components), e.g. “Hexapod:1” (for Hexapod with index=1) or “ATHexapod”.

Parameters:

componentstr: Name of the component to follow. Must be one of: atmcs, atptg, ataos, atpneumatics, athexapod, atdome, atdometrajectory

This method monitors all the required parameters for tracking a target; from telescope and pointing component to the dome.

If any of those conditions fails, raise an exception.

This method is useful in case an operation required tracking to be active and be interrupted in case tracking stops. One can start this method concurrently and monitor it for any exception. If an exception is raise, the concurrent task can be interrupted or marked as failed as appropriately.

If a track_duration is specified, the method will return after the time has passed. Otherwise it will just check forever.

Parameters:

track_durationfloat or None: How long should tracking be checked for (second)? Must be a positive float or None (default).

async offset_azel(az: float, el: float, relative: bool = True, persistent: Optional[bool] = None, absorb: bool = False) → None¶

Offset telescope in azimuth and elevation.

For more information see the Notes section below or the package documentation in https://ts-observatory-control.lsst.io/.

Parameters:

azfloat: Offset in azimuth (arcsec).
elfloat: Offset in elevation (arcsec).
relativebool, optional: If True (default) offset is applied relative to the current position, if False offset replaces any existing offsets.
persistentbool or None, optional (deprecated): (Deprecated) Should the offset be absorbed and persisted between slews? Use of this parameter is deprecated. Use absorb instead.
absorbbool, optional: Should the offset be absorbed and persisted between slews? (default: False)

See also

offset_xy: Offsets in the detector X/Y plane.
offset_radec: Offset in sky coordinates.
reset_offsets: Reset offsets.

Notes

The persistent flag is deprecated. Use absorb instead.

There are a couple different ways users can modify how offsets are treated via the input flags relative and absorb.

These flags allows users to control the following behavior;

1 - If the offset is relative to the current position
(relative=True) or relative to the pointing origin (e.g. the initial slew position).

2 - If the offset will only apply only to the current target
(absorb=False) or if they will be absorbed by the pointing and persist after a new targets (absorb=True).

By default relative=True and absorb=False, which means offsets will be relative to the current position and will reset after a slew.

The default relative offsets will accumulate. For instance,

>>> await tcs.offset_azel(az=10, el=0)
>>> await tcs.offset_azel(az=0, el=10)

Will result in a 10 arcsec offset in both azimuth and elevation.

Non-relative offsets will overrides any previous non-relative offset. For instance, the pair of commands below:

>>> await tcs.offset_azel(az=10, el=0)
>>> await tcs.offset_azel(az=0, el=10)

Results in only 10 arcsec offset in elevation, e.g., is equivalent to just doing the second command;

>>> await tcs.offset_azel(az=0, el=10, relative=True)

This is because the non-relative offset requested by the second command will reset the offset done on the previous command.

It is important to keep in mind that these offsets can also be combined with one another. For instance, if you do;

>>> await tcs.offset_azel(az=10, el=0)
>>> await tcs.offset_azel(az=0, el=10)
>>> await tcs.offset_azel(az=0, el=10, relative=False)

You will get 10 arcsec offset in azimuth and 20 arcsec in elevation.

Nevertheless, if after doing the above you do;

>>> await tcs.offset_azel(az=0, el=0, relative=False)

It will result in a 10 arcsec offset in both azimuth and elevation, from the relative offsets done previously.

In all cases above, the offset will be overwritten if a new target is sent, e.g.;

>>> await tcs.offset_azel(az=10, el=0, relative=True)
>>> await tcs.offset_azel(az=0, el=10, relative=True)
>>> await tcs.offset_azel(az=0, el=10)
>>> await tcs.slew_object("HD 164461")  # reset all offsets above

Will result in a slew with no offsets.

If you want offsets to persist between slews use absorb=True.

The relative flag applies the same way to absored offsets.

The following sequence of commands;

>>> await tcs.offset_azel(az=10, el=0, relative=True, absorb=True)
>>> await tcs.offset_azel(az=0, el=10, relative=True, absorb=True)
>>> await tcs.offset_azel(az=0, el=10, relative=False, absorb=True)
>>> await tcs.slew_object("HD 164461")

Will result in a slew offset by 10 arcsec in azimuth and 20 arcsec in elevation.

Notes

The persistent flag is deprecated. Use absorb instead.

If the image is displayed with the x-axis in horizontal position, increasing from left to right, a positive x-offset will result in the field-of-view moving to the right, and therefore, the stellar positions will move to the left.

If the image is displayed with y-axis in vertical position, increasing from bottom to top, a positive y-offset will result in field-of-view moving up, and therefore, the stellar positions will move down.

decfloat, str or astropy.coordinates.Angle: Target Dec, either as a float (deg), a sexagesimal string (DD:MM:SS.S or DD MM SS.S) coordinates or astropy.coordinates.Angle.
rotfloat, str or astropy.coordinates.Angle: Specify desired rotation angle. The value will have different meaning depending on the choince of rot_type parameter. Accepts float (deg), sexagesimal string (DD:MM:SS.S or DD MM SS.S) coordinates or astropy.coordinates.Angle
rot_typelsst.ts.observatory.control.utils.RotType: Rotation type. This parameter defines how rot_value is threated. Default is SkyAuto, the rotator is positioned with respect to the North axis and is automatically wrapped if outside the limit. See RotType for more options.
target_namestr: Target name.
slew_timeoutfloat: Timeout for the slew command (second). Default is 240s.

Returns:

radec_icrsastropy.coordinates.ICRS: Coordinates used in slew command.
rot_angleastropy.coordinates.Angle: Angle used in command for rotator.

Other Parameters:

drafloat, optional: Differential Track Rate in RA (second/second). Default is 0.
ddecfloat, optional: Differential Track Rate in Dec (arcsec/second). Default is 0.
offset_xfloat, optional: Apply offset to original slew position (in arcsec).
offset_yfloat, optional: Apply offset to original slew position (in arcsec).
az_wrap_strategyazWrapStrategy or None, optional: Azimuth wrap strategy. By default use maxTimeOnTarget=3, which attempts to maximize the time on target. Other options are; 1-noUnWrap, 2-optimize.
time_on_targetfloat, optional: Estimated time on target, in seconds. This is used by the optimize azimuth wrap algorithm to determine whether it needs to unwrap or not.
stop_before_slewbool: Stop tracking before starting the slew? This option is a workaround to some issues with the ATMCS not sending events reliably.
wait_settlebool: Wait telescope to settle before returning? It True add an additional sleep of self.tel_settle_time to the telescope positioning algorithm. Otherwise the algorithm will return as soon as it receives allAxesInPosition event from the ATMCS.
