Other Changes and Additions

  • Updates to make the package compatible with salobj 8. Changes involves mostly updating how the async mock objects are created. Instead of relying in ts-idl and ts-salobj to generate specs for the remote’s, use the newly introduced method in ts-xml. (DM-40580)

v0.31.0

  • Add LSSTCam class to interface with the LSSTCam CSC using the BaseCamera interface.

  • In auxtel/atcs.py, update open_dome_shutter to also work when the dome is partially opened.

v0.25.0

  • In BaseTCS, add new offset_rot method to allow offsetting the rotator position.

v0.24.3

  • In tests/auxtel/test_atcs.py, implement some small improvements in the ATCS test case.

    • Call atcs.enable_dome_following in all test_slew. This will make sure the monitor_loop runs and checks the dome position.

    • Add two new slew tests:

      • Test slew icrs when telescope timeout arriving in position.

      This method can be used when performing optical alignment with the MTAlignment component or when performing optical alignment with curvature wavefront sensing to take the intra/extra focal data.

v0.22.1

  • Update ATCS unit test to use the new ATCSAsyncMock class.

  • Update MTCS unit test to use the new MTCSAsyncMock class.

  • Add new MTCSAsyncMock class that implements RemoteGroupAsyncMock for MTCS.

  • Add new ATCSAsyncMock class that implements RemoteGroupAsyncMock for ATCS.

  • In MTCS:

    • Add compatibility with xml>12.

    • Update reset_m1m3_forces to use mtm1m3.cmd_clearActiveOpticForces instead of setting the forces to zero.

  • Update pre-commit config file with latest version of libraries and to add support for isort and mypy and pyproject.toml to support isort.

  • In RemoteGroupAsyncMock:

    • In get_side_effects_for:

      • Change return type to Dict[str, Any].

      • Stop wrapping side effects in mocks.

      • Add side effect to handle flushing events.

  • Ignore files generated by pypi.

v0.22.0

  • Add new type hints to allow type annotation of methods and coroutines that has signature like func(**kwargs: Any) -> None.

  • Improve how RemoteGroupAsyncMock mocks a RemoteGroup.

    Instead of making each Remote a free form AsyncMock, create a spec based on the component interface. This means, trying to assess a member that is not part of the CSC interface raises an AttributeError exception, which is usefull to catch interface changes, like topics that are renamed and such.

    It also adds functionality to catch changes in topic payloads. For commands, create methods that check command call payloads and raise exception if a topic attribute is not part of the command definition. For events and telemetry, add a method to create SimpleNamespace instances from the topics structure.

  • Add new BaseCameraAsyncMock mock class, to facilitate mocking/testing classes derived from BaseCamera without the need to use the middleware. This considerably reduces the time needed to setup the classes for testing allowing us to expand the test coverage considerably without too much of a time penalty.

  • Refactor ATCS tests to use the new BaseCameraAsyncMock class.

  • Refactor ComCam tests to use the new BaseCameraAsyncMock class.

  • In MTCS, remove workaround for rotator trajectory issues that prevented us from doing more than one slew at a time.

  • Update .gitignore to ignore all .log files.

v0.21.0

  • In BaseTCS class:

    • Add new functionality to allow alternative rotator angles to be specified. This features consists of two methods, BaseTCS.set_rot_angle_alternatives and a generator BaseTCS.get_rot_angle_alternatives. By default the altenative angles are +/- 180 and +/- 90 degrees.

      BaseTCS.get_rot_angle_alternatives recieves a desired angle and will yield a sequence of numbers consisting of the original number first, then a the original number + the alternative. Therefore, by default, if one calls BaseTCS.get_rot_angle_alternatives, it will yield the sequence 0, 180, -180, 90, -90.

      It is possible to override the sequence of alternaive angles by calling BaseTCS.set_rot_angle_alternatives, passing a new sequence of numbers. It is not necessary to pass the 0 value and duplicated entries are removed.

    • In slew_icrs use new rotator angle alternatives to cycle throught different rotator angles when the value requested is outside the rotator limits.

v0.20.1

  • Fix issue with LATISS.setup_instrument which would fail if linear stage position was passed as None, which is a valid entry.

  • Add unit test for LATISS.setup_instrument.

v0.20.0

  • Update build configuration to use pyproject.toml.

  • Implement type-checking in the entire package.

v0.18.2

  • Add support for stuttered image keywords.

  • In BaseCamera:

    • Update _handle_take_stuttered method to call set and then start separately, so it can set the timeout parameter.

v0.18.1

  • MTCSMock: stop calling lsst.ts.salobj.topics.WriteTopic.write with arguments.

v0.18.0

  • In BaseCamera:

    • Add support for new images types: ACQ, CWFS, FOCUS.

    • Refactor BaseCamera.expose to use the new CameraExposure data class and break it down into smaller pieces.

    • Add support for stuttered image. This image type opens the camera shutter, start the exposure manually and then allow users to shift the readout manually. This allow us to produce “stuttered” images with starts shifting in the read direction at each iteration.

    • Add support for taking snaps in take_object.

  • Add unit tests for stuttered images for ComCam.

  • Add unit tests for stuttered images for LATISS.

  • Add support for stuttered images in ComCamMock.

  • Add support for stuttered image in LatissMock.

  • Add new dataclass CameraExposure to host parameters for exposures.

  • Add unit test for new image types for ComCam.

  • In BaseCamera, use numImages feature from Camera to take multiple images, instead of looping.

  • In ATCS.monitor_position, handle condition when dome following is disabled but dome checking is enabled.

  • In MTCS._slew_to, juggle rotator position by 0.1 degrees when working around trajectory problem. This will make sure the rotator moves a bit, thus resetting the trajectory.

  • In ATCS.slew_dome_to, fix handling of monitor_position by creating a background task.

  • In ATCS.slew_dome_to, improve handling dome positioning. The ATDome will overshoot if slew is large enough, the method will send a move command, use _handle_in_position to determine when the dome is in position and then check that the dome is still in position afterwards. If it is not, it will iterate up to _dome_slew_max_iter times. The method is also not using the internal dome in position flag, which only checks if the dome is obscuring the telescope or not. This algorithm is only suitable for on sky slewing operation and not for when we are positioning the dome.

  • In ATCS.slew_dome_to, use _handle_in_position to determine when dome is in position.

  • Update MTCS.wait_for_rotator_inposition to use _handle_in_position.

    • Implement handle_in_position_event for ATMCS.

    • Update unit tests for new default value of stop_before_slew.
