Action : Please provide software alarm when the rotators get close to a limit. Action Log : 4/19/2005 2:56:42 PM gandreon There is a panel prepared by Olivier taht includes an alarm. Can it be used? Also, please specify the limits value. 4/21/2005 12:13:05 PM ebarrios No please that's not the idea. We want the alarm in the VLTSW modules. So take your time. For the moment I'll modify the current no standard Oli script. 4/21/2005 12:23:37 PM ebarrios The limit angle value is ±220 degres, but, warning should be given at last one minute before reaching the limit. This will allow TIOS to pause the observation and apply the rotator offset. 4/25/2005 9:08:30 AM ebarrios nttexecRotAlarm panel ported to a VLT std as nttexecNewRotAlarm with an audible warning and alarms. Once this action point be completed, I'll remove them from the panel. Rgarding the previous limit value is the nttexecRotAlarm limit for warning, but, software limits are ± 230 degres. 4/26/2005 9:39:37 AM jreveco The alarm will be included in the TCS panel. It's almost finished, but we require a new deadline for test.
