Commands

closeShutter

Description: Close both shutter doors. This is the preferred way to close the shutter, because it automatically sequences the doors to prevent the main door from interfering with the dropout door.

EFDB_Topic

ATDome_command_closeShutter

homeAzimuth

Description: Home the azimuth axis.

moveAzimuth

Description: Rotate the dome to the specified azimuth.

Description: Desired azimuth. The dome will take the shortest route to the specified position (it has no azimuth rotation limits).

moveShutterDropoutDoor

Description: Open or close the shutter dropout door. Intended for engineering; use the openShutter and closeShutter commands for normal operation since they automatically sequence the doors to prevent the main door from interfering with the dropout door.

  • “foo.yaml” specifies just a file. Two or three config files are loaded: “_init.yaml”, “_{site}.yaml” (if present), and “foo.yaml”.

  • “:37bf936” specifies just a git hash. One or two config files are loaded from the specified git commit: “_init.yaml” and “_{site}.yaml” (if present.

  • “bar.yaml:HEAD~2” specifies both a file and a git hash. Two or three config files are read from the specified git commit: “_init.yaml”, “_{site}.yaml” (if present), and “bar.yaml”.
