+ | === Working with TOPO modes === | ||
+ | It is possible to change the TOPO modes via scripts. There are two different ways: | ||
+ | - Use the scripts ''@tauto'', ''@tnorth'', or ''@tsouth'' to load a TOPO item into the observing queue. When ''control'' encounters one of these items, it will simply change the TOPO mode. | ||
+ | - In any other script, one can use the Key ''TopoMode <TOPO>'' (with one of AUTO, NORTH, SOUTH) to have ''control'' change the TOPO. Note, that subsequent measurements won't switch back to the previous TOPO. | ||

''QPosition 1'' means, the focus offset will be put at the top of the queue, while ''QPosition 0'' puts it to the current position (the latter being more useful in a script). Note, that one has to use a (dummy) source and catalog in the script. | ''QPosition 1'' means, the focus offset will be put at the top of the queue, while ''QPosition 0'' puts it to the current position (the latter being more useful in a script).

+ | === Configuring devices === | ||
+ | Some devices can be configured via scripts, e.g., the current receiver (and version) can be changed, MultiFiBa and Filterbox can be configured: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | # Receiver commands | ||
+ | FE: P50mm; VERn 2; Frequency 6.0 | ||
+ | FE: S110mm; VERn 1; Frequency 2.6 | ||
+ | |||
+ | # MultiFiBa | ||
+ | MF:S99128 | ||
+ | MF:A03@100 | ||
+ | |||
+ | # Filterbox | ||
+ | FB:spare1 | ||
+ | FB:spare2 | ||
+ | # note: currently, only spare1/spare2 setups are possible, these also set certain bandwidths at the XFFTS, | ||
+ | # so only use this if you know what you're doing! | ||
