| + | === 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! | ||

| - | Now one can call ''@masterscript:W3MAIN'' from any form, and it will correctly replace the sources. If it is called without source name, ObsInp will use the sources it finds in the root scripts (it doesn't work, if the masterscript still contains source names). | + | Now one can call ''@masterscript:W3MAIN'' from any form, and it will correctly replace the sources. If it is called without source name, ObsInp will use the sources it finds in the root scripts (it doesn't work, if the masterscript still contains source names). **Warning: at the moment, recursive scripting is buggy (or rather has unintended behavior).** |
