Wfsstatus

GUI Description

Left Section
  • Read only, values in BOLD
  • ao.AOOPSMOD readback: 0=NGS, 1=NGS-ST, 2=LGS
  • Field Steering Mirror Status: INPOS, SLEW, FAULT
  • R-magnitude estimate of source brightness on WFS
  • Median subaperture intensity per frame on WFS
  • X-centroid error in arcseconds
  • Y-centroid error in arcseconds
  • 30-sec stripchart of WFS average intensity
Right Section
  • Reconstructed pupil image based upon subaperature intensities
  • Opens loops
  • Offsets telescope 30" East
  • Records and loads WFS background
  • Returns telescope to original position
  • Closes loops
  • Records and loads WFS background
  • If ao.DTSENSOR is STRAP, will ask if you need a background for STRAP
  • Used for manual background recording
  • Toggle to show image without/with reconstructor map
