Purpose
With no arguments, show the current rotator position angle as
it would appear on FACSUM. With one numeric argument, set the
rotator to the specified sky position angle.
Usage
skypa [-relative] [angle]
Arguments
angle = rotator position angle [degrees]
Options
-relative = apply a delta move; default is absolute move
Output
Current or new position angle [degrees]
Restrictions
- LRIS must be the selected instrument
Exit values
0 = normal completion
1 = wrong number of arguments
Example
1) Show current LRIS slit angle w.r.t. north
skypa
2) Set LRIS slit angle to 90 deg (running east/west)
skypa 90.
3) Increase current LRIS slit angle by 10 deg
skypa -rel -10
