== available tasks * '''RATESCAN''': ratescan from threshold 50 to 1000 in dynamic steps: 'RATE_SCAN/START_THRESHOLD_SCAN 50 1000 -10' * '''RATESCAN2''': two ratescans with fixed steps: 'RATE_SCAN/START_THRESHOLD_SCAN 50 300 20' and 'RATE_SCAN/START_THRESHOLD_SCAN 300 1000 100' remark: the command RATE_SCAN/START_THRESHOLD_SCAN has now 4 options: start-threshold, stop-thresold, stepsize, ratescan-type an overview of all available tasks can be found here: https://www.fact-project.org/run_db/db/printtable.php?fTable=MeasurementType be aware that Main.js has a '''timeout''' after 45 minutes for a ratescan == available options * source: ratescan on a source * ra, dec: ratescan for a position given in ra/dec * rstype: ratescan type, valid values: default, dark-bias-on, dark-bias-off - in case an invalid value is given, default is used; for the configuration (max-wait, resolution) of the three types, please check here: https://www.fact-project.org/db_po/ * lidclosed: false, true; lidclosed=true requires zd/as as position information * zd, az: ratescan for a give position in local coordinates (no tracking); only available for lidclosed==true the options rstype, lidclosed and zd/az are only available for RATESCAN2 == short summary: ratescans and their options ||= task =||= options =||= lid =||= bias =||= max-wait, resolution =|| || RATESCAN || source || open || on || default || || RATESCAN || ra,dec || open || on || default || || RATESCAN2 || source || open || on || default || || RATESCAN2 || ra,dec || open || on || default || || RATESCAN2 || lidclosed=true, zd, az || closed || on || default || || RATESCAN2 || lidclosed=true, zd, az, rstype=default || closed || on || default || || RATESCAN2 || lidclosed=true, zd, az, rstype=dark-bias-on || closed || on || special values || || RATESCAN2 || lidclosed=true, zd, az, rstype=dark-bias-off || closed || off || special values || be aware that the scheduling website so far doesn't check the options updateSchedule.js and Observation_class.js have been adapted to check for consistency == stop to stop such a measurement * update schedule with new measurement you want to do * send ''RATE_SCAN/STOP''
