Constructor Detail

WifsipMaster

public WifsipMaster(Map<String,String> prop)
             throws RemoteException

Constructs a new CCD master. Default values for the times are set. If the KEY_CAMERA key is missing or the camera driver could not be contructed out of the given property, construction fails with an exception, see #initWifsipMaster. The keys GenericMaster.KEY_SET, KEY_FITSKEYS, #KEY_FITSPARAMETERS, and #KEY_FITSCOMMENTS are optional keys.
As common in final, rmi-enabled classes, the environment master calls exportObject on the UnicastRemoteObject server class.

Throws:: RemoteException
See Also:: PropertyResources.init()

Method Detail

initStep

public void initStep(int curstep)

Delay the init method of the receiver torso until we finished the initialization of the ccd master.

init2

Whenever the construction of the camera driver is successful, the fits tables are at least constructed, though maybe empty.

getAcknowledgeNumber

protected int getAcknowledgeNumber(CommandEvent cmd)

Returns the number of acknowledge events produced for each command. If the command is unknown an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

Overrides:: getAcknowledgeNumber in class GenericMaster

getCompletionTime

protected long getCompletionTime(CommandEvent cmd,
                                 int acknr)

Returns the individual completion times. For exposure commands, the first acknowledge time is the sum of the exposure time plus the read-out time from the controller to the local buffer. The second acknowledge time is the time it takes to write the fits file out of the local data buffer.
If the command is unknown an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

Process the command. The exposure commands are split into three processes, the first one consisting of taking the exposure, the second transfering the CCD-data to the local buffer. The third part is writing the locally buffered data to the fits file. This allows the sequencer to continue operation once the data has been transfered from the CCD to the local buffer. In principle, the next exposure can start as soon as the data transfer to the local buffer is completed.

Overrides:: processCommand in class GenericMaster

statusMaster

protected Object statusMaster()

Returns a status information of the camera as a string. Calls the MainCamera#toString method.

Specified by:: statusMaster in class GenericMaster

Aborts the CCD if possible. Currently only Interruptible drivers are supported.

Overrides:: abortMaster in class GenericMaster

parkMaster

protected boolean parkMaster()

Quits the master. Any ongiong exposure is aborted and the camera driver is closed.

Overrides:: quitMaster in class GenericMaster

filterWheelZero

private boolean filterWheelZero()

Does a zero-positioning on all filter wheels found. Returns true on success of all.

private boolean abortTake()

Aborts the exposure. Used in automatic and manual mode.

prepareAutoFocus

private long prepareAutoFocus(AutoFocusCcd afc)

Uses the information provided in the auto-focus command to calculate a correct exposure time and readout frame. If the focus star is expected to very close to the center, then we leave it to the focusser to find the most appropriate extension.

doAutoFocus

private ErrorEvent doAutoFocus(long expt,
                               boolean extsearch)

Tries to auto focus.

Parameters:: extsearch - If true, we use the extension with the biggest moment value.

takeBias

private boolean takeBias()

Takes a bias exposure. No exposure time needed. Directly calls the MainCamera#takeBiasExposure in the MainCamera object of the CameraDriver. For the moment, synchronization is done by checking the MainCamera#isBiasExposureDone on regular intervalls, using a wait on the main camera, but notification is not yet impelmented.

takeDark

private boolean takeDark(double time)

Takes a dark exposure. Directly calls the MainCamera#takeDarkExposure in the MainCamera object of the CameraDriver. For the moment, synchronization is done by checking the MainCamera#isDarkExposureDone on regular intervalls, using a wait on the main camera, but notification is not yet impelmented.

takeExposure

private boolean takeExposure(double time)

Takes a normal exposure. Directly calls the MainCamera#takeExposure in the MainCamera object of the CameraDriver. For the moment, synchronization is done by checking the MainCamera#isExposureDone on regular intervalls, using a wait on the main camera, but notification is not yet impelmented.

writeFits

private boolean writeFits(File fits,
                          boolean science,
                          boolean surestore)

Writes the data allocated in the CcdDriver object to a fits file provided as an argument. If the argument is null this method returns immediately without writing the file. This method opens the fits file the ccd has written to and adds header information to it. It is saved to a probably different path, where intermediate storage is possible (RAID). If the copying process is successful, we delete the old file.

addHeaderKeys

private static void addHeaderKeys(nom.tam.fits.Header head,
                                  Map<String,List<Object>> javakeys)
                           throws nom.tam.fits.FitsException

Adds fits keys before the #END header keyword. The map handed over is in a special format. The map's keys are the fits header keys, linked to a List. This list consists of a mximum of three entries, the first giving the value of the keyword, the second the comment and the third the class type of the value. Null is permitted for the comment and the class type, if the latter is null, we try to deduce the type of the fits value in the following, sequential, way:

If the value is parsable as a Long, insert it as a HeaderCard with a long.
If the value is parsable as a Double, insert it as a HeaderCard with a double.
Convert the value to s string and insert it as a string.

From the previous, it follows that Long, Double, and String are valid class types. Additionally, Integer, Short, Byte, and Float are allowed, but inserted like a Long, respectively Double. Boolean is supported. If the class type is Date, the value is converted into a string using the special DateFormatter FITSDATE. Any other type is ignored, i.e. the value is inserted as a string.

Throws:: nom.tam.fits.FitsException

probeForType

private static Class<?> probeForType(Object val)

If no type argument is given, we try to deduce it from the value type, using the following, sequential, rules:

If the value is parsable as a Long, its type is long
If the value is parsable as a Double, its type is double
It type is String.

addCCDHeaderInfo

public static void addCCDHeaderInfo(nom.tam.fits.Header head,
                                    Map<String,String> keep,
                                    Map<String,?> ccd)
                             throws nom.tam.fits.FitsException

Adds information received from the ccd driver.

Throws:: nom.tam.fits.FitsException

                               throws nom.tam.fits.FitsException

Adds data from a fixed key/value/remark mapping. The map is parsed in a way that its keys are used as the fits header keys, the string it points to is interpreted as value;remark;class-of-value

Throws:: nom.tam.fits.FitsException

addFitsHeaderInfo

public static void addFitsHeaderInfo(nom.tam.fits.Header head,
                                     Map<String,String> give,
                                     ParameterClustering set)
                              throws nom.tam.fits.FitsException

Writes fits header information. All of the datas found in the map is transfered to the fits header information in the following way: The key is the key to the fits heder entry. The value is interpreted as the name of the parameter to enter, followed by a remark. If the parameter is of Time type, we actually enter a Date formatted with FITSDATE.

Throws:: nom.tam.fits.FitsException

geometry

private boolean geometry(int xoff,
                         int yoff,

private boolean doMode(String mode)

If the camera supports mode switching, we try to switch the camera to the stated mode.

doAutoClear

private boolean doAutoClear(boolean mode)

If the camera supports auto clearing enabling and disabling, we try to switch it on or off.

                        String parameter,
                        String comment)

Adds/removes a fits header key from the customizable table. If the first argument is null, all mappings are ereased, i.e. all except the default header settings are deleted. If the second argument is null, only the mapping with the key given in the first argument is ereased. If the first to arguments are valid, a new mapping is added.

public static void main(String[] arg)
                 throws RemoteException
