public class AltTelescope
extends AbstractStatusRequestor
implements Value, Reloadable

The current position of the telescope, altitude in degrees. It uses a TelescopeStatus error event to retrieve a most accurate position of the telescope. Note that there will still be some deviation from the true position due to the following reasons:

• The position reflected is always the last position sent. On a moving telescope (tracking) this will always result in a sometimes even big deviation.
• Even if the telescope is urged to send a status event just prior to querying this parameter, the latency time (a few 100ms) will prevent exact values on a moving telescope.
• Even if the telescope is at rest, a few arcsec. inaccuracy remains due to the inversion of the pointing model.

Constructor Detail

AltTelescope

public AltTelescope(Map prop)

Constructs a new alt telescope parameter. Until the first TelescopeStatus event is registered, this parameter points to the home position of the telescope KEY_ALTHOME.

Method Detail

rescanned

public double rescanned(String key,
                        String old,
                        String newval)

Makes this method public, no further changes.

Specified by:

rescanned in interface Reloadable

Overrides:

rescanned in class AbstractStatusRequestor

setValue

public Number setValue(Number newalt)

Sets the azimuth of the telescope.

Specified by:

setValue in interface Value

getValue

public Number getValue()

Returns the azimuth of the telescope. Deduced from the last TelescopeStatus event registered to this parameter.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Value

getFormatted

public String getFormatted()

Returns the azimuth of the telescope in a properly formatted way.

Specified by:

getFormatted in interface Parameter

Overrides:

getFormatted in class AbstractParameter

getForError

public Object getForError(ErrorEvent ee)

Returns the azimuth of the telescope deduced from a freshly received TelescopeStatus. This method is probably not extremly useful, normally a TelescopeStatus error will be registered to this parameter and its value queried later.

Specified by:

getForError in interface ErrorDependingParameter

isStatusRequested

protected boolean isStatusRequested(ErrorEvent ee)

Returns true if the error event received is of TelescopeStatus

Specified by:

isStatusRequested in class AbstractStatusRequestor
