I have created a couple of useful scripts for taking multiple images.
1. tcs/tcsmulti2.py goes to each target on a list and takes exposures
needs a textfile tcslist.txt with rows: ra (HH:mm:ss), dec(DD:mm:ss), epoch, filter, exposure time, number of exposures
2. tcs/bias_frames.py takes bias, darks, and dome flats
needs a textfile bias_frames.txt with rows: dark/open (lower case), exposure time, number of exposures
3. tcs/focus_sweep.py takes a series of images at different focus
needs a textfile focus_sweep.txt with rows: filter ,exposure time, number of exposures, focus (0-10,000)
4. tcs/gridscan.py takes exposures of a rectangular region along a grid.
enter input to the terminal directly (number and size of rows and columns, etc)
IMPORTANT: to start any script you have to source tcsprep_dr in the ~ directory after starting SISPI.
If you cannot connect, make sure that the instance in the tcsprep_dr file matches the one in the setup_sispi that you used. The scripts do NOT work with the cs versions of SISPI setup. Make sure you enter the pan set commands in the OCS console first.
