Files to edit when changing instrument filters:

Common to all instruments:

ORAC OT:

the [OT] instrument configuration file:

These are in the ORAC-OT tree

edit
/jac_sw/orac3/OT/cfg/ukirt
both in Hilo and at the summit (or preferably propagate by CVS).
then check into CVS.

Then build (see below). Propagate from one to the other site by cvs update.

for the various instruments, currently ufti, ircam3, cgs4. There's also the cgs4calunit.cfg.

After editing the files must be installed.

(this needs updating, MHP, 7/1/03):
cd /ukirt_sw/oracot/orac2/OT/ot/src
make setup-ukirt
make install-ukirt

CGS4:

• (see above)

VMS (on IRTCON):

• UKIRT_PREP_DIR:CGS4_MENUS_INC.SCT
• UKIRT_CONFIG:CGS4.DATA
• In order for UKIRT_PREP to work if CGS4 has a new filter installed, you also have to edit and recompile:
  UPS_DIR:UPS_DERIVE_FILTER.FOR
  UPS_DIR:UPS_DERIVE_ARC_FILTER.FOR
  (this is complicated by the fact that the latest - as of 1999 - attempts of relinking ukirt_prep have not produced working images ...)

IRCAM:

• (see above)

VMS (on IRTCON):

• UKIRT_PREP_DIR:IRCAM_PROCS.ICL (filter combinations into filters)
• UKIRT_PREP_DIR:IRCAM_MENUS_INC.SCT (menus - all of them, there's 4 and they are all the same)
• UKIRT_PREP_DIR:IRCAM_PREP.SCT (which should be the same as above)
• UKIRT_CONFIG:IRCAM3.DATA (if a new filter or combination is added)

UFTI:

ORAC (on kiki):

• (see above)
• /jac_sw/itsroot/src/oracda/ufti/filter.data (the UFTI DRAMA task's filter table - only needs to be edited if a new filter combination is added, i.e. a filter put into a different wheel or a filter put in that has never been used before, and for redefinitions of filter combinations)

EPICS (on kiki):

• /jac_sw/itsroot/install/configs/ufti.cfg (the UFTI EPICS filter definitions, i.e. which filter is in which position in which wheel. Needs to be edited on each filter change)

VMS (on IRTCON - we don't use those anymore)

• UKIRT_PREP_DIR:UFTI_PROCS.ICL (filter combinations into filters)
• UKIRT_PREP_DIR:UFTI_MENUS_INC.SCT (menus - all of them, there's 3 and they are all the same)
• UKIRT_CONFIG:UFTI.DATA

UIST:

Grisms:

• oracda/uist/uocs.cfg file, under "dispersers", new offsets TBD.

CCS:

• grism1.data file and grism2.data files in uistCCS/data, have to have the grism names at the correct step positions - which isn't very obvious which step position is which wheel position (in fact, it isn't obvious at all)
• grisCombo.data file, also in uistCCS/data. There are 6 combinations per existing grism:
  • grism
  • aq_grism
  • grism+ifu
  • aq_grism+ifu
  • grism+pol (if there is a Wollaston in the other wheel)
  • aq_grism+pol (again, if there is a Wollaston in the other wheel)
  • + theoretically 2 more for +ifu+pol
  It looks like there can be 16 combinations per menu but it makes sense to only have 2 grisms per menu (i.e. 12 combinations) because otherwise some grism combination listings would straddle menus.
• for long term changes it makes sense to add grisms and combinations to the capfast schematics because doing so saves having to restart the DM screens after CCS reboots.

Slits:

• need to update uocs.cfg file in oracda/uist
• need to update slits.data in uistCCS/data

WFCAM:

Filters:

• change filter name in /jac_sw/itsroot/src/wfcamCCS/data/interface.data - as well as, once they are known, deployment filter steps (which shouldn't really change), focus offsets and telescope focus offsets
• change filter name in the filterMbbo (it's sligthly above and slightly to the left of the middle of the schematic) in /jac_sw/itsroot/src/wfcamCCS/capfast/wfcamMechCtrl.sch
• change OT config file for the same filter name

Changing Michelle to use IRPOL:

• whatever needs to be changed for monitoring.
• No changes needed to OT or translator.
• michelle.dict: change polAngle to use the polDeg line from CGS4

  replace
  polAngle         1  -t Epics -cmd "action SetWPAngle"
  by
  polAngle         1  -t Irpol -cmd "irpol_ang" -arg irpolAng
  

• michelle.hdt: copy WPLANGLE from CGS4

  replace
  DES_Michelle  cAngle       start    WPLANGLE %10.4f [deg] Waveplate angle
  by
  TIDE          irpolAngle   start    WPLANGLE float [deg] IRPOL waveplate angle
  

• michelle.inst and michelle_simTel.inst: copy IRPOL line from CGS4

  replace
  Irpol  Drama  simulate     enable
  by
  Irpol  Drama  TIDE         enable
  

• mich_oper.dl: add irpol to 'related displays'

Updating Astro::WaveBand:
