AGW for Dummies

AGW's ecosystem is made of:

• OAC server talks to UMACs for motor control in Potsdam AGWs, but not for MODS.
• azcamserver.mountain.lbto.org for reading CCD images. azcamserver gets the images from the PCI fiber interface on agw#-cam.mountain.lbto.org (# is the agw number 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8) and mods#-cam.mountain.lbto.org (# is the MODS number 1, 2). (Beware: azcamserver software runs on the local machines for PEPSI AGWs, and not on azcamserver.mountain.lbto.org.)

How things mashup

• GCS (Guiding Control Subsystem) talks to oac (oacserver) and to azcamserver
• OAC server commands the UMACs -> probes (home, x/y position etc)
• azcamserver talks to the other agw#-cam & mods#-cam, which are connected to the WFS and Guider camera controllers via direct fiber link and get the actual data.
• [9] OAC azcamserver AGW#cam IP summary table
• [8] OAC azcamserver AGW#cam PDU table
• [4] AGWS MOXAs and UMACs IP addresses table

oac server (manages AGWs 1,2,5,6 for LUCI and MODS) [3]

• Linux machine access via ssh (no password needed from telescope@obs1)
• oac@oac.mountain.lbto.org (''sudo su -'' available)
• /lbt/log/oac/current-aoc.log
• /var/log/npreal2d.log

oac server Start/Stop/Status [5]

• sudo /etc/init.d/oac stop
• sudo /etc/init.d/oac start
• sudo /etc/init.d/oac status

AGW Start/Stop/Commands [5]

• stopAGW -u #
• startAGW -u # (after a start wait a few seconds to run below engineering commands)

Engineering commands [6]

• home -u # -m21 (or -m20 for AGW 7,8) [11]
• getxy -u #
• gedata -u #

azcamserver (azcamserver.mountain.lbto.org 192.168.2.199) [9]

• Windows machines. Access via VNC azcamserver (for password check in Anonymous Accounts for "vnc - agwx") [7]
• Controls agw#-cams [1] [2] [3](1,2,5,6) ([10] NOT 3,4,7,8)
• In the azcamserver azcam terminals should be displayed for agws (g (guider), w(wavefront sensor): 1g,1w, 2g, 2w, 5g,5w & 6g, 6w
• There is a Windows Desktop shortcut to start the terminals. The shortcut points to c:\AzCam\systems\lbtguiders\StartLBTGuiderAzCamServers.py

agw#-cam (1,2,3,4,7,8) [3]

• Windows machines. Access via VNC [7] to agw#-cam.mountain.lbto.org (for password check in Anonymous Accounts for "vnc - agwx")
• Each of 3,4,7,8 run its own azcamserver software. Same shortcut software as above
• agw#-cam.mountain.lbto.org Windows (for password check in Anonymous Accounts for user "azcam")
• In principle there is no reason to login to (1,2,5,6), these machines are controlled via azcamserver
