The MAT gets used if there are horrible problems with the telescope pointing, or as an alternative way to monitor clouds crossing the target field.
#example file for command specification batch file # this file should have the extension .cbf for the GUI to find it # #Format: one command is a tab-separated sequence of # - telescope id (0 = wide-field or 1 = narrow-field) # - shutter position (0 = CLOSED, 1 = OPEN) # - exposure time (in msecs, min = 0, max = 86400000 = 24 hours) # - focuser position (0 ... 2000) # - magnitude (<= +40) # - target's filter (one of the following strings: pass_all, UV_block, Red_pass, Green_pass, Blue_pass, empty5, empty6, empty7) # - color (300 ... 20000) # - preset (0 = DISABLED, 1 = ENABLED) # - target's RA as a double (radians: b/w 0 and 2*pi), or string hh:mm:ss.sss (sexagesimal: b/w 00:00:00.000 and 23:59:59.999) # - target's DEC as a double (radians: b/w -pi/2 and pi/2), or string dd:mm:ss.sss (sexagesimal: b/w -90:00:00.000 and 90:00:00.000) # - target's equinox as year in FK4 mean, FK5 mean, or APPARENT place (e.g., B1950.00, J2004, APP) #TEL SHUT EXP FOC MAG FIL CLR PRESET RA DEC EQX 1 0 0 0 13 pass_all 1234 0 0 +1.2345 B2000 1 0 300 0 13 Green_pass 1234 0 3.14 -90:00:00.000 B2000 1 1 300 0 13 Red_pass 1234 0 23:59:59.999 90:00:00.000 B2000
