- this parameters decides if daq simulator uses images from fits files specially prepared for this purpose and stored also in svn, or in case =0 images are generated according to star catalog used in astrometry. CCD_SIMUL_BACKGR_MEAN - mean value ( in ADU ) of background in generated images ( default = 2248 ) CCD_SIMUL_BACKGR_SIGMA - sigma value ( in ADU ) of background in generated images ( default = 82 ) CCD_SIMUL_COOL_SPEED - cooling speed ( default 50 , values in range : 0-100 ) CCD_SIMUL_FRAME_ERROR - simulate error in DoCleanMeasure, in case <1 means probability that this error will occure in case <0 no error simulation is done, in case >=1 - always error occures !! |
