Script Generator Program Description

genscript program description

1. General description

This is program for generating night script controlling pi system in LCO, configuration. Currently the main idea is to
follow field of view of HETE, INTEGRAL or SWIFT. In the evening and morning scan on whole celestial sphere is
performed. It is possible to requiere observation of specified field at specified time.
Program has many specific options, the main algortihtm is shown on this diagram ( dia soffice file ). Details on
choosing best object to follown is shown on another diagram.

Night script is generated according to constant list of fields, obervations are performed according to this list :

list of fields for 50mm camera
TODO : list of fields for 85mm camera

fields are flaged as odd and even, every day another set of fieds is used ( odd or even ). Link to Bogumil's sources : /home/8/bfpil/fields

2. Satellites information

Satellites poiting information is retrived from WWW sites of satellites, this table sumerizes currently used locations :

SATELLITE	URL	DESCRIPTION
HETE	http://space.mit.edu/HETE/Latest_RADec.txt
INTEGRAL	/opt/pi/dev/pisys/log/integral_pointdir.log but also is available here : http://wydra.ncac.torun.pl/~jubork/ibas/ibas?slcn=pointdir&onlyyear=2006&onlymonth=all currently gcn log file is used	this file produced by gcn server
SWIFT	NEW : http://www.swift.psu.edu/operations/obsSchedule.php OBSOLATE : http://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/gcn/swift_pointing_tbl.txt	New location of position information is being implemented
