Archive Pointing Models procedure
This procedure explains how to archive a new Pointing Model for the "short term" to avoid loosing configuration control. In production, TMCDB will take care of this,
Work Flow
- Operators and Astronomers produce a new Pointing Model
- A jira ticket with these files attached should be created and assigned to AIV-COMP
- AIV-COMP will archived these data and installed the module at $ACSROOT/config/pointing
- Operators should load the Pointing Models from the $ACSROOT/config/pointing diretory
Module and file name convention
The Pointing Models files are archived at http://svn.aiv.alma.cl/svnaiv/COMP/config/trunk/PointingModels module.
We have to archive Pointing Models files and data to produce this model. The data file is the LastObservation<date>.dat generated by the Scheduling Block at almaproc account.
./PoitingModels/config/<PM files> ./PoitingModels/config/<PM data files>
PT files shoud have the following format:
<antenna name>-<date>-<D/N>-<PAD><X>.mod
<antenna name>: use the current ALMA definition for antenna name, ie: DV01, DA41, ACA01 etc <date>: YYYYMMDD in UTC <D/N>: D: daytime, N: night time <PAD>: PAD name <X>: a incremental number starting from 1
PT data files should have the same name format but with extension .dat
For example for "Night Pointing model for Vertex #1 located at Vertex's Pad #1 for 2008-04-16 " the files name will be:
DV01-20080416-D-PV1-1.mod DV01-20080416-D-PV1-1.dat
Installation
To install this module
- Login as almamgr
- download the module
gns almamgr>svn co http://svn.aiv.alma.cl/svnaiv/COMP/config/trunk/PointingModels
- Set the INTROOT
gns almamgr>export INTROOT=$ACSROOT
- install the module
gns almamgr>cd PontingModels/src gns almamgr>make clean all install
- verify that the files are installed at $ACSROOT/config/pointing diretory
