ABSTRACT:
Routine to plot telescope axis rates and tracks


  • stripeAxisRates

  • stripeAxisRates

    Calculate and plot the telescope axis rates required for a scan.
       TCL VERB: stripeAxisRates stripe utStart -mjd -startLambda -endLambda -file -polar
    
    
       Calculates and plots the telescope axis rates which will be encountered
          during the course of a scan, given a stripe number and a starting
          time.
    
       Required arguments:
          stripe  (integer 1 -- 45)
          utStart (string HH:MM)
    
       Optional arguments, switches:
          -mjd         (integer day, defaults to today)
          -startLambda (double, defaults to lambdaMin for the stripe)
          -endLambda   (double, defaults to lambdaMax for the stripe)
          -file        (string, the name of a Postscript file for the
                        plot. If not present, plots to XWIN)
          -polar       (No argument. If this switch is present, the plot will
                        be a polar plot of the telescope track, with the zenith
                        at the pole, otherwise the default plot is a Cartesian
                        plot of the three telescope axis rates versus lambda/ 
                        survey longitude)
