====== OP_ST ======
There is two types of OP_ST or Operation State files.
  - OP_ST.###
  - OPAVG


===== OP_ST.### =====
The OP_ST.### is the operation state and that includes what motors are enable/disable, how the instrument is setup hardware wise, sightings and etc. Some of these items are controlled via [[ic|Instrument Control]] routine.

OP_ST.### labels.
^Name^Description^
|Instrument Number|Instrument Serial Number|
|Data folder location|Show where the data folder is located. Note: If dosbox or similar dos emulator is used, this may not be exactly where actual data resides on the computer. The root directory maybe setup differently depending on the config file for the emulator.|
|ICF in use|Points to the [[icf|Instrument Configuration File]](ICF) in use. this should be inside the instrument constant folder found inside the Data director and with the instrument serial number. \\ IE: C:\Br#026\Data\026\icf12312.026. \\ Note: file extension is not required in here, however the extension for the actual file should be the serial number.|
|ZSF in use|Points to the [[zsf|Zenith Sky File]](ZSF) in use. this should be inside the instrument constant folder found inside the Data director and with the instrument serial number. \\ IE: C:\Br#026\Data\026\zsf12312.026. \\ Note: file extension is not required in here, however the extension for the actual file should be the serial number.|
|DCF in use|Points to the [[dcf|Dispersion Constant Sky File(s)]](dcf) in use. this should be inside the instrument constant folder found inside the Data director and with the instrument serial number. Files required are dcfjjjyy.###, dcfjjjyy.###.dwl and optional if cubic is used, ccfjjjyy.### \\ IE: C:\Br#026\Data\026\dcf12312.026. \\ Note: file extension is not required in here, however the extension for the actual file should be the serial number. \\ Note2: ccfjjjyy.### is renamed from dcfjjjyy.###.cubic|
|UVR in use|Points to the [[uvr|UV Response]](UVR) in use. this should be inside the instrument constant folder found inside the Data director and with the instrument serial number. \\ IE: C:\Br#026\Data\026\uvr12312.026. \\ Note: file extension is not required in here, however the extension for the actual file should be the serial number.|
|Hour|The current time (Hours). This does not need to be modified as the software will update this automatically|
|Minutes|The current time (Minutes). This does not need to be modified as the software will update this automatically|
|Location Name|The name of the location the brewer is operating at. \\IE: Toronto|
|Latitude|The latitude the Brewer is currently operating at.|
|Longitude|The longitude the Brewer is currently operating at.\\ NOTE: This number is inverted so the longitude you should use is actually Longitude * -1. \\ IE: Toronto longitude is -43.781, the value you enter here should be 43.781.|
|Attitude in pressure|This needs to be converted via....|
|MU|The current MU the brewer is measuring at. This does not need to be modified as the software will update this automatically|
|North Correction|This is the north correction used during a sighting.|
|Horizontal Correction| This is the horizontal correction used during a sighting.|
|Steps per Revolution| This is the number of steps it takes for the tracker to complete one full revolution. This is updated via the software using [[sr|SR]] routine|
|Zenith Drive|Enable/disable the zenith motor. \\ 0 - Disable \\ 1 - Enable|
|Azimuth Drive|Enable/disable the azimuth motor. \\ 0 - Disable \\ 1 - Enable|
|Iris Drive|Enable/disable the iris motor. \\ 0 - Disable \\ 1 - Enable|
|Filter wheel 1|Enable/disable the filter wheel 1 motor. \\ 0 - Disable \\ 1 - Enable|
|Filter wheel 2|Enable/disable the filter wheel 2 motor. \\ 0 - Disable \\ 1 - Enable|
|Clock Board|Enable or disable the use of the clockboard. Most modern brewers are not actually using the function of the clock board to set the time. Normally the software will do that via [[td|TD]]. \\ 0 - Disable \\ 1 - Enable|
|UVB Port|Enable if the instrument has an UVB Port. \\ 0 - Disable \\ 1 - Enable|
|A/D Board|Enable or disable the use of the a/d board. \\ 0 - Disable \\ 1 - Enable|
|Filter wheel 3|Enable/disable the filter wheel 3 motor. \\ 0 - Disable \\ 1 - Enable|
|New Temp circuit|Enable if the Multiboard electronics is using a new temperature circuit. \\ 0 - Disable \\ 1 - Enable|
|4 bit option|In this line, the number can be from 0 to 15. Convert that into binary and each bit is used for the following items. \\ Bit 1: If second polarize is used. \\ Bit 2: IOS UART Board -  Enable if the Brewer is using IOS UART board. \\ Bit 3: PCB Board is in use \\ Bit 4: Thin ground quartz in filterwheel 1, position 5. When enabled, this will use this position to run RS/DT instead of filterwheel 1, position 1. \\ 0 - Disable \\ 1 - Enable|
|O3 xsec B&P=n SER=y|This picks which ozone cross section is used. \\ 0 - Bass & Paur \\ 1 - Serdyuchenk|
|Wide HG Slit|Enable if the HG slit in the slitmask is wide. Most newer brewer has a wide HG slit mask. This can be easily seen via [[rs|RS]] if the instrument is setup correctly. \\ 0 - Disable \\ 1 - Enable|
|New Electronics|Enable if the Brewer is using the new [[singleboard|Single Board Electronics]]. \\ 0 - Disable \\ 1 - Enable|
|Moisture Sensor|Enable if the Brewer is humidity sensor (IOS). \\ 0 - Disable \\ 1 - Enable|
