TeleType Communications
MM sets the Brewer program to its teletype (terminal) mode, whereby the operator may communicate directly with the Brewer via the computer keyboard and a set of low level commands.
Exit from teletype mode by typing EXIT.
See Appendix H for more explanation on the TeleType feature.
List of commands
| Command | Variables | Usage | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Repeats the command. Usually use in conjunction with another command move. (I.E. R,0,7,5:O:A) Press home to delete twice to go exit. | ||
| B,x | x refers to the following 0. Turns off all lamp 1. Turns on the mercury lamp 2. Turns on the standard lamp | B,2 | This command controls the lamps |
| M,m,s | m refers to a motor number 1. Zenith prism 2. Azimuth Tracker 3. Iris 4. Filterwheel 1 5. Filterwheel 2 6. Filterwheel 3 9. Micrometer 2 (Bottom) 10. Micrometer 1 (Top) 11. Slitmask 1 12. Slitmask 2 13. Zenith tracker s refer to the number of steps to move | M,10,500 | Moves motor m to step s. Note: when moving backwards (negative number) it will set that as the new reference point. Click here more motor information. |
| N,s | s refers to the number of steps | N,500 | (Used for MKIII only.) Moves both micrometer 1 and 2 to step s. Note: when moving backwards (negative number) it will set that as the new reference point. Click here more motor information. |
| O | O | ||
| R,p1,p2,t | p# refers to the slit positions t refers to number of times to repeat | R,0,5,7 | This command is used to measure the light intensity according to the variables setup. Often this command is combined with the O command to output the results. R,0,5,7:O |
| SL | SL | - Turn the SL bulb on - Points the zenith down - Open the iris - Set FW1 to position 1 - Set FW2 to position 0 |
|
| TStart Location2End Location | Start Location and End Location can be any of the following 1. MAX - Maximum micrometer position 2. OP - operating micrometer position 3. MIN - minimum micrometer position | TOP2MAX | This command will move the micrometer 1 to max/op/min position to max/op/min. It assumes the micrometer is already in the start location. This is use to help test the micrometer range. |
| BStart Location2End Location | Start Location and End Location can be any of the following 1. MAX - Maximum micrometer position 2. OP - operating micrometer position 3. MIN - minimum micrometer position | BOP2MAX | This command will move the micrometer 2 to max/op/min position to max/op/min. It assumes the micrometer is already in the start location. This is use to help test the micrometer range. |
| exit | exit | exit's mm and return to menu ('quit' will do the same thing) |
For new electronics only
| Command | Variables | Usage | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ?<command> OR !<command> | See Operation Information | A variety of operational commands/status output for the brewer. for more. | |
| I,m | m refers to a motor number 1. Zenith prism 2. Azimuth Tracker 3. Iris 4. Filterwheel 1 5. Filterwheel 2 6. Filterwheel 3 9. Micrometer 2 (Bottom) 10. Micrometer 1 (Top) 11. Slitmask 1 12. Slitmask 2 13. Zenith tracker | I,9 | This commands re-initializes the specified motor |
| SAVE | SAVE | Stores the current set of RAM configuration parameters | |
