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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 if the instrument is setup correctly. 0 - Disable 1 - Enable
New Electronics	Enable if the Brewer is using the new Single Board Electronics. 0 - Disable 1 - Enable
Moisture Sensor	Enable if the Brewer is humidity sensor (IOS). 0 - Disable 1 - Enable
