Member Function Documentation

void carma::antenna::bima::control::DriveControl::setPointingModelCoefs	(	in sequence_double	dazCoefSeq,
		in sequence_double	delCoefSeq
	)
raises	(	carma::util::UserException
	)

Sets pointing model coefficients.

A pointing model consists of two equations: one for an azimuth offeset and one for an elevation offset. Each equation can has a set of coefficients that are derived by fitting observed data to the equations.

Parameters

dazCoefs	A sequence of coefficients for use with the pointing model's azimuth offset equation.
delCoefs	A sequence of coefficients for use with the pointing model's elevation offset equation.
