void carma::antenna::ovro::DriveControl::freezeTilt	(		)
raises	(	carma::util::UserException
	)

Freeze tilt correction.

This routine causes the current tilt value to be used until a call to thawTilt is made. For debug only.

void carma::antenna::ovro::DriveControl::setEngineeringMode	(	in boolean	enable	)
raises	(	carma::util::UserException
	)

Set engineering mode.

In engineering mode high level control commands are not sent.

void carma::antenna::ovro::DriveControl::setMountPointingConstants	(	in double	m1,
		in double	m2,
		in double	m3,
		in double	m4,
		in double	m5
	)
raises	(	carma::util::UserException
	)

Sets mount pointing constants.

The effect of the mount pointing constants have the same sign as the offset command (

See Also: setOffset)

Parameters

m1	azimuth encoder offset, arcmin
m2	elevation encoder offset, arcmin
m3	non-orthogonality of axes, arcmin
m4	azimuth axis verticality, North/South, arcmin
m5	azimuth axis verticality, East/West, arcmin

void carma::antenna::ovro::DriveControl::setRawDriveRates	(	in float	azRateInDegPerMin,
		in float	elRateInDegPerMin
	)
raises	(	carma::util::UserException
	)

Set raw drive rates independent of servo loop (i.e.

open loop). Engineering command - use with extreme caution.

Parameters

azRate	Raw azimuth rate in degrees/minute.
elRate	Raw azimuth rate in degrees/minute.

void carma::antenna::ovro::DriveControl::setRawDriveVoltages	(	in float	azVoltage,
		in float	elVoltage
	)
raises	(	carma::util::UserException
	)

Set raw drive voltages independent of servo loop (i.e.

open loop). Engineering command - use with extreme caution.

Parameters

azVoltage	Raw azimuth voltage in Volts.
elVoltage	Raw elevation voltage in Volts.

void carma::antenna::ovro::DriveControl::thawTilt	(		)
raises	(	carma::util::UserException
	)

Thaw tilt - update and apply tilts regularly.

See Also: freezeTilt

void carma::antenna::ovro::DriveControl::toggleBacklashCorrection	(	in boolean	enable	)
raises	(	carma::util::UserException
	)

Disable backlash correction on the fly.

void carma::antenna::ovro::DriveControl::updateConfigurationData	(		)
raises	(	carma::util::UserException
	)

Read configuration file and update any parameters which may have changed.
