GO Events

GO will send a single glish event to IARDS. The command to issue the glish event in GO will have the form

GOproc(project_id, scan, type)

where project_id provides the information on where to find the data (i.e. /home/gbtdata/project_id), scan is the first scan number of the observation for IARDS to display and type is either ``point'', ``focus'' or``other''.

For types ``point'' and ``focus'' GO will expect data to be returned by IARDS for updating the local pointing coefficients or the subreflector Y axis focus position.

The name of the glish event which will allow communication between IARDS and GO will be go_aips2. The actual glish event passed from GO to IARDS will be called GOproc and will contain a record of the parameters passed along to the GOproc function in GO. An example of the issue of this glish event is as follows:

go_aips2-$>$GOproc([project_id='/home/gbtdata/test',scan=1,type='other'])
