Pointing

Most of these commands are used to initialize the ZY. They alter system parameters that allow a ZY to point it's laser to a 3 dimensional coordinate, instead of using raw encoder coordinates. The actual encoder coordinates are calculated as explained in document R051894[8].

Command Description
   
ALPHA Sets/returns ranger hardware Alpha angles into ZY
BETA Sets/returns ranger hardware Euler angles
EZ Sets/returns azimuth and elevation offsets
BP Sets/returns base point coordinates of ZY monument
MO Sets/returns $\Delta X \Delta Y \Delta Z$ monument to laser mirror offset
