Here are the instructions on how to use the app to show the actuator status from an offline observation:
 
Basic usage:
/home/groups/ptcs/bin/surfplot  -s 
 
For example, to show the surface for scan 10 of AGBT21B_024_26:
/home/groups/ptcs/bin/surfplot AGBT21B_024_26 -s 10
 
If you wanted to save it to a figure in your home area:
/home/groups/ptcs/bin/surfplot AGBT21B_024_26 -s 10 --save -o ~
The figure would be saved in ~/ AGBT21B_024_26.png
 
If you wanted to save with a different filename:
/home/groups/ptcs/bin/surfplot AGBT21B_024_26 -s 10 --save -o ~ -f AGBT21B_024_26_scan_10.png
The figure would be saved in ~/ AGBT21B_024_26_scan_10.png
