Package org.lsst.ccs.subsystems.fcs.singlefiltertest Description
This package is for the Single Filter Test control software.
The Single Filter Test is a test bench to test mainly the clamps which hold a filter on
the carousel and the latches which hold a filter in the autochanger truck.
This test bench is going to be assembly in Marseille in the CCPM laboratory, a IN2P3 lab.
It contains a fake carousel which cannot rotate with two clamps, a very simple autochanger truck
with two latches a dummy filter.
This is a hardware and software test, as we are going to test both.
The mechanical team want to test a sequence of operation which consists in moving a filter
from standby position on the carousel to an higher position (online position) and test the
transition of the filter from the carousel to the autochanger and vice-versa.
This sequence of operation can be done many times. The number of times can be given by the operator
at the console.
The devices to control are :
- a motor to move the autochanger trucks
- a filter presence sensorfor each clamp
- an actuator for each clamp to unlock or release the clamp
- sensors to know if the clamp is locked or unlocked : one for one side and two for the other side.
After the construction of the camera, this package will not be used anymore.
