CHANGE_NACENTRE

Shift the Nasmyth centre of the array

Description:

This routine shifts the position of the Nasmyth centre of a SCUBA array. It can be used to take out the small difference between the centres of the LONG and SHORT wave arrays. Should be run after extinction.

Usage:

change_nacentre [-h | -v] infile dx dy

Parameters:

h
Return a help message only.
v
Return the version number of scunoise
infile
Input file name. The file is modified in place.
dx
Shift in Nasmyth X (du3) direction
dy
Shift in Nasmyth Y (du4) direction

Examples:

change_nacentre
Will prompt for input file name and shift
change_nacentre file 5 3
Will move the array centre of file.sdf by (5,3) arcsec.

Notes:

This command can only be reversed by running change_nacentre with minus the previous X,Y shift. extinction must have been run on the input file (otherwise the file will contain more than 1 array) – this is not checked for explicitly.
