SHOC
,[http://marissa.saao.ac.za Dr. Marissa Kotze] has written some [http://marissa.saao.ac.za/SHOCpipeline/ pipeline] software which may help with reduction of SHOC data.
=== Quick Start ===
* Point your browser at http://<name>:5000 (<name> is either shocnawe, or shocndisbelief).
* Select the filterwheel tab.
* Initialize the filterwheel(s), then select the filter required, click "Move". The "Centered" indicator should be green when the wheel is finished moving.
* If using external triggering, select the GPS tab
* Ensure timing is valid.
* Set the Programmed Output Pulse (POP) parameters, and click apply. The status should change to pending.
* Select the camera tab.
* Set the desired Readout Rate, Preamp and Electron Multiplying parameters (NB: EM MODE MAY ONLY BE SET IF YOU HAVE WRITTEN PERMISSION TO DO SO_.
* Set the sub image and binning parameters.
* Set the trigger type, exposure and kinetic series parameters.
* Start the acquisition.
* Stop to abort, or wait until completion. The image display area shows snapshots of the images throughout the acquisition.
* When the series is complete, the FITS data cube is copied to /data/<telescope>/<YYMM>/<filename>.fits, where <telescope> is 40in or 74in, YYMM is the year and month, and filename is the instrument abbreviation (SHA or SHD) followed by the date in YYYYMMDD format.
==== Web interface====
* The primary means of controlling SHOC is via a web interface. The Firefox or Chrome browsers are preferred.
