v1.36.1 (2024-07-15)

Documentation

  • Update version history notes and towncrier ticket links to use cloud jira project. (DM-44192)

(DM-44821)

  • In maintel/take_image_comcam, remove setting instrument_setup_time.

    This will fallback to the default value of 0. (DM-44824)

  • In maintel/offset_camera_hexapod, fix units for xyz offsets in the script configuration. (DM-44824)

  • Update maintel/m1m3/enable_m1m3_slew_controller_flags.py to simplify how it sets the slew flags.

    Set one at a time in a loop instead of trying to set them all at once. (DM-44824)

    This operations takes at least 15 minutes on the CSC side, so having the script timeout also be 15 minutes causes frequent issues running the script. (DM-45154)

  • In auxtel/calibrations/power_off_atcalsys, increase timeout waiting for the lamp to be ready to 20 minutes.

    This operations takes at least 15 minutes on the CSC side. This script had it as 16 minutes but increasing it further helps reduce false timeout issues. (DM-45154)

    Update unit tests for m1m3 scripts. This basically removes the add_remotes parameter when instantiating the Scripts class and creates an instance of MTCS configured with DryRun for testing.

    Update all m1m3 scripts to only setup their instance of the MTCS class during the configuration stage. This also removes the add_remotes parameter from their initialization. Instantiation of the class is now done in the configure method. (DM-42517)

  • Add new maintel/stop_rotator.py script, executable, and unit test. (DM-41083)

Other Changes and Additions

  • Update several unit tests to be compatible with the kafka version of salobj. This should be a backward compatible change and should work with both DDS and kafka versions of salobj.

    In base_script_test_case.py, add compatibility with the kafka version of salobj.

    In auxtel/prepare_for/onsky.py, postpone creating ATMCS and LATISS classes to the configure method. This is more inline with the most recent guidelines for script development and improve reliability for the kafka version of salobj.

  • Add new system_wide_shutdown script to help shutdown the entire system.

  • In auxtel/daytime_checkout/ update script metadata.duration values.

v1.17.0

  • In maintel/track_target_and_take_image_gencam.py:

    • Update get_schema method to stop deleting band_filter from the required configuration attributes.

      Previously we thought it would be ok to remove this attribute from the configuration since the generic cameras, which this script is designed to work with, don’t necessarily have a filter wheel or instrument configuration. But this oversight doesn’t take into account the fact that this Script is designed to work with the Scheduler and, for this type of Script, we can not remove any of the basic set of required parameters. Adding new parameters is ok though.

      If calling this script from the script queue one can simply pass in an empty string for band_filter. But, keep in mind this one in particular is designed to work with the Scheduler.

    • Update track_target_and_setup_instrument to pass in az_wrap_strategy to slew_icrs.

    • Implement new tcs abstract property introduced in BaseTrackTargetAndTakeImage.

  • In maintel/track_target_and_take_image_comcam.py:

    • Update track_target_and_setup_instrument and _handle_slew_and_change_filter to pass in az_wrap_strategy.

    • Implement new tcs abstract property introduced in BaseTrackTargetAndTakeImage.

  • In auxtel/track_target_and_take_image.py, update track_target_and_setup_instrument to pass az_wrap_strategy to atcs.slew_icrs.

  • In base_track_target_and_take_image.py:

    • Add az_wrap_strategy to the script configuration.

      This allows users to specify the azimuth wrap strategy the TCS should use when slewing to a target. The parameter is exposed as an enumeration with all the available options. Users select an option by adding one of the available strings. When configuring the Script, the configure method will convert the string into the appropriate enumeration, calling in the tcs property to return the WrapStrategy enumeration.

    • Update set_metadata to use get_estimated_time_on_target as the script estimated duration and also to fill up all the relevant metadata information.

      This update will make sure the nextVisit event published by this script has all the relevant information needed by prompt processing.

    • Add new method get_estimated_time_on_target that returns the estimated time on target, based on the script configuration.

      Having this method allows the Script to uniformly estimate its duration in different execution stages.

    • Add new tcs abstract property to BaseTrackTargetAndTakeImage, which should return the instance of the tcs class on the script.

    This change goes in the direction of supporting higher level abstraction that require calling the TCS class from within the base class.

  • In base_track_target, add support for azimuth wrap strategy and differential tracking.

    • Include configuration parameters to allow users to specify values for azimuth wrap strategy and differential tracking.

    • Pass those values to slew_icrs and slew_object when running the script.

  • Add unit tests for TrackTargetAndTakeImageGenCam

v1.15.3

  • BaseScriptTestCase fix a potential unbound local variable error in check_executable. This is only triggered if the process cannot be created or $PATH cannot be set, so it obscures some other problem.

v1.15.2

  • Update unit tests to be compatible with ts_salobj 7.2, while remaining backwards compatible.

  • Remove unused dependencies, including ts_atdome, ts_atdometrajectory and ts_atmcssimulator.

  • Modernize the CI Jenkinsfile.

  • In auxtel/track_target_and_take_image.py: * Use snaps instead of isolated observations when visit is standard. * Add a new configuration parameter “filter_suffix” to allow appending strings to the filter name.

v1.15.1

  • In python/lsst/ts/standardscripts/auxtel/track_target_and_take_image.py, implement new abstract method check_feasibility.
