CUSTOM(OPCS) Optical Printer Control System CUSTOM(OPCS)
NAME
custom - custom commands configured by the local site engineer
OVERVIEW
These are recommended custom commands, which are best implemented
by the local site's engineer during setup, using RUNCMD(OPCSDEFS).
These are commands not built into OPCS, but rather added on during
loading of the OPCSDEFS.OPC file, and assigned to scripts.
TYPICAL CUSTOM COMMANDS
-----------------------
load - Unseat projectors for loading
lineup - Seat camera for lineups
unlock - Unlock motors for manual adjustment
ycm - Y/C/M shooting
For more, see the scripts in the RUN directory, e.g. .\RUN\LOAD.RUN
For example, the 'ycm' custom command is implemented as three files:
ycm.run -- YCM 'runcmd' script
ycm.hlp -- YCM script's help file (describes command, args)
ycm.vrp -- YCM script's velrep file (velocities for YCM shooting)
There are example versions of these commands that come as part
of the software, but you can define your own too. The RUNCMD
definitions are in the opcsdefs.opc file (commented out), and
the associated '.run' files are in the work\run\* directory.
Simply edit the opcsdefs.opc file, and uncomment or create the
commands you need, and modify the .run scripts to suit your needs.
Most of the 'example' commands come with man pages and/or .hlp
files. Please refer to those for more information.
Custom commands that have man pages are:
LOAD(OPCS) - unseat projectors for film loading
LINEUP(OPCS) - seat the camera for lineups
UNLOCK(OPCS) - unlock motors for manual adjustment
SEE ALSO
RUNCMD(OPCSDEFS) - define your own OPCS command as a RUN script
DOSCMD(OPCSDEFS) - define DOS commands that dont need the ! prefix
HOME(DOCS) - external command to home the motors
