CoordinateConverter¶

Bases: object

Coordinate conversions for the collimated beam projector (CBP).

This object supports the following tasks:

• Given a desired CBP “beam arrangement” (e.g. a particular beam should fall on a particular spot on the pupil and be focused to spot on a particular position of a detector), compute the necessary telescope and CBP pointing and the information about where each beam is directed.
• Given the current telescope and CBP pointing and a desired offset to the resulting CBP beam arrangement, compute the new telescope and CBP pointing.

See how to use this object for a summary of how to use this object.

Notes

How to Use This Object

Call a set method, such as setDetectorPos to specify a desired CBP beam arrangement, or an offset method, such as offsetDetectorPos, to offset the current beam arrangement.

This computes new values for telescope and CBP pointing, as attributes telAzAltObserved, telRotObserved and cbpAzAltObserved. Read these attributes and move the telescope and CBP accordingly.

Get information about the beams. There are two ways to do this:

• To get information for all beams, iterate on this object to get one lsst.cbp.BeamInfo per beam. Also the length of this object is the number of beams.
• To get information for a specific beam, use [beamNameOrIndex]; see __getitem__ for details. Also attribute beamNames provides an iterable of beam names.

That is basically it. However, it may also help to know the following:

Whenever the telescope, camera rotator or CBP are moved, you must update the appropriate attribute(s) accordingly. Otherwise the beam information will be incorrect and offset commands will not work as expected. After each such update you can read the new beam information as usual.

You are free to update configuration information at any time, by setting the appropriate attribute(s). The two items you are most likely to update are:

• config.telRotOffset: set this if you want to correct the orientation of the spot pattern on the focal plane.

After updating configuration information, read the new beam information (and possibly new telescope and/or CBP position information, though few configuration parameters directly affect those) to see the effect of the change.

Set Methods

The methods setFocalPlanePos, setDetectorPos and setFocalFieldAngle all allow you to specify the desired arrangement for one beam:

• The position of the beam on the pupil.
• The position of the spot on the focal plane, expressed in different
ways depending on the method. In most cases you will probably want to specify the position of the spot in pixels on a sepecified detector, in which case call setFocalPlanePos.

These set methods simply update the pointing of the telescope and CBP (telAzAltObserved, telRotObserved and cbpAzAltObserved). If you then move the telescope and CBP as suggested, the beam should have the arrangement you specified, and the spot pattern of all the beams should be aligned with the detectors.

Offset Methods

The methods offsetFocalPlanePos, offsetDetectorPos and offsetFocalFieldAngle all allow you to offset the arrangement for one beam:

• Offset the position of the beam on the pupil.
• Offset the position of the spot on the focal plane,
expressed in different ways depending on the method. In most cases you will probably want to specify the offset of the spot in pixels on a sepecified detector, in which case call offsetFocalPlanePos.

These offset methods simply update the pointing of the telescope and CBP (telAzAltObserved, telRotObserved and cbpAzAltObserved). If you then move the telescope and CBP as suggested, the beam should have the arrangement you specified, and the spot pattern of all the beams should be aligned with the detectors.
