void carma::antenna::common::FocusControl::doZTracking	(	in boolean	tracking,
		in unsigned long	seqNo
	)
raises	(	carma::util::UserException
	)

Turn on/off focus Z position tracking as a function of elevation Implemented only on OVRO antennas.

The sequence number is used to verify the remote system has completed

the requested operation. The sequence number is stored locally on the remote system and once complete, the corresponding monitor point for this sequence number is set to the one passed as seqNo.

Parameters

tracking
seqNo	Sequence number to return when command completes in monitor point named OpticSeqNum

void carma::antenna::common::FocusControl::setX	(	in float	position,
		in unsigned long	seqNo
	)
raises	(	carma::util::UserException
	)

Focus (secondary) position in X (horizontal when looking at horizon).

Implemented only on OVRO antennas.

The sequence number is used to verify the remote system has completed the requested operation. The sequence number is stored locally on the remote system and once complete, the corrisponding monitor point for this sequence number is set to the one passed as seqNo.

Parameters

position	in millimeters
seqNo	Sequence number to return when command completes in monitor point named OpticSeqNum

void carma::antenna::common::FocusControl::setY	(	in float	position,
		in unsigned long	seqNo
	)
raises	(	carma::util::UserException
	)

Focus (secondary) position in Y.

The Y direction is vertical when looking at the horizon (sag).
Implemented only on OVRO antennas.

The sequence number is used to verify the remote system has completed the requested operation. The sequence number is stored locally on the remote system and once complete, the corresponding monitor point for this sequence number is set to the one passed as seqNo.

Parameters

position	in millimeters
seqNo	Sequence number to return when command completes in monitor point named OpticSeqNum

void carma::antenna::common::FocusControl::setZ	(	in float	position,
		in unsigned long	seqNo
	)
raises	(	carma::util::UserException
	)

Focus (secondary) position in Z.

Z is parallel to the %antenna beam.
Implemented on OVRO and BIMA antennas (no SZA).

The sequence number is used to verify the remote system has completed the requested operation. The sequence number is stored locally on the remote system and once complete, the corresponding monitor point for this sequence number is set to the one passed as seqNo.

Parameters

position	in millimeters
seqNo	Sequence number to return when command completes in monitor point named OpticSeqNum
