• This component communicates with the low level hardware access layer to:
  • Execute observations; i.e. moves the telescope to a given position
  • Acquires the image from the Instrument for a given exposure time once the telescope is in position

Methods

• TYPES::ImageType observe(in TYPES::Position coordinates, in long exposureTime): Calls the internal method moveTo and then makes use of Instrument method takeImage passing along exposure time
• void moveTo(in TYPES::Position coordinates): Commands the Telescope to move to the commanded position by calling TelescopeControl method objfix
• TYPES::Position getCurrentPosition(): Returns the current Telescope position

Dummy Components

For development testing, you require the following simulated components:

• TelescopeControl

Instrument:

• Sets the CCD camera on and off
• Takes an image with a given exposure time

Methods

• void cameraOn(): Method on on Camera component gets called
• void cameraOff(): Method off on Camera component gets called
• TYPES::ImageType takeImage(in long exposureTime): Method getFrame on Camera component gets called, passing along exposureTime and setting a default iso value, returning the image

• void setRGB(in TYPES::RGB rgbConfig): This is just a placeholder method for better Camera implementations

  • Store value in local vairable
• void setPixelBias(in long bias): This is just a placeholder method for better Camera implementations
  • Store value in local vairable
• void setResetLevel(in long resetLevel): This is just a placeholder method for better Camera implementations
  
  • Store value in local vairable
