NAME

prsAction - Preset Action Handler
            Component of the TCS Preset Functional Module

 

SYNOPSIS


prsAction [-r db_root_point]  [-n processName]

 

DESCRIPTION


The Preset Action Handling process receives command from the Preset
Sequencer process when an actual telescope preset has to be performed.
Than it takes care of sending the proper sequence of commands to the other
TCS modules in order to setup the telescope with the requested parameters.

It cooperates with prsControl(1).

The optional argument db_root_point is the root point of the TCS packet DB branch.
If omitted it is defaulted to value of the TCS_DBPOINT environment
variable or, if even this not defined, hard-coded to ":Appl_data:TCS".

The Preset sub-branch root point is built appending the point
name "prs" to the TCS branch name. The default database point for
Presetting is then: ":Appl_data:TCS:prs"

The optional argument processName is the name under which the process'
instance registers with the CCS and hence the destination process name
for commands to it. If omitted, the instance registers with CCS with
its UNIX process name, as passed by the shell in argv[0].

 

ENVIRONMENT


TCS_DBPOINT specifies the root point of the TCS database branch

 

COMPILATION FLAGS


TARGET_TCS Is used to build the application for VLT (VLT_TCS) or
           NTT (NTT_TCS). It is usually set to the correct value
           in the makefile
 

RETURN VALUES


0 if everything OK
1 on error
