sequencer-app

A command line application that facilitates starting Sequence Component and/or Sequencer.

Supported Commands

  • seqcomp
  • sequencer

Sequence Component (seqcomp)

Spawns a new Sequence Component with provided subsytem and name. Note that with this command, only sequence component is spawned, not a sequencer. A separate loadScript command needs to be sent to the sequence component to spawn a sequencer inside it.

See sequencer command to spawn a sequence component, and a sequencer in single command.

Options accepted by this command are described below:

  • -s : subsystem of the sequence component, for e.g. tcs, iris etc
  • -n, --name : optional name for sequence component, for e.g. primary, backup etc

Examples:

esw-ocs-app seqcomp -s tcs -n primary

esw-ocs-app seqcomp -s tcs
Note

If sequence component name is not specified, a new name (prefixed with subsystem) will be generated for the sequence component. For e.g. TCS_123, IRIS_123

Sequencer (sequencer)

Spawns two things:

  • SequenceComponent: with provided subsystem, name
  • Sequencer: with provided observing mode and subsytem of sequencer (-i option) if specified or else subsystem of sequence component (-s option)

Options accepted by this command are described below:

  • -s : subsystem of the sequence component, for e.g. tcs, iris etc
  • -n, --name : optional name for sequence component, for e.g. primary, backup etc
  • -i : optional subsystem of sequencer script, for e.g. tcs, iris etc. Default value: subsystem provided by -s option
  • -m, --mode : observing mode, for e.g. darknight

Examples:

Below example will spawn a sequence component OCS-primary and a sequencer TCS-darknight in it.

esw-ocs-app sequencer -s ocs -n primary -i tcs -m darknight

Example below will spawn a sequence component IRIS-primary and a sequencer IRIS-darknight in it.

esw-ocs-app sequencer -s iris -n primary -m darknight

Setting the default log level

The default log level for any component is specified in the application.conf file of the component. In this case, the Sequence Component is shared code among all Sequencers. Therefore, to specify a log level for your Sequencer, use the java -D option to override configuration values at runtime. For log level, the format is:

-Dcsw-logging.component-log-levels.<Subsystem>.<observingMode>=<LEVEL>

For example, using the example above:

esw-ocs-app sequencer -s iris -n primary -m darknight -Dcsw-logging.component-log-levels.IRIS.darknight=TRACE
