Figure 9: Example of a VIMOS pre-imaging finding chart generated with GUCT.
Some “good to know” reminders:
•
Check that you have the correct OB highlighted in P2PP when sending the FC
from GUCT to P2PP. A finding chart cannot be send to the wrong instrument but it
could be send to the wrong instrument mode.
•
FC names must be unique. It is not allowed to attach an additional FC to an OB if
a FC with identical name is already attached to the same OB.
•
Finding Charts are attached and added sequentially to one and the same OB as
often as they are created and send by GUCT to the same OB, although the
maximum current limit is 5 FCs per OB. Attention: if you have changed any
settings/parameters, e.g. the target field center, in your second, third, … FC that
you are going to attach to the OB, then the OB parameters will also be updated
when sending the second, third, … FC to P2PP.
•
GUCT will always save the FC before sending it to P2PP.
•
GUCT creates FCs in JPEG format and with a maximum size of 1MB.
5. Interface with P2PP
The GuideCam tool can be used in tandem with P2PP (version 3.4.2 or higher). This is
recommended, because it minimizes the user’s efforts and possible mistakes. Figure 10
illustrates how the GuideCam tool is interfaced with P2PP.
