    v1 v2
    1 1  '''[wiki:GraspSwControllerCmd celldes]''' 
    2 2  [[TracNav(GraspContents)]] 
    3 3  ||Command:||'''celldes'''|| 
    4 4  ||Contexts:||Network socket, serial console.  Applies only if the CCD is an "OTA" device.|| 
    5 5  ||Function:||Designates the intended function for each of the 64 cells.|| 
    6 6  ||Required Parameters:||'''cells'''=(64 S/V/D characters)|| 
    7 7  ||Optional Parameters:||'''dev'''='''all'''|'''0'''|'''1'''|| 
    8 8  The string of cell designators must be a sequence of '''exactly 64 characters''': 
    9 9  ||'''S'''||Designates Science readout use|| 
    10 10  ||'''V'''||Designates Video readout during exposure(*)|| 
    11 11  ||'''D'''||Designates a Dead cell which should be electrically floated|| 
    12 12  Order of the cells is row-major listing of the Catesian coordinate system of cell positions. 
    13 13  Usage for the cells: 
    14 14  ||xy07||xy17||xy27||xy37||xy47||xy57||xy67||xy77|| 
    15 15  ||xy06||xy16||xy26||xy36||xy46||xy56||xy66||xy76|| 
    16 16  ||xy05||xy15||xy25||xy35||xy45||xy55||xy65||xy75|| 
    17 17  ||xy04||xy14||xy24||xy34||xy44||xy54||xy64||xy74|| 
    18 18  ||xy03||xy13||xy23||xy33||xy43||xy53||xy63||xy73|| 
    19 19  ||xy02||xy12||xy22||xy32||xy42||xy52||xy62||xy72|| 
    20 20  ||xy01||xy11||xy21||xy31||xy41||xy51||xy61||xy71|| 
    21 21  ||xy00||xy10||xy20||xy30||xy40||xy50||xy60||xy70|| 
    22 22  Is sent in the string in the following order: 
    23 23  cells='''xy00 xy10 xy20 . . . xy67 xy77''' 
    24 24  An actual command selecting all cells on "dev 1" but using xy11 for video would look like: 
    25 25  {{{ 
    26 26  celldes dev=1 cells="SSSSSSSSSVSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" 
    27 27  }}} 
    28 28  (*) CCD readouts, video or science, are "destructive" so a even though a "V" cell still gets included in the final readout, there is no valid image data. 
    29 29  === Notes: === 
    30 30  If dev= is omitted, the last default dev applies (which can be either 0 or 1, but not "all"). 
    31 31  The FITS header for each exposure contains a nice self-documenting map illustrating which cells where video or floated, in addition to the 64-character keyword value '''CELLDES'''. 
    32 32  Various image displays may be rotated or flipped to match sky! 
      33   
      34  STA OTA devices have cellrow 0 on top instead of on the bottom (when column 0 is shown on the left.)
