BAIT: xtel command

NAME

xtel - X-window telescope coordinate display program

SYNOPSIS

xtel [sleep=#] [help]

DESCRIPTION

This program displays the current telescope coordinates at an interval specified by the `sleep' flag. The epoch (which will be displayed) will change depending on the epoch used in the most recent pointing command. The telescope server must be running as well as X-windows. The program can be ended by clicking the mouse in the white portion of the window.

Note: since the server is not multi-tasking it will not be updated while the telescope is pointing or in other ways busy.

FLAGS

sleep=# - sets the interval (in integer seconds) between position interrogations. The default value is 5;

BUGS

The server sometimes gets messages crossed and may put extraneous messages on the screen.
