However, the image name generated by MCS is not following the convention f'PFSC</p> {VisitID} {FrameID} <p>.fits'. </p> INSTRM-1266

VisitID and FrameID name convention of MCS-FPS interaction

This function calls gen2Actor in line 218.</p> <p>This needs to be changed for Subaru:</p> <ul> <li>iic gets the visit from gen2</li> <li>iic sends visit= to fps for all the top-level commands (motor maps, convergence, etc.). iic already does that for SPS, btw.</li> <li>iic sends visit= and frame= down to mcs for each exposure.</li> </ul> <p>getNextFilename is only for standalone testing.</p> <p>This is actually slightly more involved than I stated. Because it is so informative to group data by action (motor map, convergence), cobraCharmer has been creating a directory for each of these, with subdirectories for PFxC and stack files, logs, and output files (.xml and the file versions of the opdb tables, mainly).</p> <p>I think we should continue doing this. Which essentially boils down to telling the mcsActor where to save the PFxC files. For now I propose being explicit (path=/data/raw/$date/fps/$runName), though we could also send the name of the "run directory" (run=$runName) and use a/the butler to instantiate the file path.</p> <p>I was wrong. Mcs should dumbly save PFxC files in <tt>/data/raw/mcs</tt>. They partition into runs nicely by visit. Fps can make structured directories separately, and can have symbolic links to the read data files. </p> <p>We <b>might</b> want to add mcs commands to control the generation of the very useful stack image files &#8211; with 100 Mpix cameras it does pay to avoid round trips to disk over the network.</p> <p>Basics done. Depends on unmerged opdb changes.</p> <p>Merged at a2bb35a, tagged 1.5.0</p> Development Rank 0|zzs56w:
