For example, PSF characterization will want to hide all but a set of DCB fibers, or all but every fifth fiber, etc. </p> <p>One proposed mechanism: add a &lt;maskFile&gt; argument to the main fps motion commands (home, moveToPfsDesign, moveThetaSteps, etc). This file would have rows with GFM fiberIds and a "masked" column to <b>not</b> move, in addition to the already masked broken cobras. We might later use this mechanism for other things, so probably best to have a named "masked" column for this purpose.</p> <p>Not obvious whether/how we would reuse these. Another ticket for later.</p> INSTRM-1603
