Software in /prod/src/tcsmnt/mntc

The compile is dependent on certain libraries and routines. The make file
is now correct for Linux RHEL4.

Needs SLALIB - currently using a version found on colossus which was a 2005
version. The makefile on colossus is NOT able to be used to compile since
it does not know about linux. The provenance of the 2005 version is unknown
but it seems to work. Not obvious if SLALIB still available.

routines Xpo and Xgr called for in makefile were originally listed as being
in utilib. The were in GW. The makefile was fixed to correct for that.

The libraries for linux are completely different

LYNX:
LIBSP= ../../slalib/libsla.a -lm /usr/lib/libXm.a /usr/lib/libXt_s.a \
              /usr/lib/libX11_s.a -lm -lbsd
XGRAPH_LIB=     ../../utilib/Xgr.o ../../utilib/Xpo.o

LINUX:
LIBSP= ../../slalib/libsla.a -lm /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.a \
                /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.a \
                /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.a /usr/X11R6/lib/libXp.a \
                /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.a /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.a \
                /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.a /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.a -lm -lbsd
XGRAPH_LIB=     ../../GW/Xgr.o ../../GW/Xpo.o

make mntfitc
make mntgra

To run

Collect data - use tool on "special" menu of TCS
Will place data in /data/star/mntm_s*.data (unique filenames for date).

Run /prod/src/tcsmnt/mntc/mntfitc
It will prompt for data file above
It will ask which parameters to fit. Enter -16 {NOTE SIGN}
It will throw out bad stars, etc. You may refit and switch parameters (can
cycle through list choosing each parameter).

When complete, will have several files. Run
     /prod/src/tcsmnt/mntc/mntgra mntm_*.data.out.
This will produce the graphs (it will pile a stack of graphs on top of one
another in the corner of the screen probably).

Other files:
mntm_*.data.recap - data, fit and coefficients
mntm_*.data.coef - coefficient file
mntm-*.data.zero - zeroes file [starts as 0]

The file /data/lib/tcs_files contains the names of the production mount model
files, by focus. Replace the names in the file with new versions.
You must also copy the coef file and the zero file to /data/lib. You might
want to copy the zero file for the existing mount model to the new zero file
name in the /data/lib directory so that you retain those zeroes.

Typical overall fit rms should be around 6 arcsec.
