OpenTel
Tools
Introduction
The OpenTel Tools (ottools) provide a user interfaces to telescopes in the network.
They include tools to submit, cancel and query the status of observations. They also include tools for the scheduler and broker.
The tools are located in the bin/ folder of the OpenTel package.
Usage
1. Creating a list of telescopes fulfilling requirement using the broker
The requirements are presented in an RDF file with notation 3.
ot-broker requirements.n3 >| tellist.txt
Example
photon:~/ot-examples$ ot-broker /opt/OpenTel/broker/examples/req.n3
Amadeus.aip.de
MONET.Uni-Goettingen.de
STELLA-I.aip.de
STELLA-II.aip.de
Wolfgang.aip.de
|
2. Creating a schedule for a sequential network observation
ot-scheduler tellist.txt target.rtml
Example
photon:~/ot-examples$ ot-scheduler tellist.txt Gl586A.rtml
Created `schedule.txt'
STELLA-I.aip.de 2008-09-30T20:10:00 2008-10-01T04:30:00
MONET.Uni-Goettingen.de 2008-10-01T04:20:00 2008-10-01T08:00:00
Amadeus.aip.de 2008-10-01T07:50:00 2008-10-01T12:00:00
|
3. Submission of targets to one or more telescopes
Usage: ot-submit [OPTIONS] TARGET1.rtml [TARGET2.rtml ...]
Submit targets to the OpenTel network of telescopes.
-f, --force overwrite existing files
-h, --help show this info
-n, --nosubmit only write RMTL files, no submission
-s, --schedule schedule.txt use schdule file
|
Examples
a) Submission to one telescope
photon:~/ot-examples$ ot-submit Gl586A/Amadeus.rtml
Submitting Gl586A/Amadeus.rtml
Submitting observations/Gl586A to Amadeus.aip.de @ cashmere.aip.de:
|
b) Submission to all telescopes in tellist.txt
photon:~/ot-examples$ ot-submit -t tellist.txt Gl586A.rtml
|
c) Submission to all telescopes in the schedule.txt
photon:~/ot-examples$ ot-submit -s schedule.txt Gl586A.rtml -f
Applying `schedule.txt'
Creating Gl586A/STELLA-I.rtml
Creating Gl586A/MONET.rtml
Creating Gl586A/Amadeus.rtml

4. Status of local telescope schedules
Usage: ot-status TARGET1.rtml
Show currently scheduled targets.
-f, --full show full shedule of telescope
-h, --help show this info

Example
photon:~/ot-examples$ ot-status Gl586A/*
Looking for observations/Gl586A in schedule of Amadeus.aip.de @ cashmere.aip.de
observations/Gl586A
scheduled
Looking for observations/Gl586A in schedule of MONET.Uni-Goettingen.de @ gavo2.aip.de

5. Cancellation of targets
Usage: ot-cancel TARGET1.rtml [TARGET2.rtml ...]
Cancel targets submitted to a telescope.
-h, --help show this info
