Options

The lamp option turns the security light on. The safemode can by used to invoke or reset safemode. (This is the condition of reduced telescope slew rates which is caused by the entrance door opening.).

The telescope will not move if the estop is on, the floor is up, or the tilts are bad.

Used without options it reports back the current lamp and safemode status.

The ups will report ok when running on mains power and bad when running on batteries.

The power to the dome must be on before the floor can be raised. The floor can only be raised manually.
