NAME

checkpointing - creates coordinate list data file from starlist

SYNOPSIS

checkpointing observe | analyze 

DESCRIPTION

checkpointing take the list of stars makepointing.coord created by makepointing and generates the a coordinate list of the telescope positions. It can be used to check the pointing algorithm of the telescope.

It has two modes:

observe: takes the data by pointing the telescope sequentially to each target in the file makepointing.coord. It then writes the file checkpointing.coord from the positions found from the command tx where.

analyze: then compares the distance between the above two files.
