pfilter command

NAME

pfilter - positions the filter wheel

SYNOPSIS

pfilter [name] [all] [debug]

DESCRIPTION

This program positions the filter wheel to the filter `name' specified on the command line.

If no arguments are specified it returns the name of the filter.

If the all switch is specified it prints the names of the filter bolt from the database. Note that filter names are case sensitive and should not contain embedded spaces.

If an error occurs or the program cannot find the filter the status flag is set to 1, otherwise it is 0.

The program looks by first determining the filter wheel position number using tx filter of rstage then looking up the names in the Filter table of the database.

For example:
pfilter red 
pfilter all
