deticpt_chipdb - constructs chip position database for the deticpt program
xdeticpt_chipdb [-help|-version]
Options which take values are seperated from their values by either
white space or the = character.
Boolean flag. Specifying -hack will cause a hack to be applied to the Aimpoint offsets. This hack was designed to force aimpoints to land at positions specified in the POG. -hack is off by default, you probably want to leave it off for modern CALDBs.
Determine focal distance by raytracing the system. Requires -tracenest and -config_db to be set.
Path to the trace-nest executable. -tracenest is used to determine the OSAC focus position which is used in the aimpointdb.
-tracenest configuration db to use for determining the OSAC focus position which ends up in the aimpointdb.
The OSAC aimpoint. These must be specified if --raytrace is not. --aimcomment must also be specified.
Where the OSAC aimpoint came from. Required if not using --raytrace.
Directory into which to write the results. Three directories will be created within that directory with the names aimpointdb, chipsizedb, and chipposdb.
Top level directory for the CALDB.
Relative path from -caldb to the CALDB index file. The CALDB index file is used to determine which AIMPTS, GEOM, SKY, and TDET files to use.
AIMPTS file in the CALDB.
GEOM file in the CALDB.
SKY file in the CALDB.
TDET file in the CALDB.
Boolean flag. -osac causes the chipposdb LSI position to be output in OSAC coords. Default is off, which is probably what you want.
Print this usage info.
Print the version info and exit.
mkdbs creates the aimpoint, chip position, and chip size databases for use by the deticpt program. It generates the databases from information gathered from the CALDB.
mkdbs gathers data from the CALDB. The user may specify the path to the CALDB, -caldb option and a CALDB index file, -caldbidx or may specify each CALDB file used explicitly via the options -aimpts, -geom, -sky, -tdet. If the -caldbidx is specified, it extracts the locations of the AIMPTS, GEOM, SKY, and TDET files within the CALDB from the index. Otherwise, the individual files as specified by the corresponding options are used.
Outputs are listed in the file 00FILEDESC.txt included in this distribution.
