The Sequencer GUI (initialization and operation)
After the startup of HARPS-N the instrument is ready to the initialization of the subsystems
and the start of operation.
The sequencer GUI (Figure 2) is divided into several sections:
The sequence control buttons, for the interaction with the observing blocks
The Instrument control buttons, for the interaction with the HARPS-N’s subsystems
The observation Execution logs window, where the commands execution and the
errors are shown
The acquisition control buttons, (expose, repoint, etc), allows to do actions related
with the autoguider’s image visualized by the DS9 application.
The DS9 application shows the autoguider’s image and interacts with the sequencer.
During the command execution the status is visualized into the observing status
window and, at the end of execution, a bell sound confirms the correct execution of the
command (if the sound is a horn noise, this means that something goes wrong and an
error should be shown in the observing status window).
