libgs.hardware.DummyRotator¶

class libgs.hardware.DummyRotator[source]¶

A dummy class that responds like the rotator but does nothing.

It is used internally by the GroundStation class if the user tries to interact with it without having a rotator connected. For example when testing direct connection to a flatsat. But can also be instantiated directly if required.

Methods

`get_azel`()	Get current az, el pointing
`set_azel`(az, el, args, *kwargs)	Set new az, el pointing

Attributes

Inherited from base class

`azel_err`(az, el)	Returns the error in degrees between the current pointing and a specified az/el
`azel_to_antenna_angles`(pdat[, cont_track_method])	From a table of az/el pointings, compute a new table that minimises the amount of movements while keeping the off-pointing within the antenna beamwidth
`in_pos`([az, el])	Check if antenna is in position.
`stow`([block])	Stow antenna

`az`	Return / Set current azimuth
`azel`	Return / Set current (azimuth, elevation).
`cmd_az`	Return / Set commanded azimuth
`cmd_el`	Return / Set commanded elevation
`el`	Return / Set current elevation
`name`	Property for getting/setting the radio name.
