| Answer: This could be a issue with the pointing parameters. If you are running a `PacsCal` in XHSPOT where a RA and DEC are necessary, you need to make sure that the `naifid` is properly set in the CUS script (ra and dec may remain 0.0d 0.0d). | Answer: 1 - This could be a issue with the pointing parameters. If you are running a `PacsCal` in XHSPOT where a RA and DEC are necessary, you need to make sure that the `naifid` is properly set in the CUS script (ra and dec may remain 0.0d 0.0d). |

| * example: For jupiter: it is a moving target: naifid > 0 (5 as reported by XHSPOT) | Example: For jupiter: it is a moving target: naifid > 0 (5 as reported by XHSPOT) ---- Question: There are some scripts I cannot load in XHSPOT Answer: Some scripts used to have the same "names" with as only difference the capitalisation within the name: e.g. `PacsEng_Spec_CRE_Setup` and `PacsEng_Spec_cre_setup`. These scripts have been renamed to include a _u and _l for upper-case and lower-case. Please remove your gen_aots directory and download the scripts again. ---- Question: I reloaded some saved AORs froma previous XHSpot session and the durations appear in *red*. Answer: By default because each AOR is linked to a specific HSpot session, properties may have changed between 2 instances of XHSpot session. Please rerun: time estimation from the menu: Tools: Recompute Estimates *Remarque*: Beware that Time Estimates depends on the mission configuration: if changes have been made between the 2 sessions, then estimated times will change. By resubmitting the same program: the status will changed again and the OD created from these specific AORs will be affected and not be valid any more and will have to be re-scheduled. ---- Question: I cannot reload my AORs Answer: It is possible that a given AOT has been modified between the mission configuration under which the AOR has been created and the current one. Please send me a Note with the name of the AOT. * If the AOR is a single observation: just redo your observation * If the AOR has multiple observations: then edit the xml file and remove the problematic observation. Then reload the AOR and add a new observation to the AOR. See [[http://wiki.mpe.mpg.de/Herschel/PACS/XHSPOT|HSPOT bugs and features]] |
X-HSPOT Frequently Asked Questions
NEWS: 2008-006-04: PACS1 is BACK
Question: I can't see the CUS scripts in the Observations menu
Answer: make sure that:
- the generic AOTs are downloaded from the MPE server
Calibrations -> manage generic AOTs -> download files from the server
- check ou uncheck the ones you want/don't want from the list given by HSPOT
-> load generic AOTs
- Everytime you open HSPOT from start
Calibrations -> manage generic AOTs -> load generic AOTs
check that your .spotherschel/gen_aots/ directory is not empty (valid under both Mac OSX and Linux, C:\Documents and Settings\AccountName\Application Data\spotherschel under Windows XP)
Question: When I press the Load generic AOTs, nothing happens
Answer: it can be that you java version is not up-to-date. You need at least version 1.5.0.08. You can check that on your system: java -version
Question: There is a discrepancy between the CUS Estimated Time and the XHSPOT Estimated Time.
Answer: 1 - This could be a issue with the pointing parameters. If you are running a PacsCal in XHSPOT where a RA and DEC are necessary, you need to make sure that the naifid is properly set in the CUS script (ra and dec may remain 0.0d 0.0d).
Example: For jupiter: it is a moving target: naifid > 0 (5 as reported by XHSPOT)
Question: There are some scripts I cannot load in XHSPOT
Answer: Some scripts used to have the same "names" with as only difference the capitalisation within the name: e.g. PacsEng_Spec_CRE_Setup and PacsEng_Spec_cre_setup. These scripts have been renamed to include a _u and _l for upper-case and lower-case. Please remove your gen_aots directory and download the scripts again.
Question: I reloaded some saved AORs froma previous XHSpot session and the durations appear in *red*.
Answer: By default because each AOR is linked to a specific HSpot session, properties may have changed between 2 instances of XHSpot session. Please rerun: time estimation from the menu: Tools: Recompute Estimates
*Remarque*: Beware that Time Estimates depends on the mission configuration: if changes have been made between the 2 sessions, then estimated times will change. By resubmitting the same program: the status will changed again and the OD created from these specific AORs will be affected and not be valid any more and will have to be re-scheduled.
Question: I cannot reload my AORs
Answer: It is possible that a given AOT has been modified between the mission configuration under which the AOR has been created and the current one. Please send me a Note with the name of the AOT.
- If the AOR is a single observation: just redo your observation
- If the AOR has multiple observations: then edit the xml file and remove the problematic observation. Then reload the AOR and add a new observation to the AOR.
