OpihiExarata Documentation
OpihiExarata is a group of individual software packages, API services, and executables designed to process data from the IRTF Opihi telescope. It serves to be an astrometric solver, photometric calibrator, asteroid finder, ephemeris computer, and astrometric monitor. We accomplish this by integrating services and open source software collections.
This software is specific to the IRTF Opihi telescope.
Note
This documentation comes in two forms, a set of HTML webpages and a LaTeX document. The HTML is given preference when formatting issues arise between the two. We highly suggest that you read the HTML version as it is better formatted, easier to navigate, and more likely to be up to date.
User Manual
The user manual is primarily for general users, such as telescope operators and observing astronomers. It details how to use OpihiExarata in conjunction with the Opihi telescope, primarily covering the usage of its GUI and command-line interfaces. It can be accessed via the sidebar or by clicking here.
Technical Manual
The technical manual is primarily for software maintainers and other IRTF staff. (For general use purposes, see the User Manual). It details the overall architectural design and thought process of the OpihiExarata software in much greater detail to assist in development. (For function and class documentation of the raw API itself, see the Technical Manual.) It can be accessed via the sidebar or by clicking here.
Code Manual
The code manual is primarily for software maintainers and other IRTF staff. It details the software API documentation of OpihiExarata and its inner workings. Unlike the Technical Manual, this does not detail any of the design principles of the software but instead is the function and class documentation of the software (generated by Sphinx).
Code coverage is available in html. The code manual (and overall documentation) is generated via Sphinx and the code coverage is generated by a different tool. As such, it is manually linked rather than integrated.
