==== Acquisition Template METIS_img_n_acq ====

=== Procedure for METIS_img_n_acq ===

++++
Prepare for preset|
  * Stop chopper
  * Stop CFO pupil stabilization
  * Stop AO
    * open loop
    * stop field stabilization
    * stop registration
    * stop modulation
  * Stop derotator
  * Handover to telescope
    * CCS takes control of M4 and M5
    * Telescope gets ready for next preset
++++
++++
Preset telescope|
  * send target coordinates to TCS
  * initiate guiding/tracking. Guide star may be chosen by operator (if no coordinates supplied), or use the one specified in the template.
  * wait for signal “arrived at position” / “guiding”
++++
++++
Configure CFO|
  * CFO can be configured while the telescope is presetting
  * ''CFO PP1'': select cold stop PPS-CFO1
  * ''CFO PP1'': open (no ADC foreseen for N) 
  * Start derotator. Options:
    * Field tracking (pupil rotates)
    * Pupil tracking (field rotates, used for HCI)
    * No tracking (stopped). For engineering purposes.
  * Chopper to home position
  * Initialize pupil stabilization mirror
  * ''CFO FP2'' to N Field Stop
  * LMS pick-off to open
  * Set chopper parameters
  * Start chopping
++++
++++
Setup imager|
  * Set ''IMG-LM PP1'' to CLOSED (no light on IMG-LM system)
  * [comment] IMG-N PP1 has three wheels. The wheel located exactly in the pupil plane will contain the pupil masks (stops; for coronagraphy), and the N-band grism. The other two wheels located behind the one in the pupil plane will contain the science filters, and the neutral density (ND) filters (METIS-3954, METIS-3782, METIS-5529).
  * Move ''IMG-N PP1 MASK/GRISM'' (mask/grism wheel) to open
  * Move ''IMG-N PP1 FILT'' to selected science filter 
  * Move ''IMG-N PP1 ND'' to selected neutral-density filter (for the acquisition of very bright targets)
  * Pupil imaging lens to open
    * [comment] a mechanism for pupil viewing. Not located in the pupil plane, probably in front of the detector (tbc). In IMG used for engineering/AIV purposes.
  * Set detector parameters (total exposure time, readout mode). The system will set the DIT/NDIT combination depending on the background levels.
++++
++++
AO and target acquisition|
  * Details of the AO acquisition are described in \cite{SCAOFa}.
  * Preset AO
    * Set SCAO filter wheel to K if Kmag > 0, otherwise K_ND  
    * Move the field selector ''SCA-PP1 FS'' to the pointing reference position
    * setup WFS (detector and modulator)
    * start WFS
  * Wait for the telescope preset to complete
  * Center the guide star at the pointing reference position
    * Detect decenter
    * apply corrections to the PFS pointing origin
  * Close the pupil position control loop
  * Take over AO control from the telescope
    * close the loop on the METIS WFS with few modes
    * sequential field stabilization mode is the default
  * Optimize mis-registration
    * bootstrap initial mis-registration
    * increase to full AO correction performance
  * Measure the position of the target in the science focal plane.
  * Center the target in the science focal plane using CFO-PP2 chopper.

**Note 1:** The above sequence assumes that the pointing accuracy of the ELT is better than the field selector FoV (2 arcsec). Otherwise, we will do a small search with the SCAO field selector mirror. This is just to be on the safe side, we may not use it (see the Note 2) or only needed during commissioning. 

**Note 2:** there are two parts in the telescope pointing: the telescope pointing itself and the telescope alignment with the instrument (installed in the Nasmyth platform which has a relative motion). 

++++
++++
While AO loop is closed|
  * AO controls M4/M5 (via CCS)
    * RTC communicates directly with CCS (no ICS involvement)
  * Monitor range
  * Schedule ROUS maneuver (trigger or postpone the  next execution of major stroke off-loading events)
  * Save WFS data (slopes)
    * TBD when (all the time?)
    * For PSF reconstruction, NCPA removal

Notes: 
  * It is not yet clear what will be the standard chopping pattern, it will possibly be a 3-point pattern instead of the "classical" 2-point pattern. This will require parameters to define the chopper positions, instead of the chopper throw/angle combination. These keywords should be updated once the "main" chopping pattern is decided.
