CB Com module control of Tel C acquisition camera and mirrors
-------------------------------------------------------------

A small code has been written to flip on and off the acquisition
camera and their correspondings mirrors. This is the software
equivalent of the button grey metallic box.

As of today only the telescope C cbcom boxes have been plugged and
therefore only telescope C acquisition camera can be activated by
soft.

The code source telmotorcam.cpp and its dependency file telmotorcam.h
can be found in the cbcom directory.

/home/iota/iotamc_bac/vxworks/cbcom/

This code has been added to the the cbcom subproject which is itself
part of the

/home/iota/iotamc/vxworks/IOTAMC.wsp project

To operate the acquisition cameras download the whole cbcom module to
the vxworks cpu

open a windshell then

> cbcom_start

if no return try again

> flip_c // flips the mirror on the optical path and swithes the
camera on.

> flip_c // again flips out of the path and switches the camera off

The equivalent flip_a and flip_b exist but requires the cbcom boxes
installation.
