7.1.4 Flexure compensation templates that can be used in OBs
Two new templates are available in order to provide the possibility for the user to do
additional flexure compensations in case of a long OB (longer than 1h-1h15mn). This new
kind of template can be inserted between 2 science templates for instance.
In all cases, the flexures compensation is always performed at the beginning of an OB
through the acquisition template. Thus, for usual OB (shorter than 1h-1h15mn) there are no
needs to add this kind of template.
In case of slit observation, you could use the XSHOOTER_slt_AFC template. In case of IFU
observation, you could use the XSHOOTER_ifu_AFC template.
7.1.5 Science templates
Slit observations
The SEQ.AGSNAPSHOT is not available because a snapshot of the A&G camera is saved
at the end of the acquisition.
