Version 1.3 of the LSST Scheduler, which adds the following new functionalities.

  1. Fully integrated Driver API
  2. Cold start. This feature enables one to replay a list of observations from a database to recreate the scheduler data structure. This is useful for real operations when the scheduler needs to be able to shut down and restart from the where it was.
  3. Scheduler Commandable SAL Component (CSC) prototype. The LSST Scheduler integrates with the Observatory Control System (OCS) by means of a CSC, which enables the OCS to start/stop/configure the scheduler as needed. This version includes a functional prototype of the Scheduler CSC that can be used for tests and integration purposes.
  4. Dome crawl. The observatory model now includes the ability to simulate dome crawling, where we take advantage of the larger dome aperture to decrease slewtime with respect to the telescope, by keeping the dome moving unsynchronized.
  5. Bug fixes and general improvements.
