ASPRO2: CHARA Proposal to add to enable editing the configuration file of ASPRO
See theo's document: "Proposal to add to enable editing the configuration file of ASPRO. Theo ten Brummelaar Version 1: 2020-12-07"
Ideas:
- import Aspro2 configuration (interferometer + instrument + all needed setups) into the JMMC (obs ?) database
- Provide web UI to display / edit such configuration ? focus first on editing only telescope positions ? ie edit the telescope configuration and its stations (convert positions from GPS one into local equatorial plane, using geoid ?)
- Generate Aspro2 configuration files, build and package an up-to-date aspro-conf library to be loaded by ASPRO2 GUI (master config)
- If needed, use versioning on configuration variants (CHARA-2021.x ...) and let the user download any generated Aspro2 configuration files (custom config), and load them in the ASPRO2 GUI (advanced user)
Alternatively, such editor could be made in Java Swing GUI but more painful.
