'''[wiki:GraspSwControllerCmd pixtype]'''

[[TracNav(GraspContents)]]

||Command:||'''pixtype'''||
||Contexts:||Network socket, serial console.  Applies only if the CCD is an "OTA" device.||
||Function:||Tell the controller which pixel structure design the OTA has.||
||Required Parameters:||'''type'''='''0'''|'''1'''|'''2'''|'''102'''|'''103'''||
||Optional Parameters:||'''dev'''='''all'''|'''0'''|'''1'''||

The following table explains the possible values for the '''type''' field:

||'''0'''||The CCD is not an OTA, and can only shift "up" and "down"
||'''1'''||The CCD has MITLL OTA Type I pixel structure
||'''2'''||The CCD has MITLL OTA Type II pixel structure
||'''102'''||The CCD is an STA with Type II pixel structure but STA phase wiring
||'''103'''||The CCD is a newer STA device with yet another variation

If in doubt, it may be necessary to try all non-zero values. ''NOTE: For all MITLL CCID58, the correct form is:''

{{{
pixtype dev=all type=1
}}}

''as all MITLL devices made to date have Type I pixel design.

=== Notes: ===

Shifts along axis2 (the normal parallel direction) typically tend to function even if the pixtype setting is wrong.  See also [wiki:GraspSwControllerCmdOt ot command].

If dev= is omitted, the last default dev applies (which can be either 0 or 1, but not "all").
