---+ new RT4 control system on RTLinux - scanning issue

---++ scanning in horizontal AZ-ZD (azimuth-zenith_distance) coordinates

---+++ version of rt_main.c 2006-12-09 15:46

   * rt_main.c 2006-12-09 15:46: <br />

---+++ with scan_corners-0.1.patch

---++++ a few comments on the patch
The main change in the algorithm was to use the *measured* offsets
for making decisions instead of the *set* (requested) offsets.

test_scan.c  at present uses an arbitrary algorithm for modelling
how the telescope actually gets to where it wants to get, and
shakes the telescope around a bit to possibly detect any obvious
numerical rounding problems.

SCAN_CORNER_TOLERANCE_DEG  in rt_main.h decides how sharp or
rounded the corners should be - the smaller it is, the more
sharp they are.

parameter in rt_main.h: #define SCAN_CORNER_TOLERANCE_DEG 0.002  /* tolerance in degrees for scans */
