UCoMP COMMENT BY berkey: Mon Apr 04 02:33:13 GMT 2022
Spent some time this afternoon with marginal skies trying to characterize how to find occulter spill.  And now to programmaticly calculate how far the occulter is misaligned in mm for a given amount of detected occulter spill.

Algorithm still needs a bit more work, some of the trouble might be the high levels of aerosols seen when working with some of these tests.

The manual center occulter VI now has a couple more widgets to describe how bad the mis-alignment is.   Including X and Y experimental numeric boxes, and a threshold image of the pixels to align (hidden to the upper left of the normal center occulter screen).At this point I am not sure how helpful the new widgets, and they can be ignored for now.
